date
February 5, 2025
February 4th, 2025, Rochester, N.Y. – Villa of Hope is proud to announce a significant expansion of its behavioral health and substance use treatment services, with our Living Hope Treatment Center, our LIFE House Program, and our Steven Center for Behavioral Health!
Expanded Services in Detail
  1. The Gregory E. Polisseni Living Hope Treatment Center now provides two levels of care within a single facility:
  • Medically Supervised Detoxification – A crucial first step in recovery, ensuring individuals safely manage withdrawal with 24/7 medical supervision. A safer, more effective recovery.
  • New! Inpatient Rehabilitation – A structured, supportive program designed to help individuals in danger of severe withdrawal and offering access to 24-hour medical support.
  1. Villa of Hope is also celebrating the grand reopening of our Living in Freedom Early (LIFE House) Program, a residential treatment program serving individuals with substance use disorders. In partnership with NYS OASAS and the Monroe County Office of Mental Health, the Villa’s LIFE House program has been redesigned and will specialize in serving transition aged young adults.
This reopening will occur in two phases, starting with ages 18-21 and later expanding to 18-25. The goal of the program is to equip individuals with the essential tools and support to sustain long-term sobriety and independence.
  1. And finally, the Steven Center for Behavioral Health has expanded its services to include outpatient substance use disorder treatment featuring Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). This proven approach integrates medication, counseling, and behavioral therapy to support individuals on their recovery journey.
 “Villa of Hope continues to evolve and expand our behavioral health services as our community needs evolve and expand. This is all part of our organization’s broader evolution away from our history as an orphanage and juvenile justice residential provider and into our present and future in all types of behavioral health services for all ages – children, teens, and adults.”
--Carrie Carl, Villa of Hope President and CEO
These updates mark a new chapter in Villa of Hope’s mission to deliver a continuum of comprehensive, accessible, and integrated care to those in need, all on the Dewey Avenue campus.
