 Community Residence Programs [ More Services] 
The Catholic Charities Community Residence Programs consist of two locations: The MICA program is a nine bed facility the Washington Street residence is an eleven bed facility; both are 24 hour OMH licensed, supervised community residences. These congregate care settings are designed to provide a structured and supportive environment for individuals who are currently unable to maintain themselves independently due to complications managing mental illness; the MICA house specializes in dual recovery including mental health and substance use. These rehabilitative programs are designed to provide individuals with services provisioned to encourage and develop the skills necessary to manage their issues so that they can be successful and satisfied in the environments of their choice, with the least amount of ongoing professional intervention necessary. These programs serve adults 18 or older with Axis I diagnosis of serious, persistent mental illness and for MICA a second diagnosis of substance use issues. These persons may be homeless, facing legal problems or have borderline intellectual functioning. Services typically include substance abuse services, symptom management, medication management and training, health services, skill development, socialization, community integration and assertiveness training. The CR staff upholds the ideal of unconditional positive regard when working with the individual. These programs are dedicated to providing quality services which are tailored to assist the individual in reaching their fullest potential. The staff realizes the varying needs of the individual and is committed to aiding the individual to develop the skills necessary to reach their personal goals. Referrals to the CR programs come through SPOA. For more information on the program or how to make or receive a referral please contact us at 762-8313.
