In collaboration with the Alcohol & Drug Council of Tompkins County and HOLT Architects, Welliver provided general contractor services for the construction of a new state-of-the-art treatment center offering an open access 40-bed medically supervised withdrawal (detox) and stabilization program. Filling a critical gap in addiction treatment in the area, the facility provides 24/7 access to care for people struggling with addiction and substance abuse in the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions.
Housing up to 40 patients, the Center offers counseling, medication-assisted treatment, and other rehabilitative services to help people transition out of drug addiction. Construction of the 20,000 square foot facility involved a complete gut of the interior of the existing building which was previously used as an office building. The new facility provides a much larger footprint of office space for the staff, counseling and meeting rooms, a commercial kitchen and café area, gym, and laundry service. The second floor is dedicated to patient rooms for in-house care, the largest in the area.

The project received capital funding from the New York State Department of Health Statewide Healthcare Facility Transformation program and the NYS Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services Rapid Expansion program. The Alcohol & Drug Council of Tompkins County is a private, non-profit agency which provides information, education, counseling, and referral services for area residents and organizations.
