The Gables

Women’s Residential Treatment in a Historic Setting

The Gables provides residential treatment for adults who identify as female, offering high- and medium-intensity care. Located in Rochester’s Gray Gables Mansion, the facility blends a century-old setting with modern, medically monitored support that includes on-site nursing support and 24/7 staff supervision.

Trauma-Focused Therapies and Dual Diagnosis Support

Programming incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (SBT), motivational interviewing, and twelve-step facilitation, alongside specialized trauma therapies such as prolonged exposure and trauma skills groups. Designed for women with both substance use and mental health disorders, care helps build stability by addressing interconnected challenges.

Inclusive and Recovery-Friendly Approach

The Gables is LGBTQ+ welcoming and supports individuals using medications for addiction treatment (MAT). Programming is trauma-informed and adaptive, offering a safe space where women can focus on their recovery needs and long-term healing goals.

Community Connections and Lifelong Supports

Part of the NUWAY Alliance, The Gables extends recovery support beyond residential treatment. Clients benefit from aftercare planning, housing and social-service assistance, peer mentoring, vocational counseling, life skills workshops, and transportation help. These connections strengthen recovery foundations and provide real-life tools for lasting stability.
