The Straight & Narrow (S&N) project involves the new construction of a 54,000 square foot substance abuse rehabilitation center in Paterson, NJ with a total development cost of $32.9 million. The construction will allow S&N, the oldest community-based rehabilitation center in the United States, to consolidate operations, expand capacity, and return to its original site following a devastating 2019 electrical fire. S&N’s new facility will include an outpatient rehabilitation/ detoxification center, a 50-bed halfway house, and a commercial kitchen to serve meals to halfway house residents and S&N program participants at other sites. Straight & Narrow, a subsidiary of Catholic Charities- Diocese of Paterson, was founded in 1954 as a rehabilitation center for men facing alcoholism. Since its founding, S&N has expanded its patient base to all patients regardless of gender, residency status, religion, or ability to pay. The organization has also expanded its service offerings and has been a critical provider of support for low-income persons impacted by the Opioid Crisis.
