Charles Street Residence
Our supervised community residence serves those with substance use disorders, including those with co-occurring mental health concerns. The residence serves as a support for those transitioning toward independent community living from higher levels of care.
The Charles Street Residence, with a capacity of 14, is certified by the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS). The residence provides a home-like environment.

Length of stay is determined on an individual basis. Although this varies, a typical stay is 6-12 months.

Residents must be willing and able to live in a group setting and are expected to be courteous and respectful of one another.
