Gaudenzia at Riverview Wellness Village Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Gaudenzia at Riverview Wellness Village is a sober living residence on State Road in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the city's Holmesburg section.

Recovery Housing Inside a Larger Wellness Campus

Philadelphia's Managing Director's Office opened Riverview Wellness Village in 2025 as part of a citywide push to expand recovery housing capacity, and Gaudenzia operates licensed recovery housing on the site. The campus is built for people who have completed at least thirty days of inpatient substance use treatment and are ready for a more independent, structured setting.

What Riverview Wellness Village Offers Residents

The campus spans roughly nineteen acres along the Delaware River and is organized around a series of residential cottages built around a central meeting house. Onsite services on the broader campus include primary healthcare, chronic disease management and workforce development alongside the recovery housing itself, so residents can address more than sobriety alone without leaving the site.

Gaudenzia's Role in Philadelphia's Recovery Housing System

Gaudenzia is a longstanding nonprofit behavioral health provider in Pennsylvania, and its presence at Riverview Wellness Village extends a recovery housing program it also runs at a second Philadelphia address on School House Lane. The city partnered with Gaudenzia and other providers to bring clinical and housing services onto one campus rather than scattering them across the city.

Licensure Under Pennsylvania's Act 59

This residence is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs under Act 59 of 2017, a voluntary program in Pennsylvania.

Recovery Housing Along the Delaware River in Northeast Philadelphia

Holmesburg sits in Northeast Philadelphia along the Delaware River, and the Riverview campus gives the neighborhood a concentration of recovery housing unlike anywhere else in the city. For residents coming out of inpatient treatment across the Philadelphia area, it functions as a single, purpose-built landing point rather than one house among many.
