The GateHouse - 830 Marietta Avenue Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

The GateHouse – 830 Marietta Avenue is a women's recovery residence in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in Lancaster County, operated by The GateHouse as one of its transitional living homes for women.

Transitional Living for Women on Marietta Avenue

Women complete this stage of The GateHouse's program on Marietta Avenue, a corridor that runs west from downtown Lancaster toward Franklin and Marshall College. The house is one of two GateHouse addresses on the same street, both housing women, which lets the organization keep a consistent set of house rules and staff across both.

How The GateHouse Structures Its Housing

The GateHouse pairs its transitional living homes with the treatment and outpatient services it runs elsewhere in Lancaster, so residents typically arrive already connected to the organization instead of applying cold. That structure keeps a resident's case history and housing under one roof, literally and organizationally.

A Licensed Recovery House Under Act 59

This address carries a license from the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs under Act 59 of 2017. Licensure remains voluntary for most Pennsylvania recovery houses, and an organization that licenses its transitional homes has opted into a state review process that unlicensed housing skips entirely.

Marietta Avenue's Place in Lancaster

Marietta Avenue connects to Lancaster's downtown core, where the county courthouse, Lancaster General Hospital and Red Rose Transit Authority bus service are all within reach. Lancaster's status as the seat of Lancaster County keeps that infrastructure centralized for residents across the city.
