About this Recovery House
Outreach's Recovery Residence for Women (Crooked Hill Road) is a women's recovery residence in Brentwood, New York, in Suffolk County. It holds 25 beds at 400 Crooked Hill Road and is certified under Part 820 by the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports.
Twenty-Five Beds in a Women's Recovery Home
Every resident here is a woman, and the program is built around that. Group work, house structure and clinical programming are written for one population, which allows the treatment to address the things that drive women's substance use and the things that most often end their recovery attempts. Twenty-five beds gives a resident a peer group large enough to matter and small enough that staff know her circumstances.
Gender-Responsive Treatment Inside the Residence
The residence delivers enhanced gender-responsive outpatient treatment for women within a trauma-informed framework. Programming covers psychiatric evaluation and mental health monitoring, anger management, life skills, relapse prevention, domestic violence counseling, recovery planning, family counseling, health education and vocational assessment. Participation in an outpatient program is a condition of living here, and Outreach provides transportation between the residence and its Brentwood outpatient site.
What OASAS Certification Establishes for a Recovery Residence
Part 820 is the New York regulation covering residential addiction services, and certification under it commits a program to state standards on clinical staffing, resident rights, medication practice, documentation and inspection. Recovery housing in this state is not required to be certified, so the credential separates programs that accepted state oversight from those that did not. What the different New York credentials cover is explained in this overview of sober house certification in New York.
A Women's Sober Living Program on a Shared Campus
The Crooked Hill Road campus in Brentwood also holds Outreach's adolescent residential program and its young adult residence, in separate buildings. Women applying should be clear that the referral names this program, because the certifications, capacities and admission criteria are distinct. The upside of the shared campus is practical: clinical staff, vocational resources and intake all sit in one place.
Recovery Housing for Women Across Suffolk County
Suffolk County stretches from the Nassau line to Montauk, and women's residential capacity in it is limited. Brentwood sits near the center of the island in the Town of Islip, with the Long Island Expressway and the Long Island Rail Road Ronkonkoma Branch nearby, so referrals arrive from across the county and from Nassau. Riverhead, the county seat, holds the courts and county offices, and a Brentwood address keeps those obligations within a manageable trip for a woman without a car.
