About this Recovery House

Guardian Angel Recovery House is a certified women's sober house on North Laurel Street in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, in Luzerne County, licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs.

A Women's Sober House on North Laurel Street

Guardian Angel Recovery House gives women a substance-free home built around twelve-step recovery and daily peer accountability. The nonprofit named the house for the women it has lost to addiction and keeps rooms dedicated to their memory, a detail that sets the tone for a house whose founders are working from loss rather than theory.

Licensed Recovery Housing Under Act 59

Pennsylvania licenses recovery houses through the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs under Act 59 of 2017, and Guardian Angel Recovery House holds a full license as a nonprofit operator. Licensure means the house has passed a state inspection and answers to state oversight, a step that remains voluntary in Pennsylvania, so plenty of houses in a city the size of Hazleton go without it.

Recovery in Hazleton and Luzerne County

Hazleton anchors the southern end of Luzerne County, with its own hospital, courts and a growing outpatient treatment base separate from the Wilkes-Barre and Scranton services further north. A Luzerne County recovery residence based in Hazleton itself saves a resident the drive up Route 309 for the appointments that matter most in early recovery.

Twelve-Step Structure for Women in Recovery

The house builds its daily structure around twelve-step participation, which suits a woman who has already completed detox or residential treatment and needs a peer-supported place to practice what she learned. Guardian Angel Recovery House keeps the population single-gender, so meetings, chores and house culture are set by and for women.

Reaching Guardian Angel Recovery House

Applications go through Guardian Angel Recovery directly. Because it is a licensed, nonprofit house, the questions worth asking mirror what licensure already requires the operator to answer: how fees are set, what the house's relapse policy looks like, and how a resident's twelve-step commitment fits into daily house structure.
