About this Recovery House
In the Bronx, New York, the BASICS Adult Male Residential Program (Franklin House) is a men's recovery residence in Bronx County, on Franklin Avenue in Morrisania. Acacia Network operates it as one of two adult men's residential substance use treatment programs it publishes, and the program is fully licensed by the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports.
A Men's Recovery Home on Franklin Avenue
Every resident is an adult man in treatment for a substance use disorder. Single-gender housing removes a whole category of complication from a residential program, and it means house groups, sleeping arrangements and common space are organized around one population. Men arriving from detox, from jail or from the street are entering a household where the expectations are the same for everyone.
Services Included in This Bronx Sober Living Program
Acacia Network publishes a consistent service set across its adult men's residences: individual and group counseling, mental health services, referrals to primary care, referrals for medication-assisted treatment, aftercare referrals, educational and vocational services, and benefits enrollment. Those last three carry the weight. A man leaving residential treatment with a Medicaid card, an identification document and a vocational referral is in a different position from a man leaving with a discharge summary and nothing else.
Culturally Responsive Recovery Housing in the South Bronx
Acacia Network describes its addiction programs as integrated, culturally responsive and trauma-informed, and it is one of the largest Hispanic-led nonprofits in New York State. In a borough where a substantial share of residents speak Spanish at home, the ability to run a group, take an intake and hold a family meeting in Spanish decides whether treatment is comprehensible. It is one of the few program characteristics a caller can test in the first minute.
Morrisania Recovery Housing and Bronx County Services
Franklin Avenue in Morrisania sits in the west-central Bronx, close to the Grand Concourse, the 2 and 5 lines and the borough's largest hospitals. Bronx County holds a dense concentration of community health centers, opioid treatment programs and behavioral health clinics, along with the Bronx County Hall of Justice to the south. A resident here is inside the service network instead of commuting to it, and that is the practical case for recovery housing in the borough where a person's obligations already sit.
How This Recovery Residence Connects to the Wider Network
Acacia Network reaches more than 150,000 people annually across health, housing, education and cultural programs, with more than 2,700 employees and over 100 affiliates and related entities. For a resident, the size means that a step down to outpatient care, a primary care appointment or a housing referral usually stays inside one organization. Admissions run through the network's behavioral health intake.
