About this Recovery House
Barrington RRi is a recovery residence in Rochester, New York, in Monroe County, operated by Catholic Charities Family and Community Services. The program holds 23 beds at an East Ridge Road site certified by the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports under Part 820.
A Twenty-Three-Bed Recovery Residence on East Ridge Road
East Ridge Road is one of the main east-west arterials across Rochester's north side, a commercial and residential corridor carrying steady bus service toward downtown and out toward Irondequoit. A residence on an arterial solves a specific problem for people in early recovery who do not own a car: work, groceries, appointments and meetings are all reachable on a route that runs all day. The 23 beds here are part of a larger site, and the operator runs a separate women's residence at the same address.
Residential Addiction Services Certified Under Part 820
The certification attached to this recovery housing program comes from OASAS under Part 820, the state regulation governing residential services for substance use disorder. It carries obligations around clinical staffing, resident rights, medication policy, incident reporting and inspection. New York separately allows recovery residences to seek voluntary certification through other routes, and the landscape of who certifies what is explained in this overview of New York sober house certification. For a prospective resident the practical takeaway is simple: this address operates inside a state framework, and there is a public record of it.
Two Recovery Homes Sharing One North Rochester Site
Barrington House, a women's addiction treatment community residence, occupies the same East Ridge Road site. Sharing a site is common in certified residential care, where a single building or campus holds programs serving different populations under separate certifications. Each program keeps its own admission criteria, its own capacity and its own house structure. Anyone applying should confirm which of the two programs the referral is actually pointed at, because the eligibility rules are not the same.
Recovery Housing in Monroe County's Largest City
Rochester is the county seat and the population center of Monroe County, and the north side sits between downtown and the Lake Ontario shoreline communities. Residents can reach Rochester General Hospital, the county's family court and probation offices, and a dense cluster of outpatient providers without leaving the city. The Finger Lakes region feeds people into Rochester for treatment and keeps them here through the housing phase, and Monroe County recovery housing is concentrated in exactly these corridors.

The operator maintains several other addresses in the area: Freedom House on Hobart Street, Liberty Manor on St. Paul Street, Alexander House on North Clinton Avenue, Jones House on Jones Avenue, and Hannick Hall in Newark, Wayne County. That spread means a bed can sometimes be found in a different neighborhood, or a different county, without starting a new application from scratch.
