Bay House Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Bay House is a men's sober living home in Pleasantville, New Jersey, in Atlantic County, operated by Coastal Recovery Solutions on Edgewater Avenue.

A Men's Sober House on Edgewater Avenue

Bay House serves men only, which Coastal Recovery Solutions states directly on its own site: the organization runs transitional residences for men in early recovery. That restriction settles a lot of the practical questions a prospective resident has before moving in, since bathrooms, common space, and house meetings are all single-gender by design. Pleasantville sits inland from Atlantic City, in the flatter, more residential stretch of Atlantic County, and Edgewater Avenue runs through one of its quieter blocks away from the city's casino corridor.

A Licensed Sober House Under New Jersey Law

Bay House holds a Class F Cooperative Sober Living Residence license from the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs. The license brings the property under the Department of Community Affairs' inspection authority. For a resident comparing options, that license is the one thing about the house that is both mandatory and checkable.

Part of a Five-House Network

Coastal Recovery Solutions runs four other men's sober homes across Atlantic County alongside Bay House: Harbor House in Egg Harbor City, Inlet House and Riptide House in Absecon, and Seaview House in Galloway. A resident who starts at Bay House and later needs a different set of housemates, or a shorter commute to a job elsewhere in the county, is asking people who already run four comparable houses.

Recovery Housing in Atlantic County

Pleasantville sits close to Atlantic City's hospitals and outpatient behavioral health providers, and Atlantic County's courts and county government are based in Mays Landing, the county seat, a short drive inland. Bay House residents have a working city's job market on one side and the county's institutional services on the other.

Applying to Bay House

Applications go through Coastal Recovery Solutions directly. Because New Jersey's license does not disclose fees or bed counts, the practical questions belong to the operator: what a weekly stay costs, whether a house manager lives on site, and what the house expects once someone moves in.
