A Women's Transitional Home on East Walnut Street

Women transitioning out of primary treatment live at this address, and East Walnut Street runs through a residential section on Lancaster's east side. The GateHouse maintains the same gender-specific structure at each transitional living home it operates in the city.

Continuity Between Treatment and Housing

The GateHouse runs addiction treatment and outpatient services in Lancaster alongside its network of transitional living homes, so a resident moving into this house is typically stepping down from care the same organization already provided. That continuity can matter more than the address itself for someone still working an early outpatient schedule.

What Licensure Under Act 59 Provides

The Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs licenses this house as a recovery house under Act 59 of 2017. Licensure is not mandatory for every recovery house in the state, so this address has agreed to state review that plenty of comparable housing in Lancaster operates without.
