About Catholic Charities
Catholic Charities of Cortland County runs the Charles Street Residence in Cortland, New York, providing supportive housing for adults who are working to recover from substance use disorders. This supervised transitional program helps residents move from structured treatment toward independent living in the community. The residence supports up to 14 people and offers a secure, respectful setting focused on recovery.
Each resident works with a residential advisor to create an individualized plan for treatment and progress. Residents are expected to remain abstinent from alcohol and any non-prescribed substances, participate actively in their treatment, and maintain a cooperative, respectful living environment with others. Stays typically last from 6 to 12 months, though the length of residency may be adjusted according to each person’s circumstances.
In addition to the Charles Street Residence, Catholic Charities provides other support services throughout Cortland and nearby counties, such as care coordination, peer support, and emergency assistance. These options are designed to help individuals continue building on their progress after leaving the program. The organization remains committed to long-term recovery by encouraging growth, stability, and dignity through compassionate, respectful care.
