A Men's Sober House on Montgomery Avenue

This house serves men in recovery in New Castle, and Montgomery Avenue sits within the city's core, close to the same downtown services and bus routes that most New Castle residents rely on.

Public Recovery Housing in New Castle

Montgomery House is run by the Lawrence County Drug and Alcohol Commission, the county's public drug and alcohol agency, rather than by a private company. A resident applying here is dealing with a county program that also runs case management, prevention and treatment services elsewhere in Lawrence County.

What County Oversight Adds to a Licensed House

Montgomery House carries a license from the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs under Act 59 of 2017, a voluntary program in this state. Running under a county commission adds a second layer of public accountability on top of that license, since the agency answers to the county alongside the state.

Reaching the Lawrence County Drug and Alcohol Commission

Applications for Montgomery House, or for the commission's other men's residence, Freedom House, go through the Lawrence County Drug and Alcohol Commission directly. The agency's broader services, case management, prevention programming and a naloxone distribution program, mean a resident can often stay connected to the same organization after moving out.
