Franklin Recovery Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Franklin Recovery operates a men's sober living home on Taney Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in South Philadelphia.

A Men's Sober House on Taney Street

This sober house serves men in recovery in South Philadelphia, a dense residential section of the city with its own commercial corridors, transit lines and outpatient providers within walking distance of most addresses, Taney Street included.

Franklin Recovery as a Licensed Nonprofit Provider

Franklin Recovery is registered as a nonprofit organization, which puts a public record behind the housing it runs beyond the state license itself. That combination, a nonprofit filing and a Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs license, gives a family two separate things to check before choosing this house.

Licensure Under Pennsylvania's Act 59

Pennsylvania licenses recovery houses under Act 59 of 2017, and licensure is voluntary statewide, so this house has opted into a state inspection and a set of staffing and safety standards rather than being required to. Franklin Recovery's DDAP license is the public record available for this house; the Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences offers a separate, voluntary certification that operates alongside it.

Recovery Housing in South Philadelphia

South Philadelphia is one of the city's oldest residential districts, and it sits inside Philadelphia County, which functions as both city and county government. Outpatient treatment providers and the city's court system are a short ride away on SEPTA, which matters for a resident without a car yet.

A Second Franklin Recovery Home in the City

Franklin Recovery also runs a second men's house on Etting Street, a few blocks away in South Philadelphia. Both addresses fall under the same nonprofit, so a resident who needs a different set of housemates can move between them without changing operators.
