New Directions Treatment Services

What New Directions Treatment Services does

New Directions Treatment Services (NDTS) is a Pennsylvania-based non-profit behavioral healthcare organization that operates medication-assisted treatment (MAT) clinics and outpatient psychiatric services for individuals with substance use disorders, opioid dependency, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Founded circa 1984 and serving Berks County and the Lehigh Valley for over forty years, NDTS runs two physical locations — a headquarters in Wyomissing and a regional site in Bethlehem — and staffs between 51 and 100 employees. The organization delivers care in both English and Spanish and is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).

The organization's clinical product is built on evidence-based MAT using FDA-approved medications — Methadone, Buprenorphine, Naltrexone, and Naloxone — to normalize brain chemistry, suppress withdrawal and cravings, and block the euphoric effects of illicit opioids. Adjacent services include specialized MAT for pregnant women, on-site Hepatitis-C testing and treatment, and community-based Care Management. Behavioral health and outpatient psychiatric services are delivered through Cedar Point Family Services, a wholly owned sub-brand offering psychiatric evaluations, counseling, and medication management for adolescents aged 12+ and adults.

NDTS generates revenue by billing patient insurance for clinical services on a recurring monthly cadence, with intake handled via walk-in visits and Care Managers facilitating scheduling. The organization relies on organic website presence, community resource directories, and referral partnerships with county agencies (Council on Chemical Abuse, Office of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities) for patient acquisition rather than paid marketing. No funding rounds, investors, or external capital events are disclosed; NDTS operates as an independent, privately governed non-profit treatment provider.
