About Unity Hospital of Rochester
Rooted in service to the community, Rochester Regional Health offers an integrated approach to mental health and substance use disorders (SUD), combining inpatient, outpatient, and community-based programs. Their range of care includes psychiatric services, treatment for chemical dependency, school-linked youth programming, and crisis stabilization available around the clock. Patients benefit from hospital-level support as well as adaptable outpatient options, with recovery plans shaped to meet the needs of adults, teens, and families.
The treatment team relies on evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-informed care, and motivational interviewing (MI). For substance use disorders, they offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT), outpatient detox, and inpatient rehabilitation. The approach is designed around the individual, encouraging family involvement, peer support, and thoughtful recovery planning. Specialized services, including LGBTQ+ affirming care and targeted adolescent programs, help broaden access and support long-term stability for people from many backgrounds.
Their inpatient rehabilitation units create a secure, structured setting where clients receive therapy, medication management, and supervised recreational activities to reinforce coping skills and recovery. Rooms are shared, and typical stays last about two to four weeks, depending on clinical needs. Throughout treatment, individuals take part in goal setting, education, and discharge planning to support progress after leaving the program. With a focus on safety, respect, and inclusivity, the center offers a therapeutic environment that helps each person work toward lasting, meaningful change.
