Renewed Living Houses Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Renewed Living Houses is a men's sober house in Oil City, Pennsylvania, the seat of Venango County. It is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs as a recovery house under Act 59 and operates as a non-profit.

A Non-Profit Sober House on West First Street

The house sits on West First Street in Oil City, a small city built along the Allegheny River where the oil industry got its start in the 1860s. Renewed Living Houses serves men only, and as a non-profit it typically runs its program closer to cost than a for-profit sober living rental in the same market.

Licensed Recovery Housing at Renewed Living Houses

Act 59 licensure is voluntary for Pennsylvania recovery houses, and Renewed Living Houses has taken it on. The license brings DDAP inspection and a formal complaint process, a standard that an unlicensed rooming house does not carry regardless of how it markets itself.

A Recovery Home in Venango County's County Seat

Oil City is the seat of Venango County and its largest population center, with a downtown along the Allegheny River that carries most of the county's civic and commercial life. That concentration matters for a resident without a car: a courthouse, local outpatient providers and the county's main services all sit within the same small city.

Applying to Renewed Living Houses

Ask about the weekly cost and what it covers, whether a house manager lives on site, what happens after a relapse, and whether medication-assisted treatment is accepted. A licensed non-profit recovery house should answer all four plainly before a move-in date is set.
