Hope House Inc. – Bette Center

Hope House is an addiction treatment center in New York. They work out of many locations, including the Bette Center in Albany. Here, they offer transitional housing for teenage and adult males.

This program helps clients learn the life skills they need to successfully reintegrate back into society. By the time you reach this stage, you may have already completed another type of inpatient or outpatient treatment to address the root of your substance abuse and restore your physical and mental health. During your time here, you’ll receive comprehensive case management and group therapy services to support your progress.

To help you learn accountability and responsibility, they’ll connect you with local providers who can help you reconnect with your community. These resources can help you find a job, continue your education, care for your medical needs or continue your outpatient therapy. They’ll also link you to sober support networks so you can maintain your sobriety once you’re living on your own. While you’re enrolled here, you’ll participate in an outpatient program that may include individual and group counseling with other guys, job training, psychiatric care and medication assisted treatment.

Something I like about this facility is that they encourage recreational play as much as clinical therapy. There’s an on site rec room and a large basketball court in the backyard. They take a person centered approach to recovery and will help you transition safely into independent living.
