About this Recovery House
La Casita III is a women's sober house in the Bronx, New York, in Bronx County, on East 151st Street in the South Bronx. Twenty-one certified beds make it one of the smaller residential addiction programs in the borough, and it is licensed by the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports under Part 820. Acacia Network lists it among its residential treatment programs for women.
A Small Women's Recovery Home in the South Bronx
Twenty-one beds changes the texture of a place. Staff know every resident, house dynamics are visible before they harden, and a woman who goes quiet for two days gets noticed. Some people need the anonymity of a large program to settle in. Others do far better where the whole house fits around a few tables, and for them the size of La Casita III is the reason to choose it over a seventy-bed residence a mile away.
Who This Bronx Sober Living Program Serves
Admission is limited to adult women. Acacia Network's women's residential programs accept pregnant women, mothers parenting young children, mothers working toward reunification, and women who are not parenting, along with women who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Stays typically run six to twelve months. Services across the women's programs include individual and group counseling, mental health care, referrals to primary care and to medication-assisted treatment, vocational and educational support, and benefits enrollment.
What Part 820 Licensure Means for a Recovery Residence
New York does not require sober homes to be certified. It does license residential treatment, and a Part 820 license means the state agency responsible for addiction services inspects this program, regulates its staffing and reviews how it admits, treats and discharges people. Anyone weighing a New York residence should understand which credential they are looking at, because the two systems answer different questions and are explained in a guide to sober house certification in New York.
East 151st Street and Bronx County Recovery Housing
East 151st Street sits in the Longwood and Mott Haven section of the South Bronx, a short walk from the 2 and 5 lines and a few minutes from the Bronx County Hall of Justice and the borough's civic center on the Grand Concourse. Bronx County concentrates its health centers, methadone clinics and social service offices in this same southern wedge. A resident here can hold a court date, a clinic appointment and a benefits interview inside a single afternoon.
One Program Among Many Acacia Network Recovery Homes
La Casita III is one of several women's residences Acacia Network runs across New York City, alongside programs in Brooklyn and in East Harlem and separate residences for men and for adolescents. A woman whose needs change during a stay, because a child comes into her care or because she is ready for a lighter setting, is having that conversation with an organization that has somewhere to move her.
