Apollo House Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Apollo House is a men's sober house on South Street in Butler, Pennsylvania, the seat of Butler County. It is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs as a recovery house under Act 59 of 2017.

A Men's Recovery Home on South Street

South Street sits inside Butler's compact downtown grid, a short walk from the county courthouse and the retail core along Main Street. For a house serving men in recovery, that kind of walkable footprint answers a basic logistics question before any other feature does: whether a meeting, a job interview or a court date needs a ride.

What Act 59 Licensing Establishes

Pennsylvania licenses recovery houses on a voluntary basis, so a license is a choice an operator makes rather than a legal minimum. It commits the property to inspection by the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs and to a published set of operating standards. Pennsylvania's guide to certifying a recovery residence covers what that license requires.

Butler as a County Seat

As the seat of Butler County, Butler holds the courthouse, the county's human services offices and a concentration of outpatient providers that smaller townships nearby do not have. Apollo House sits inside that service radius, which matters for residents managing probation check-ins or outpatient appointments alongside a job.

Before Applying to Apollo House

A licensed operator has to put its fees and rules in writing before move-in. Ask what the weekly rate covers, whether a house manager is on site, what happens after a relapse, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted. Those are the questions Pennsylvania licensing is built to make answerable.
