Call716-821-0391 x324 WebsiteVisit Website

Fifteen-bed residential addiction treatment program for ages 18–26 that connects recovery with preparation for independent adulthood. Clients are actively involved in identifying their needs and developing treatment plans. Programming combines addiction counseling with education, vocational support, daily living skills, and recreation. After residential treatment, clients may enter a reintegration program, a substance-free transitional living environment where young adults take on household responsibilities and gradually reconnect with school, work, outpatient services, and community life. Accepts most insurance plans, Medicaid, and Medicare with sliding-scale fees available.

What to expect

Developing your care plan

  • Comprehensive assessment: Clinicians use an initial assessment to determine the appropriate level of care for each client. Young adults are actively involved in identifying their own needs and developing their own treatment plans.
  • Treatment for substance use and more: Treatment focuses on substance use as well as other mental health needs. Medication management, family relationships, and sober support are integrated into care. There's also a strong focus on education, vocation, physical health, and daily living skills to help clients prepare for life after residential treatment.
  • A combination of approaches: Clients participate in individual, group, and family counseling along with specialized recovery and skills-based groups. Evidence-based approaches are used with other techniques, such as art therapy, therapeutic recreation, and mindfulness.

Who you will meet with

  • Clinical staff: Counselors lead individual and group therapy sessions and specialized recovery and skills groups.
  • Medical team: A full-time medical team includes physicians, registered nurses, and licensed practical nurses.
  • Case managers: These professionals help plan treatment and may connect clients with outside support when needed.
  • Teachers: Certified New York State teachers provide direct education, GED preparation, and related support.
  • Other therapeutic staff: Other trained therapeutic staff provide art therapy and therapeutic recreation.

Typical schedule

  • Clinical treatment, routines, and skill building: Clients move between various groups during the day, including counseling and life-skills activities. Art therapy is also integrated into treatment as a nonverbal way for clients to work through their experiences.
  • Recreation: Recreation time focuses on using physical education, exercise, and group activities as a way to work on sportsmanship and communication skills.
  • Education: Young adults can also continue or resume schooling during treatment. They participate in educational and vocational programming, including GED preparation, to work toward school and employment goals.

Living experiences and amenities

  • A safe, structured treatment environment: The 15-bed residential program supports young adults working toward developmental goals while receiving substance use treatment with a small group of peers.
  • Movement and recreation: Physical education, exercise, and group activities encourage healthy habits while supporting sportsmanship and team building.
  • Family connections: Families stay connected to young adults during treatment. Joint family therapy can help reopen communication and help young people and their families establish healthier relationships. Family counseling is available to address how addiction has affected the home environment and to help families make changes to support recovery.

Aftercare

  • Reintegration: Young adults who have finished residential treatment but may face higher risks of relapse if they return home immediately may transition into the organization's reintegration support. This program provides case management in a substance-free community living environment with peer support and a focus on increasing independence and decision-making. Clients have household responsibilities, make more independent decisions, and can participate in school, vocational programming, outpatient treatment, and other community services. Drug screenings and breathalyzer testing are a part of the reintegration model.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
