Fellowship House Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Fellowship House is a men's recovery home on Willow Avenue in Olyphant, Pennsylvania, in Lackawanna County. The Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs licenses the property as a recovery house under Act 59 of 2017.

A Men's Recovery Home on Willow Avenue

Olyphant sits in the Mid Valley section of Lackawanna County, a few miles northeast of Scranton along the Lackawanna River. Fellowship House's single-gender population keeps its house rules, meetings and common space consistent for everyone living there.

Part of a Larger Addiction Treatment Organization

Fellowship House operates as part of a wider addiction treatment organization serving the Scranton area, one that runs a continuum including clinical treatment, transitional living and outpatient programs. A resident at the Willow Avenue house is connected to that larger network rather than a standalone landlord.

What Act 59 Licensing Establishes

Licensure under Act 59 is voluntary in Pennsylvania, and the house carries a license from the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs that requires state inspection and adherence to a published operating standard. Pennsylvania's certification guide covers what that license means.

Olyphant and the Mid Valley

The Mid Valley towns north of Scranton share the city's hospitals, courts and outpatient providers while keeping a smaller, quieter footprint than Scranton itself. Fellowship House's location puts residents within reach of that larger network on a shorter commute.

A Long-Running Recovery Organization

The organization behind Fellowship House has worked in the Scranton area for years, built by people with direct recovery experience, and has taken hundreds of residents through its treatment continuum. That track record is part of what separates an established recovery house from a newly opened one.
