New Prospects Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

New Prospects is a sober house for women in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in Blair County, operated by New Prospects, LLC. It is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs as a recovery house serving adult women.

A Sober House for Women on 12th Street

This sober house for women sits on 12th Street in Altoona, a former railroad city built on a dense grid that keeps most addresses within walking distance of downtown. That layout matters for a resident without a car, since jobs, meetings and appointments in Altoona tend to sit close together, not spread across a sprawling suburb.

What DDAP Recovery House Licensure Establishes in Blair County

Pennsylvania's recovery house licensure, created under Act 59 of 2017 and administered by the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, is voluntary statewide. A license on file for New Prospects means the house has been inspected and keeps written rules, fees and a relapse policy on record, the baseline check available to anyone considering a placement in Blair County. Pennsylvania's Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences runs a separate, voluntary certification track as well.

Altoona's Role as a Regional Recovery Housing Hub

Altoona is the largest city in Blair County and a regional center for the surrounding rural counties of central Pennsylvania. Outpatient treatment providers, the county courts and UPMC Altoona all sit within the city, so a resident of New Prospects has access to a service base that smaller Blair County towns cannot match on their own.
