Hughes Storefront
Hughes House offers services to adults with histories of psychiatric illnesses and/or co-occurring psychiatric and
addictive disorders. Hughes House is funded by the New York State Office of Mental Health and offers
services that contain elements of treatment, rehabilitation, vocational training, general support, and self-help.
Efforts are made to incorporate the principles of Wellness Self Management (WSM) into the service menu.
In the WSM model, psychiatric, physical wellness and recovery are paramount. The goal of the program is
to treat the whole individual and to aid in total rehabilitation that would lead to gainful employment and independent
housing.
