ABOUT FAIRVIEW RECOVERY SERVICES ADDICTIONS CRISIS CENTER- BINGHAMTON, NY

Fairview Recovery Services Addictions Crisis Center, located in Binghamton, N.Y., offers a continuum of inpatient and outpatient treatment to adults struggling with substance abuse. Services are available to residents throughout Broome County. Many of the services offered by the organization are offered free of charge to the client with funding provided by donations and state funding/grants.

The program has grown to now operate seven separate locations on a budget of $2.5 million.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

The facility’s treatment program follows a holistic model. The Addiction Crisis Center is an 18 bed co-ed residential center offering medically monitored withdrawal services. Room and board is offered in a secure and structured environment. The average length of stay is anywhere from one to 14 days. Clients must be referred for treatment by themselves, family, friends, or other drug/alcohol treatment providers. During their stay, clients receive an assessment to determine appropriate treatment through individual and group counseling sessions.

Fairview also has other rehab services including the Community Residence & Merrick Community Residence which are each 36 bed coed facilities for clients in the early stages of recovery. Clients at the residences stay for an average of three to six months. During treatment, participants attend Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings along with group and individual counseling, case management, and relapse prevention/intervention. Gender-specific programming is offered and clients may participate in recreational activities during their stay.

Supportive Living houses are available for men and women separately. The men’s facility offers 30 beds to men over 18 years of age, many who are formerly homeless, and who have completed residential treatment. The housing is apartment-based. Clients receive case management and attend support groups. The women’s facility offers 11 beds and children are welcome to stay with their mothers. In addition to the programming incorporated with the men’s group, women also have the option of receiving parenting training.

Fairview operates several other group home, apartment style residences for individuals who were formerly homeless and have a history of substance abuse. These housing projects offer long term rent subsidy and a history of substance abuse.
