The Swinton Place Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

The Swinton Place is a men's sober house on SE 1st Avenue in Delray Beach, Florida, in Palm Beach County.

A Men's Sober House on SE 1st Avenue

The Swinton Place houses men in recovery a few blocks east of downtown Delray Beach, within easy walking distance of Atlantic Avenue's shops, restaurants and meeting spaces. Single-gender housing keeps house rules and shared space focused on one population, and a downtown-adjacent address matters in a city where much of daily recovery life, from meetings to jobs, happens within a compact core.

What Voluntary Certification Means in Florida

Florida does not require a recovery residence to certify in order to operate legally. Certification through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences is voluntary under state law, so nothing about a house's status can be assumed from its presence or absence on a public list. The direct step for anyone considering The Swinton Place is to ask the operator about its current certification status.

Recovery Housing in Delray Beach and Palm Beach County

Delray Beach holds one of the densest concentrations of recovery housing in the country, and its downtown core makes a car unnecessary for many residents. West Palm Beach, the county seat, sits a short drive north and adds hospitals, courts and additional outpatient providers to the network already available inside Delray Beach itself.

What to Ask Before Moving Into This Delray Beach Sober House

Applications for The Swinton Place go directly to the house. Worth asking before moving in: what the weekly fee covers, whether a house manager lives on site, how bedrooms are assigned, what the relapse and discharge policy says, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted. In a market as crowded as Delray Beach's, a house willing to answer all four in writing stands out.
