About this Recovery House
Swinton House is a men's sober living home on North Swinton Avenue in Delray Beach, Florida, in Palm Beach County. Hartman House operates it alongside two other men's sober houses in the same city.
A Men's Recovery Home on North Swinton Avenue
Swinton House keeps its population to men, and North Swinton Avenue puts the house inside walking distance of downtown Delray Beach's Atlantic Avenue corridor, where much of the city's outpatient care, meeting culture and entry-level hiring is concentrated. That proximity matters more in early recovery than almost anywhere else in the house's daily routine.
What FARR Certification Means in Florida
The Florida Association of Recovery Residences is the sole entity Florida's Department of Children and Families has approved to certify recovery residences, and the credential is voluntary. A certified house has agreed to a written code of ethics, disclosed rules and fees in advance, and accepted an outside complaint process. Because certification is confirmed house by house and not published on any single public roll, a prospective resident should ask Hartman House directly which of its addresses currently hold it. A guide walks through how a Florida residence becomes FARR certified.
A Sober House in One of Florida's Busiest Recovery Markets
Delray Beach carries one of the largest concentrations of sober living in the country, and Palm Beach County's transit network, Tri-Rail and the Palm Tran bus system, was largely built to move people along this same coastal strip. Swinton House residents share that infrastructure with dozens of other recovery homes in the city, which keeps a used car from being a condition of staying sober and employed here.
Part of the Hartman House Network
Swinton House is one of three Hartman House addresses tracked in this directory, alongside Dunlin Home on Dunlin Road and Pineapple Manor on Northeast 5th Street, both also in Delray Beach and both serving men. The operator's own site lists additional houses in Boca Raton and Boynton Beach, so a resident who needs to move within the network later has other Palm Beach County addresses to consider.
Getting a Bed at Swinton House
Hartman House takes applications directly for Swinton House. A resident comparing it against the operator's other Delray Beach houses should ask what separates one address from another in structure and daily expectations, since Hartman House runs several under one set of standards.
