A unique treatment center for young adults battling addictions is set to open Wednesday in TriBeCa. NY1's Rebecca Spitz filed the following report.

There's an oasis in the middle of the bustling city: The first supportive housing facility for college students battling addictions. It's run by the highly regarded Hazelden Foundation, in affiliation with Columbia Psychiatry.

"Hazelden's TriBeCa 12 is a bridge between the early treatment process, the early recovery process and what happens on the back side of that which is the rest of life and if you're a young person, that's a good reason to find sobriety," said Hazelden Vice President of Public Affairs William Moyers.

TriBeCa 12 will serve college-bound, undergraduate or graduate students in a newly renovated six-story building, helping them make their way back into society. It can accommodate 30 residents, male and female.

"A lot of young adults who struggle with addiction are often transitioning from an inpatient or a residential setting and that transition can be really rough for them, particularly if they're transitioning to a lower level of treatment and they don't have a supportive recovery living environment," said Hazelden New York Executive Director Barbara Kistenmacher.

Kistenmacher says when residents arrive they meet with a coach to create an individualized recovery plan. Some components are mandatory, like monthly dinners with their sponsors, weekly dinners with their floormates, and 12 step meetings on site but the rest is up to the resident.

Creators say TriBeCa 12 is designed to help young adults recover while dealing with the complexities of everyday life.

"I always saw my addiction as something that needed to be fixed, I never realized that recovery's a lifelong process. And for young people particularly, that process includes going back to school and integrating into the community. You can't live in a bubble, you have to live in the real world," Moyers said.

Residents have to make a minimum 90-day commitment to stay in TriBeCa 12 and pay between $5,000 and $5,500 per month.

TriBeCa 12 says it is in the process of accepting applications.

Residents who have already been selected are expected to move in later this month.
