Herkey Houses - North Queen Street Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Herkey Houses – North Queen Street is a men's sober house in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in Lancaster County, run by Herkey Houses and licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs as a recovery house under Act 59.

A Men's Recovery Home on North Queen Street

North Queen Street runs north from downtown Lancaster through a mix of residential blocks and small commercial storefronts, and the house sits among them. Every resident is a man in recovery, and Herkey Houses applies the same single-gender rule at each address it licenses in the city.

What a State License Adds

Pennsylvania does not require every recovery house to be licensed, so the houses that carry a Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs license under Act 59 have opted into state review and future inspection. That is separate from certification through Pennsylvania's NARR affiliate, which some operators pursue as an additional layer once licensure is in place.

Downtown Lancaster from North Queen Street

North Queen Street feeds directly into Lancaster's downtown grid, putting Lancaster General Hospital, the county courthouse and the Red Rose Transit Authority's central hub within a short distance. That location matters for a resident managing outpatient appointments, court dates or a job search without a car.

Part of a Multi-City Recovery Housing Network

This is one of several addresses Herkey Houses licenses in Lancaster, and the organization also runs recovery houses in York, Harrisburg and Lebanon. A shared operator across those cities means a resident who relocates within south-central Pennsylvania is not necessarily starting the housing search over.
