The Bette Center is a 35 bed long term intensive treatment program located in Albany, New York. The facility is dedicated to the treatment of both men and women whose lives have become dysfunctional due to their use of drugs and alcohol.
Goals of Treatment
At Hope House, we subscribe to a basic philosophy that can be understood by understanding our seven basic goals of treatment.
- To learn new skills in order to live a drug-free life.
- To learn about the disease concept of addiction.
- To identify and express feelings without the use of substances.
- To identify relapse triggers.
- To obtain educational and vocational skills in order to be self-supporting.
- To develop appropriate leisure time activities, maintaining sobriety and abstinence.
- To improve self-esteem.
Once these goals are embraced as personal objectives, the support, education and follow through of Hope House’s Residential Programs begin to take root.
Professional Treatment Services
At the Bette Center we care for the individual and help them to establish healthy relationships with family, friends and peers. An emphasis is placed on vocations so graduates have the necessary skills to obtain employment upon completing the program.
The goal is to help clients become substance free and independent.
