Westminster Homes - 118 North Ellsworth Street Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Westminster Homes – 118 North Ellsworth Street is a women's sober house in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in Lehigh County, licensed under Pennsylvania's Act 59 recovery house program.

A Third Ellsworth Street Address for Women

This house sits between two sister Westminster Homes properties on the same street, rounding out a cluster of three women's houses within a few doors of each other. The arrangement means residents rarely lose their existing routine, outpatient provider or bus stop when moving between the operator's houses.

What a Prospective Resident Should Ask

Because DDAP licensure confirms a passed inspection but says nothing about daily program details, anyone considering this address should ask directly about the weekly fee, how bedrooms are assigned, what happens after a relapse, and whether a prescribed medication requires physician sign-off to continue, which is how Westminster Homes handles medication generally.

Substance and Safety Rules

All mood-altering substances are prohibited, enforced through random drug and breathalyzer testing, and any weapon on the property is grounds for immediate discharge. These rules are consistent across every Westminster Homes address, not specific to this one.

DDAP Licensure in a Voluntary System

Pennsylvania does not require every recovery house to be licensed, so a house that carries a Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs license under Act 59 has chosen to operate inside a system the state can inspect and enforce.

Reaching Services From North Ellsworth Street

Allentown's center city location puts this house within reach of the county courthouse, outpatient treatment providers and LANTA bus lines that connect to the rest of Lehigh County.
