About this Recovery House
Fairview Men's is a men's recovery residence in Binghamton, New York, in Broome County, operated by Fairview Recovery Services. It holds 24 certified beds on Merrick Street under Part 820 certification from the state addiction agency.
Twenty-Four Men in a Certified Recovery Home
The program serves men only, and the single-gender structure is the organizing fact. Sleeping quarters, house meetings and group work are one population, and the same expectations apply to everyone in the building. Twenty-four beds is large enough to sustain a real peer group, where a man arriving in week one is living alongside others who are three and six months further along and can say what the next stretch actually feels like.
The Merrick Street Recovery Housing Site
Merrick Street is on Binghamton's east side, in the 13904 ZIP code across the Chenango River from downtown. Fairview runs more than one certified program from the address, including women's residential reintegration and the administration of its scattered-site apartment program. Sites carrying multiple certified programs are ordinary in New York, and each one keeps its own capacity, criteria and certification. A referral should name the specific program, because eligibility differs between them.
What Part 820 Certification Establishes
Part 820 governs residential addiction services in New York. Certification under it sets requirements for clinical staffing, resident rights, medication policy, documentation and external inspection, and it gives residents a complaint path outside the house. Since New York does not require recovery housing to hold any certification, a credential here reflects a choice to work inside a state framework. What the different New York credentials cover is explained in this guide to New York sober house certification.
Men's Recovery Housing in the Southern Tier
Binghamton is the Broome County seat and the largest city in the Southern Tier. Broome County Court, probation, the district attorney and county social services all sit downtown, a short bus ride from the east side. Men referred out of inpatient treatment in Broome, Tioga and Chenango Counties, or released from county custody, land here because there is nowhere closer that combines a certified bed with the appointments the week requires.
Other Fairview Recovery Homes in Binghamton
The organization also runs New Outlook on Clapham Street, a downtown residence on Court Street with 20 beds, a residential reintegration program for women at the Merrick Street site, a scattered-site apartment program with 45 beds, and an addiction stabilization center for people in withdrawal. A man who needs a lighter level of structure after a congregate stay is talking to an operator that already runs one.
