For 50 years, the Tempo Group/Tempo Youth, in Woodmere, has been treating people with addiction issues from across Nassau County. The nonprofit counseling center now has an office in the Bellmore-Merrick School District, which opened in 1995, and one in Syosset, which opened in 2007.

Tempo offers “Developed prevention, education, intervention and treatment programs in all areas related to substance abuse and family issues,” according to its website. The organization was incorporated in 1968.

A commemorative ribbon-cutting took place at the 112 Franklin Place office in Woodmere on April 17. State Sen. Todd Kaminsky and Town of Hempstead Town Clerk Sylvia Cabana presented Tempo with a proclamation and certificate, respectively.
