Recovery Apartment Program
Our Recovery Apartment Program has a unique blend of structure and independence. Residents are provided with necessary supports as they transition toward independent, sober living.
The Recovery Apartment Program, with a capacity of 9, is certified by the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS). The program provides an experience that is more independent than our halfway house while still providing significant support. Residents in this program live in independent apartments in the City of Cortland, which are typically shared with another program participant.
Participation
Residents and Residential Advisors work together to identify needs and establish goals for achieving an independent lifestyle with a focus on educational and vocational pursuits.
Length of Stay
The average length of stay in this program is 6-12 months, but actual time in the program will be dependent on the individual and their needs.
Program Expectations
We expect residents to engage and participate in recovery planning; maintain a positive living environment; and refrain from using alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs not prescribed to them by a health care practitioner. Residents are expected to be courteous and respectful of one another at all times.
