Westminster Homes - 525 North Saint George Street Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Westminster Homes – 525 North Saint George Street is a women's sober living home in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in Lehigh County, licensed for women with children by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs.

The Second Saint George Street House

Westminster Homes of the Lehigh Valley operates a companion house eight doors down at 517 North Saint George Street, and both share the same license classification for women with children. Two houses on one street give the operator room to separate families without splitting them across the city.

The Color Block System for Tracking Progress

Residents move through a color block system, from an initial blackout period through white, blue and black stages, as they demonstrate stability. The operator asks for a 90-day commitment at intake but ties actual length of stay to that progression, which gives a mother enough time to stabilize a routine before facing a move-out deadline.

House Rules Around Sobriety and Safety

The house prohibits all mood-altering substances and uses random drug and breathalyzer screening to enforce it. Weapons of any kind are grounds for immediate discharge, a rule the operator applies uniformly across every Westminster Homes address.

Lehigh County's Family Services Network

Allentown sits at the center of Lehigh County's social services, courts and pediatric medical network, and a Saint George Street address keeps a resident inside walking or short bus distance of most of it via LANTA's city routes.

What DDAP Licensure Means Here

This house holds a Pennsylvania recovery house license under Act 59 of 2017, confirming it has passed a state inspection specific to housing women with children. The Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs maintains the statewide list of licensed houses.
