About this Recovery House
All Good Things Recovery - North 30th Street is a sober house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. All Good Things Recovery – North 30th Street is a coed recovery home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It stands in Philadelphia County in the 19132 blocks of North Philadelphia, close to the northeastern corner of Fairmount Park, and it is one of four addresses the nonprofit All Good Things Recovery publishes in the city.
A Coed Recovery Home on North 30th Street
Men and women live in this house. A coed recovery residence solves a specific problem in Philadelphia, where couples, single parents and women in general face a much thinner supply of beds than men do. It also means the house rules have to be written for a mixed household, so anyone considering it should ask how sleeping space is separated and how visitation is handled. North 30th Street runs north from Girard Avenue through Strawberry Mansion, a neighborhood of brick rowhouses on the park's edge.
Men's and Women's Beds Under One Recovery Housing Provider
All Good Things Recovery is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that houses men and women affected by addiction, mental illness and related conditions. Two of its four Philadelphia homes are coed and two serve men, so the organization can place a woman, a man or a couple without sending anyone to a different operator. Its stated policy is to house residents without regard to race, sexual identity or age, and the operator puts that commitment in writing.
Practical Support in This Philadelphia Recovery Housing
The nonprofit attaches four supports to the housing itself: outpatient treatment referrals, help getting personal identification, advocacy on open court matters, and job resources. Its residential program runs six to nine months. Read together, those two facts describe the intended arc. A resident arrives, gets documents and a treatment connection in place, finds work, and leaves with a rental history and a paper trail that did not exist on arrival.
Sober Living Beside Fairmount Park and Girard Avenue
Strawberry Mansion has a geography that suits early recovery better than its reputation suggests. Fairmount Park, one of the largest municipal park systems in the country, begins a few blocks west, and the Route 15 trolley on Girard Avenue connects the neighborhood to Brewerytown, Fairmount and Center City. Temple University Hospital and the outpatient providers clustered around North Broad Street are a short bus ride away, and everything a resident needs sits inside one county.
Certification and Licensure for Pennsylvania Sober Homes
Pennsylvania offers a recovery house two public credentials, both optional. The Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs licenses recovery houses under Act 59 of 2017, and the Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences certifies them against the standards of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. What either credential buys an applicant is the same short list: fees in writing before move-in, house rules in writing, a documented relapse and discharge policy, and someone outside the house who hears complaints.
Applying to This Coed Sober House in Philadelphia
Applications go to All Good Things Recovery. For a coed house, the questions that matter most are about structure: how bedrooms and bathrooms are arranged, what the policy is on relationships between residents, whether a manager lives on site overnight, and what the fee includes. Ask as well whether prescribed medication for opioid use disorder is accepted, because losing housing over a prescription is one of the fastest routes back to a relapse.
