The South Aiken CRR was opened in March of 1994 during an Agency expansion of five different programs.   South Aiken is a six-bed male facility, located in the Friendship area a “stones-throw” away from West Penn Hospital, focusing on mental illness and  successfully living in the community. 

 Upon completion of South Aiken, clients are encouraged to continue their success at Apartment CRRs, Supportive Housing, or independent living with maintained supports.  The overall goal of South Aiken is to equip clients with the skills needed to be able to successfully live independently in the community while enhancing and maintaining their overall recovery.
