The Treatment Center at the Ackerman Institute is at the hub of Institute activities. It is the main vehicle through which the Institute serves its community, as an educational, treatment and research center for families of all classes, racial/ethnic groups and affectional preferences with a broad spectrum of problems. Approximately 17,000 patient contacts are recorded each year for problems including school difficulties, adolescent troubles, marital issues, domestic violence, medical illness, substance abuse, stresses of life cycle changes, and bereavement.

The Treatment Center provides the setting within which the bulk of training activities occurs and is a laboratory for the development of innovative clinical treatment approaches that have placed the Ackerman Institute at the center of the family therapy field. Fees are based on a sliding scale and services are provided to families from the entire tri-state area. No family is ever denied services because of an inability to pay. Ackerman is an in network provider for Oxford, HIP, MetroPlus, and Health First.

The Treatment Center is licensed by the New York State Office of Mental Health.
