Senior Behavioral Health and Recovery
Rypins House is a small, 6-bed transitional residential program designed specifically for behavioral health clients over 60.
With 24-hour support in a social rehab setting, the program addresses the unique recovery needs of older adults who often fall through the gaps of standard addiction treatment.
Care here blends approaches like CBT, DBT and behavior modification with addiction education, case management and psychosocial rehabilitation.
Daytime structure is available through the Rypins House Day Treatment for Seniors Program helping clients build coping skills and reconnect with community support.
Dual Diagnosis Support
The program serves seniors facing co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, including those with serious mental illness or PTSD.
Beyond clinical care, staff offer benefits enrollment, housing and transitional living support, chronic disease management and legal advocacy.
Specialty populations served include LGBTQ+ clients, veterans and people living with HIV/AIDS.
