Colonial Park House Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Colonial Park House is a coed sober living home in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in Dauphin County. It runs as a three-quarter house on Jonestown Road, giving men and women a shared step between treatment and independent living.

A Coed Sober House on Jonestown Road

Colonial Park House houses men and women together under one set of rules, with residents expected to keep an alcohol- and drug-free household and to submit to testing when asked. Jonestown Road runs through Harrisburg's northeast side, close to shopping, dining and the bus routes that connect the corridor to downtown.

A Three-Quarter House Model

A three-quarter house sits between a fully staffed halfway house and independent living: residents keep their own schedules and cover their own groceries, but they answer to house rules and a resident agreement. Colonial Park House expects residents to be working, volunteering or attending school soon after they move in, and it keeps a nightly curfew.

Recovery Housing in Harrisburg and Dauphin County

Harrisburg is both the state capital and the seat of Dauphin County, so state offices, the county courthouse and a concentration of outpatient treatment providers all sit within a few miles of Jonestown Road. A recovery home in Harrisburg keeps residents close to whichever of those a case plan requires.

What Pennsylvania Licensure and Certification Establish

Pennsylvania recovery houses can be licensed through the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs or certified through the Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences, though neither is required by law. Either record gives a prospective resident fees and rules in writing before move-in, which is the practical thing to check regardless of which credential a house holds.
