Pennsylvania House - RecoVET Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Pennsylvania House – RecoVET is a men's sober living home in St. Louis, Missouri, an independent city that functions as its own county. It is operated by RecoVET HealthCare, and follows the same veteran-specific model RecoVET runs across its St. Louis housing.

A Men's Recovery Home for Veterans

Pennsylvania House accepts male veterans 18 and older who commit to abstinence from alcohol and illicit substances, and the house is staffed with Peer Support Specialists who share a similar military and recovery background. That shared history is the organizing principle of the house.

Daily Structure Built Around Accountability

Residents take part in weekly meetings, peer coaching sessions, random drug screenings and daily recovery groups, and RecoVET requires participation in behavioral health or addiction services alongside the housing itself. Residents are also encouraged toward twenty hours a week of employment, volunteering or education, which sets an expectation that recovery includes rebuilding a working life, not just staying housed.

Recovery Housing in the City of St. Louis

St. Louis functions as its own independent city, and it hosts a sizable veteran population along with VA-connected medical and benefits services. A veteran-specific sober house in the city gives residents a peer community built on shared service, something a general-population sober house cannot replicate.

Part of RecoVET's St. Louis Housing Network

Pennsylvania House is one of several residences RecoVET HealthCare runs for veterans in the St. Louis area, and the organization has described plans to expand its housing across multiple buildings citywide as its program grows.

What to Ask Before Moving Into This St. Louis Sober House

Anyone considering Pennsylvania House should confirm directly with RecoVET what documentation of veteran status is required, what the weekly screening schedule looks like, and how the organization connects residents to VA or community behavioral health services outside the house.
