About Charles Street Residence – Cortland
Charles Street Residence is a halfway house with 14 beds in Cortland, New York. They’re part of Catholic Charities of Cortland County, offering addiction treatment and recovery support services. It supports men and women with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions as they move from inpatient care toward independent, community-based living. Residents participate in personalized recovery planning, outpatient treatment, and if needed, mental health treatment.
All residents have access to various services that support their recovery. The Wishing Wellness Center is a welcoming place to connect with others who understand what you’re going through. The Peer Engagement Program helps you tap into community resources and support. Many residents look forward to the Recovery Apartment Program, which offers a chance to transition to independent living while still having support as they progress in treatment.
There’s a monthly program fee. Residents have several options for covering it! You might use Social Security benefits, private income, or financial assistance. Though admission doesn’t depend on the ability to pay, residents are encouraged to check for any benefits they’re eligible for to help cover the cost of care. A sliding fee scale is available to keep things more manageable.
Your stay will run 6-12 months. There will be occasional drug tests to make sure you’re staying off alcohol and drugs.
The focus here is on helping you access support that fits your needs. Residential Advisors are there to help you create a personalized recovery plan. They’ll help you identify your goals and any triggers that could lead to substance use. Your advisors will also help you connect with resources to build your recovery support network.
Catholic Charities is dedicated to looking after every part of you. They treat the mind, body, and spirit. If your program requires addiction treatment, they have several evidence-based approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI).
CBT helps you recognize and change negative thought patterns, making it easier to cope with challenges. Many find it helps them manage emotions. MI encourages you to explore what motivates you to change. Both are supportive approaches that can help recovery feel more achievable.
Residents appreciate the warm and supportive environment at Charles Street Residence. It’s a great choice for people in transition from intensive treatment into sober living.
