Herkey Houses - East King Street Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Herkey Houses – East King Street is a men's sober house in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in Lancaster County. The Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs licenses it as a recovery house under Act 59, and Herkey Houses operates it.

Men's Sober Living on East King Street

East King Street extends east from downtown Lancaster through residential blocks toward the edge of the city, and the house serves men exclusively. That single-gender policy is consistent across every Herkey Houses address in the city.

Licensure Versus Certification in Pennsylvania

A Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs license under Act 59 is a state credential earned through review and subject to inspection. It is a different thing from certification through Pennsylvania's NARR affiliate, which some recovery housing operators pursue separately. Neither is required of every recovery house in the state, which is what makes a licensed address worth checking against an unlicensed one.

Reaching Lancaster's Services from East King Street

East King Street sits within range of downtown Lancaster's outpatient providers, courts and the Red Rose Transit Authority's bus network, all of which serve Lancaster County as its county seat. That range matters most in the early months after treatment, when appointments and court dates tend to be frequent.
