Phoenix Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Phoenix is a coed sober living home on Mercer Street in Butler, Pennsylvania, in Butler County. JSB Works LLC operates the property alongside four other houses in the city.

A Coed Sober House on Mercer Street

Men and women share the house under one set of rules, which keeps the weekly cost down and puts everyone under the same expectations. Mercer Street runs into downtown Butler, putting the house within walking distance of Main Street, the county courthouse and the outpatient clinics clustered around them.

Understanding Certification in a Voluntary System

Pennsylvania does not require a recovery house to hold a state license or an outside certification to operate. The Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences, the state's National Alliance for Recovery Residences affiliate, certifies houses that apply and agree to its code of ethics, fee disclosure and complaint process. The path to that certification is the same for any Pennsylvania operator, regardless of whether a given house has taken it yet.

Butler County's Commercial Center

Butler is the seat of Butler County and the largest city between Pittsburgh and the Ohio border to the north. Its downtown core, a short distance from Mercer Street, holds the county government offices, Butler Memorial Hospital and most of the area's outpatient behavioral health services, all reachable without a long drive.

Applying to Phoenix Through JSB Works

JSB Works LLC handles applications for Phoenix and its other Butler properties directly. Before moving in, a prospective resident should ask about the weekly cost, whether a manager lives on site, and what happens if someone in the house relapses.
