The John L. Norris Addiction Treatment Center in Rochester, New York, is a state operated mental health care and addiction recovery facility. They offer high intensity inpatient treatment, including medical detox, for adults. Sliding scale payment schedules are available and no county resident will be turned away due to an inability to pay.

They specialize in patient stabilization and assisting people who may require a higher level of care that includes round the clock clinical supervision. Specialized programs are available for families and persons with hearing impairments.

They offer individualized care that’s focused on community reintegration and relapse prevention. Life and coping skills training are also included.

I like that their programs also connect clients to other resources in the area, like vocational training. They help people experiencing homelessness to transform their lives while addressing mental health concerns.

Certain conditions must be met before clients are eligible for admission. A patient at their residential facility must have no other suitable living option for recovery and must be diagnosed with a mental health condition or addiction disorder that requires 24 hour clinical supervision.
