GATES, N.Y. — Monroe County will provide millions of dollars to keep a drug treatment center in Gates open around the clock for the next five years.
The 24/7 access to treatment at Delphi Rise in Gates was largely funded with federal dollars, grants that were established and awarded during the pandemic, but the Department of Health and Human Services cancelled those grants in 2025. At the time, Monroe County stepped up with $400,000 in opioid settlement money to keep the open access going but now, it’s making a bigger, more long-term commitment. On Wednesday, County Executive Adam Bello announced a $4.5 million dollar grant over the next 5 years, also funded by the opioid settlement money.
Delphi Rise treats men and women who need help with drug and alcohol addiction. Anthony Barron knows how crucial the services are firsthand as he’s in recovery himself, “the hardest part is coming through the door, trying to seek help because the pull out there that they have on you is even stronger than the will of wanting to get your life together,” he tells News10NBC.
Barron is a peer mentor at Delphi Rise, when someone walks in looking for help, he’s the first person they meet. “The thing I do now, is the same thing that helped me when I was going through what I was going through. Having someone to talk to that’s been through the same things I’ve been through,” Barron says.
“Say we only get two folks in one night, those are two people that needed the help that otherwise could have ended up dead or in jail or on the street so that 24/7 becomes critical because it’s more than numbers, these are human lives,” says Jennifer Cathy, the CEO of Delphi Rise.
That’s why County Executive Bello says he decided to use $4.5 million in opioid settlement money to fund the open access for the next five years. “This is exactly what the opioid settlement should do, it should be invested in real proven solutions that save lives, strengthens recovery and begins repairing the harm caused by the opioid epidemic,” Bello tells News10NBC.
Barron believes it’s the right thing to do because the last thing you want is to close the door on someone who is ready for help and tell them to come back in the morning. “You never know what could happen in their life in those seven hours when you’re out there dealing with addiction, it’s not safe, you’re not in the best places, you’re not in the best environments,” Barron says.
