About Trapping Brook House – Wellsville
ACASA – Trapping Brook House is a 17-bed halfway house to help men in the early stages of substance use recovery. It’s located in Wellsville, New York.
Trapping Brook House aims to help residents transition to living on their own successfully without substance use. They focus on responsible living and personal growth. Trapping Brook House offers a structured environment, guidance and encouragement.
To register in ACASA’s Trapping Brook House, you’ll need to get a referral from a medical professional. There’s a six-page form you’ll need to fill out and get signed by the person who is giving you a referral.
During your stay, you’ll work on creating long and short term goals as part of your recovery plan. You’ll have counseling as well as weekly therapy groups, self-help groups and resident house meetings.
Each resident must help with daily chores and house upkeep. Chores will rotate biweekly and are assigned by the housekeeper.
Visitor passes for family and friends are available to residents as they progress in their recovery. No visits are allowed during the first 10 days. Afterwards, visits are allowed on weekends and must be approved by the house manager.
I like that Trapping Brook House has so much information on their website including the full house rules, application form and more. This way, if you’re considering becoming a resident, you know exactly what to expect.
