<p><strong>ABOUT CAZENOVIA RECOVERY SYSTEMS - UNITY HOUSE</strong></p> <p>Cazenovia is a <strong>private nonprofit</strong> that provides residential services at a variety of locations in New York State for individuals who are struggling with problematic substance use and/or mental health disorders, and are <strong>at risk of homelessness.</strong> In addition to treatment services, the agency provides housing with varying levels of support, from intensive residential units to transitional housing.</p> <p>Located on a residential street between the Kingsley and Emerson neighborhoods of eastern Buffalo, Unity House is a <strong>community residence for men aged 18+</strong> who are in recovery from substance use disorder and are homeless or at risk for homelessness, according to HUD guidelines. Under Cazenovia's definition, a "community residence program" offers highly structured care while allowing residents to hold a job. Treatment is <strong>slightly more intensive than a traditional transitional-living facility.</strong></p> <p>Other Cazenovia facilities include <a href="https://www.rehabs.com/listings/cazenovia-recovery-systems-casa-di-vita-4182018225/" target="_blank">Casa di Vita</a>, a women's community residence in Buffalo, and <a href="https://www.rehabs.com/listings/cazenovia-recovery-systems-turning-point-house-2245509157/" target="_blank">Turning Point House</a> in Eden, south of Buffalo, which provides intensive residential treatment for men.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Like all of Cazenovia's programs, Unity House provides <strong>trauma-informed care.</strong> At this facility, that care is provided in the context of both individual and group therapy. Self-help meetings are held on-site, but Cazenovia does not at present indicate whether these follow the 12-step program or another recovery program. In addition to providing <strong>therapy, case management, on-site substance use counseling, and self-help meetings,</strong> Unity House aims to prepare its residents for life after treatment, via training in daily living skills, <strong>vocational services,</strong> and referrals to employment readiness programs. Residents are also encouraged to establish and maintain healthy relationships with their families and friends. Unity House can accommodate men struggling with <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring mental health disorders</a>, however, treatment for these disorders consists of referrals to off-site providers.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided by the facility regarding its treatment staff.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Up to 24 men at a time sleep in semi-private rooms, in a comfortable if somewhat dated facility with a back deck, an exercise room, and a common area with a TV.</p> <p><strong>REVIEWS</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com has not yet received any reviews from this facility’s alumni, affiliated friends or family members, or staff; however, <strong>secondary sites did yield some feedback, and it was mostly positive:</strong> a single rating on Google, giving four stars for Unity House, and on Facebook, a 4.2-star average rating based on 29 reviews for Cazenovia Recovery Systems as a whole.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> "This is NOT a pain control clinic," J.G. wrote on Facebook in the only comment about Unity House. The Facebook commentary was mostly from Cazenovia employees, who <strong>repeatedly stressed that it was a great organization to work for.</strong> "This is a great company to work for. They help many people and keep there staff trained to be able to deal with a variety of people," C.S.D. wrote in a representative review.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Cazenovia accepts health insurance, private pay, Supplemental Security Income, Social Security Disability, and Department of Social Services payments. </p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/QQcmvJ" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/QQcmvJ</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/CazenoviaRecovery/reviews/?ref=page_internal" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/CazenoviaRecovery/reviews/?ref=page_internal</a></small></p>
