Fairmont Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Fairmont is a men's sober living home in New Kensington, Pennsylvania, in Westmoreland County. It is operated by Just 4 Today Properties and is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs as a recovery house.

A Men's Sober House on Fairmont Drive

Fairmont Drive sits in a residential section of New Kensington, a former manufacturing city on the Allegheny River about eighteen miles northeast of Pittsburgh. The house serves men only, which keeps common space, house meetings and expectations built around one population.

What a DDAP License Establishes

Licensure through the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, granted under Act 59, means the house has been reviewed against the state's health and safety standards for recovery housing and holds a current, active license. Licensure in Pennsylvania is voluntary, so an operator that carries it has chosen to answer to state oversight. Pennsylvania's addiction recovery housing sector is also served at the voluntary certification level by the Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences, the state's NARR affiliate.

New Kensington and the Pittsburgh Suburbs

New Kensington is part of the Alle-Kiski Valley, an old industrial corridor that has spent the last two decades rebuilding around smaller employers and commuter access to Pittsburgh. A resident here is close enough to the city for work and outpatient appointments without living inside it, and Westmoreland County's courts and treatment providers are a short drive south in Greensburg.

Life at the Fairmont Sober Living Home

Applications for Fairmont go through Just 4 Today Properties. Anyone considering the house should ask directly about the weekly rate, how bedrooms are assigned, whether a house manager lives on site, and what the relapse and discharge policy covers. A licensed recovery house has to be able to answer those questions plainly.
