Cayuga Addiction Recovery Services Residential Services Unit is an intensive residential chemical dependency treatment program just north of Ithaca, NY. 

 

CARS RSU is a 60-bed, co-ed program of six to nine months in range for successful completion. Clients attend treatment for over 50 hours each week, including weekly individual counseling.

 

Our treatment philosophy is based on research based best practices around the core philosophy of the Matrix Model.  RSU clients participate in seven Matrix groups each week, Early Recovery, Relapse Prevention, Social Supports and Family Education.  Clients  are encouraged to understand and use thought-stopping, mooring lines and concepts related to cognitive behavioral therapy.
