Willow Tree Inn Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Willow Tree Inn is a women's sober living home on Willowbank Street in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, the county seat. It is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs as a recovery house under Act 59 and is operated by Go ReEntry Specialists, a nonprofit that works with people returning home after incarceration.

A Women's Recovery House Run by a Reentry Nonprofit

This sober house in Bellefonte serves women in recovery, many of them navigating reentry alongside sobriety. Go ReEntry Specialists built Willow Tree Inn specifically to give women coming out of incarceration or treatment a substance-free home rather than a shelter bed, and the organization runs the program on a six-to-twelve-month timeline that flexes to how a resident is actually doing.

Structure at Willow Tree Inn

Residents get a personalized plan that staff review and adjust on a regular schedule, paired with transportation, mentoring, life-skills training and help finding work. The organization treats spiritual growth and community building as part of recovery rather than separate from it, and the house's substance-free environment is built around removing residents from the pressures of the life they are leaving behind.

What a DDAP License Confirms Here

Pennsylvania licensure of a recovery house is voluntary, and Go ReEntry Specialists carries a Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs license for Willow Tree Inn. That license means the property has been inspected and that the organization has agreed to state oversight, on top of the reentry programming it already runs.

Bellefonte and the Surrounding Area

Bellefonte is the county seat and sits a short drive from State College, giving residents access to the county's courts, outpatient providers and the broader Penn State region's job market without leaving a small-town setting. For a woman returning to central Pennsylvania after incarceration, that combination of scale and proximity is part of what makes Bellefonte workable.
