Caz Recovery Cazenovia Manor Buffalo

Cazenovia Manor runs a community-style residential program for adult men who have substance use disorders and related mental health conditions. Set on Buffalo's south side, the program combines intensive rehabilitation with transitional help, including vocational counseling. It serves adult men whose drug or alcohol use comes with unstable housing or the risk of becoming homeless.

Each man's treatment is planned individually, setting personal recovery goals and identifying the right level of care. Stays typically last from a few weeks to several months or longer, depending on the plan. Alongside intensive substance use treatment, men may join individual and family therapy and receive trauma-informed support for the whole person. Daily life skills training, case management, and relapse prevention planning are part of the program, with an emphasis on self-sufficiency and self-help.

The program is certified by the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports and supervised by the Erie County Department of Mental Health. Eligible individuals are men 18 and older who need intensive substance use treatment and are enrolled in a Medicaid Managed Care plan.
