About this Recovery House
Dunlin Home is a men's sober living home on Dunlin Road in Delray Beach, Florida, in Palm Beach County. It is operated by Hartman House, a Delray Beach provider that runs a small portfolio of single-gender sober houses across the city and the nearby Palm Beach County coast.
A Men's Sober House on Dunlin Road
This sober house in Delray Beach serves men only, which keeps the common space, house meetings and day to day accountability built around one population. Dunlin Road sits in a residential pocket of the city, close enough to Delray Beach's outpatient clinics, meeting halls and sober-friendly job market that a resident can rebuild a routine without depending on a car.
Florida's Voluntary Recovery Residence Certification
Florida certifies recovery residences through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences, the only credentialing body the state's Department of Children and Families has approved for this purpose. Certification is voluntary under state law, so a house without it is not automatically a lesser option, and one that carries it has simply chosen to work inside a published standard. Confirming a specific address's current status is a fair question to put directly to Hartman House. A guide explains how a Florida operator becomes certified through FARR.
Delray Beach and the Palm Beach County Recovery Community
Delray Beach has one of the densest concentrations of recovery housing in the country, and Dunlin Home sits inside that network. Interstate 95 and US-1 run the length of the county, Tri-Rail connects Delray Beach north to West Palm Beach and south toward Miami, and Palm Tran's local bus routes cover the corridor between them. For a resident without a car, that combination is what turns a meeting schedule, a job and a probation check-in into something manageable in one week.
Hartman House's Other Recovery Homes
Dunlin Home is one of three Hartman House addresses in this directory. Swinton House, on North Swinton Avenue, and Pineapple Manor, on Northeast 5th Street, are both men's sober houses in Delray Beach as well. Hartman House's own site also names houses in Boca Raton and Boynton Beach, putting its reach across a whole stretch of the Palm Beach County coast.
Applying to a Delray Beach Sober House
Applications for Dunlin Home go through Hartman House directly. Worth asking up front: whether a bed is open now, what the house's daily structure looks like, and whether the operator can place an applicant at one of its other Delray Beach or Boca Raton addresses if this one is full.
