About this Recovery House
Release Recovery Westchester Men's Transitional Living is a men's sober living home in Purchase, New York, in Westchester County. Zac Clark founded Release Recovery in 2017, and the organization now keeps over 80 beds across New York and Texas. The Westchester men's house is the suburban half of its New York housing, set in the Town of Harrison about half an hour north of Manhattan.
A Men's Sober House in the Town of Harrison
Everyone living here is a man in early recovery, and that single restriction settles a great deal before anyone asks. Bathrooms, common space and house meetings are all single gender, and one set of expectations covers the household. Purchase itself is quiet, a hamlet of large lots, corporate campuses and two colleges, SUNY Purchase and Manhattanville University. The residence does not publish its street address, which is normal for sober living, and placement runs through Release Recovery.
What Transitional Living Adds to a Recovery Home
Transitional living is housing with expectations attached. A resident holds a stable address, lives alongside other men in recovery, and follows a house structure while clinical care happens somewhere else. Release Recovery runs its own outpatient programs in New York, delivering between 12 and 25 hours of structured support each week across partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and standard outpatient levels. A man can step down through those levels without changing where he sleeps, and that removes the most disruptive part of leaving treatment.
Licensing, Accreditation and This Sober Living Operator
Release Recovery Centers, the clinical side of the organization, is accredited by the Joint Commission and licensed by the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports. That license covers treatment. Recovery residence certification is a separate system, and in New York it is entirely voluntary: a house may seek Part 860 certification through OASAS, or certification through the New York State Alliance of Recovery Residences, or neither. A guide to sober house certification in New York explains how the two programs differ and what each one asks of a house.
Recovery Housing Between Westchester and Manhattan
White Plains is the seat of Westchester County and the center of gravity for anything official. The county courthouse, the health department and the largest concentration of outpatient providers in the lower Hudson Valley all sit there, and Westchester Medical Center is minutes away in Valhalla. Metro-North runs into Grand Central in roughly forty minutes. For a man who built a career in the city and got sober somewhere else, this part of Westchester keeps the job reachable while putting real distance between him and the routine he left.
Release Recovery Sober Homes in New York and Texas
Four transitional living residences carry the Release Recovery name in New York: this men's house and a women's house in Westchester, and men's and women's houses in New York City spread across the Flatiron, Greenwich Village and Upper East Side neighborhoods. A fifth site operates in Austin, Texas. A resident who needs a different setting after a few months is moving inside one organization, with one intake team and one set of expectations.
