Blueprints for Addiction Recovery - 435 Nevin Street Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Blueprints for Addiction Recovery – 435 Nevin Street is a women's sober house in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in Lancaster County. It holds a full, active license from the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs as a recovery house under Act 59.

A Women's Sober House on Nevin Street

Nevin Street sits in a residential section of southeast Lancaster, and this house keeps its residents, a single-gender population of women, under one roof and one set of house rules. That single restriction settles bathrooms, bedrooms and house meetings as women-only space, with no mixed household to navigate.

The Only Other Women's Address in the Portfolio

Of the addresses Blueprints for Addiction Recovery holds licenses for across Lancaster, only this house on Nevin Street and one other, on Chestnut Street, serve women; the rest serve men. A woman applying to the operator is effectively choosing between two addresses, a far shorter list than the men's side of the portfolio.

What DDAP Licensure Establishes for Women's Recovery Housing

A full, active license from the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs means the state has inspected this address against its Act 59 recovery-house standards. Licensure is voluntary in Pennsylvania, so an operator that carries one on a women's address has made a deliberate choice.

Nevin Street and Lancaster's Southeast Side

The blocks around Nevin Street lie southeast of Lancaster's downtown core, in a quieter residential area than the cluster of the operator's licenses near Lime and Shippen Streets. Downtown services, the courthouse and Central Market remain reachable by Red Rose Transit bus.
