New Choice Intervention

What New Choice Intervention does

New Choice Intervention Inc. (NCII) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, community-based outpatient behavioral health agency headquartered in Harvey, Illinois, with a branch office in Calumet City. The organization is CARF-accredited and Illinois Medicaid-certified, delivering mental health and substance use prevention services to Chicago's south side and southern suburbs. Its clinical approach combines Solution Focus and Evidence-Based Models and integrates science, medication, therapy, and spirituality in treatment planning.

The service platform spans adult outpatient treatment, mental health case coordination, psychosocial rehabilitation, homelessness outreach (H-PATH), ASAM-aligned addictions treatment and prevention, early intervention for children ages 0-3, school-based prevention for grades 6-12, mentoring for children of incarcerated parents and justice-involved youth, group therapy (psycho-education, health and wellness, substance abuse), and complementary clinical services (assessment, individual/family/group therapy, medication management, case management, crisis intervention, Medication-Assisted Treatment).

The business model is largely reimbursement-driven, with Medicaid as the primary funding source for covered services, supplemented by tax-deductible individual and corporate donations, event sponsorships, and tiered scholarship sponsorships ($200-$500/month) that subsidize counseling access for uninsured and low-income clients. Go-to-market is community-led: referrals are sourced through partnerships with schools, churches, social service agencies, hospitals, and corporations, amplified by community events, open houses, awareness lectures, and a Facebook presence. Customer segments are Medicaid-eligible individuals and families across multiple personas (adults with mental illness, children with developmental delays, individuals with substance use disorders, homeless and at-risk individuals, at-risk youth, and children of incarcerated parents).
