About this Recovery House
Recovery Homes for Men, Amityville is a sober living program in Amityville, New York, in Suffolk County, operated by Seafield. The village sits in the Town of Babylon on the South Shore, and this housing is published as a village and gender grouping with no street address.
A Men's Sober House on the South Shore
Placement into a specific house runs through the operator, which does not publish the addresses of its recovery homes. The population is settled: men only. Amityville is an incorporated village at the southwestern corner of Suffolk County, on Great South Bay and directly against the Nassau County line. That position is useful for a man whose job, family or outpatient provider is in Nassau while his court obligations sit in Suffolk, because both are reachable from the same address.
Getting Around From an Amityville Recovery Home
The Long Island Rail Road's Babylon Branch stops in the village and runs west through Nassau County into Brooklyn and Manhattan, and Suffolk County Transit buses cover the Montauk Highway and Broadway corridors. Early recovery runs on the ability to get to a meeting, a shift and an appointment on the same day without a car. A South Shore village on a commuter rail line makes that arithmetic work in a way that inland hamlets often cannot.
What the Operator Expects of Residents
The conditions of residency are the same across every house in the network. Residents commit to their recovery, attend Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous meetings, and contribute to the well-being of the local community. Several homes accept residents on medication-assisted treatment, with naltrexone, buprenorphine and suboxone named specifically, and a man on any of those should confirm at intake that the house offered is one of them.
Suffolk County Recovery Housing and the Riverhead Connection
Riverhead is the Suffolk County seat, forty-odd miles east, and it holds the county courts, the county center and the offices most residents deal with. Suffolk is geographically enormous, and where a man is housed inside it determines how much of his week goes to travel. Amityville sits at the county's western edge, which puts New York City within a train ride and the county seat within a manageable drive, a combination few Suffolk addresses manage.
Ten Recovery Homes Across Long Island
Seafield operates ten recovery homes with 154 sober house beds in total, serving men, women and young men in separate houses. Men's housing sits in Amityville, Medford and Riverhead in Suffolk County and in Uniondale and Hempstead in Nassau County. The operator accepts referrals from treatment centers nationwide, describes its housing rates as affordable, and notes that individuals may be eligible for public assistance toward the cost of recovery housing. New York does not require recovery residences to be certified, and what the state's voluntary credentials cover is set out in this certification explainer.
