About this Recovery House

A Men's Recovery Home on Etting Street

This Etting Street house serves men in recovery in South Philadelphia, close enough to the operator's other men's residence on Taney Street that both draw on the same set of neighborhood services and the same SEPTA routes.

What Act 59 Licensure Confirms About This Philadelphia House

The Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs licenses recovery houses under Act 59 of 2017, and the program is voluntary. A licensed house has passed a state inspection and meets staffing and safety standards that an unlicensed rooming house is never required to meet, which is the practical difference between a licensed recovery house and an unregulated one in the same neighborhood.

Recovery Housing South of Center City

South Philadelphia sits inside Philadelphia County, and its density means outpatient providers, pharmacies and public transit are close to nearly every address in the neighborhood, Etting Street among them. That density is a large part of why recovery housing concentrates in this section of the city.

Franklin Recovery's Two Philadelphia Houses

Franklin Recovery, a nonprofit organization, runs this Etting Street house alongside a second men's residence on Taney Street, both in South Philadelphia. Applications for either address go through the same organization.
