A Men's Sober House on Frankford Avenue

This residence serves men only, on the same stretch of Frankford Avenue in Kensington where Merakey concentrates most of its Fresh Start housing, keeping the men's and women's houses close enough that changing addresses does not mean changing neighborhoods.

Merakey's Addiction Recovery Services

Fresh Start operates under Merakey's Addiction Recovery Services line, a program built around housing rather than clinical treatment, so residents keep their own outpatient providers while the organization runs the house.

Licensed Under Pennsylvania's Act 59

The address carries a recovery house license under the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, reviewed against the state's Act 59 standard.

Frankford Avenue and the Kensington Corridor

The avenue's elevated line and dense concentration of behavioral health services put jobs, courts and outpatient appointments within a short ride for residents here.
