A Men's House on a Street of Women's Homes

North Ellsworth Street carries three Westminster Homes addresses licensed for women; this house, further along the same street, is the men's counterpart. The operator keeps genders in separate buildings entirely, so bathrooms, common space and house meetings are single-gender throughout.

Rules That Apply From Day One

No mood-altering substances are permitted, and the house uses random drug and breathalyzer screening to enforce it. A weapon found on the property is grounds for immediate discharge. Smoking, where it is allowed, is limited to a single designated outdoor area.

Licensed Under Pennsylvania's Act 59

This house holds a Pennsylvania recovery house license issued under Act 59 of 2017, which means it has passed a Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs inspection and remains subject to the department's ongoing standards. The department's locator lists all currently licensed houses statewide.

A Ninety-Day Program Without a Hard Deadline

Westminster Homes of the Lehigh Valley asks new residents to commit to ninety days, but ties actual length of stay to progress through its color block system, which gives men working through early recovery room to move at their own pace.
