Fairview Recovery Services

About Fairview Recovery Services

Fairview Recovery Services is a sober living operator in Binghamton, New York, providing certified recovery housing across Broome County and the Southern Tier. It runs congregate residences, a scattered-site apartment program and an addiction stabilization center, all within the city.

A Southern Tier Recovery Housing Provider

Everything this organization operates sits in one city, and concentration is the strength of it. A resident who moves between programs keeps the same case manager network, the same bus routes, the same court and the same clinical providers. In a region where the next comparable set of services is an hour away in Syracuse or over the Pennsylvania line, an operator running a full continuum inside Binghamton means a person never has to leave the Southern Tier to move up or down a level of care.

Where the Recovery Homes Are

The certified addresses in Binghamton are:

• 5 Merrick Street, holding residential reintegration for men with 24 beds, residential reintegration for women with 18 beds, and the administration of a 45-bed scattered-site program.
• 247 Court Street, a 20-bed residential program downtown.
• 8 Clapham Street, the New Outlook residence with 18 beds.

An addiction stabilization center operates in the city as well, and its address is not published. The scattered-site reintegration program places residents in independent apartments across the community instead of at a single address.

Men's and Women's Sober Houses in the Same Organization

The reintegration programs are single-gender and run as separate households at the Merrick Street site, 24 beds for men and 18 for women. Both admit adults 18 and older, including cisgender, transgender and non-binary individuals who identify with the respective community, which is an explicit position that most recovery housing operators leave unstated and therefore unreliable. Support in both is trauma-informed and identity-affirming.

A Full Continuum of Recovery Housing Under One Operator

The programs form a sequence. Stabilization handles acute withdrawal over an average of about 28 days. Congregate reintegration supplies supervised dormitory-style housing with case management, counseling, peer meetings and life skills work. Scattered-site apartments test independent living with staff visiting instead of supervising. Someone entering at the top can move through all three without leaving the organization or repeating an intake, which is the single most useful thing a multi-program operator offers.

Certification Across These New York Recovery Homes

The residential programs are certified under Part 820 by the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports, and the scattered-site program is funded through the same agency. Certification is issued program by program, so anyone comparing options should confirm what the specific program they are entering holds. New York requires no certification of recovery housing at all, which makes a state-certified portfolio a deliberate choice about oversight. The process a provider goes through is set out in this OASAS certification guide.

How Referrals Reach This Recovery Housing Provider

Referrals go to the organization's admissions coordinator and arrive from inpatient and outpatient providers, parole, probation, family court, drug court, the Department of Social Services, Child Protective Services and other community systems of care. The stabilization center also accepts self-referrals, which is the shortest route in for someone acting on a decision they may not hold for long. Questions worth asking at the operator level include how quickly a bed can be arranged, how transfers between levels are handled, and what the discharge plan points at when the scattered-site phase ends.
