About this Recovery House
The Salvation Army Philadelphia Adult Rehabilitation Center is a coed recovery residence in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, serving adults in Philadelphia County. Residents live on site while taking part in the center's work therapy program.
A Coed Recovery Residence in Roxborough
The center houses men and women in a six-month residential program built around work therapy, up to eight hours a day, alongside group and individual counseling, education and relapse prevention. Housing and meals are included for the full six months, giving a resident more time than a typical 28-day program allows.
CARF Accreditation Behind the Program
The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities accredits the center, a credential that requires evidence-based programming and regular outside review of care standards. That accreditation sits alongside Pennsylvania's own recovery-house oversight through the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, and it is one of the more rigorous outside reviews a residential recovery program in the state can carry.
Serving Veterans and Court-Referred Residents
The program accepts veterans, active service members and people referred through the courts, along with residents managing trauma, domestic violence history or HIV status. It accepts Medicaid and offers sliding-scale and free options, keeping the six-month program open to residents who could not otherwise afford that length of stay.
What This Program Does Not Include
Medical detox and medication-assisted treatment are not part of the standard program, so a resident needing either should complete that step elsewhere before intake. The center's strength is the months that follow: structured days, steady work and a stable address while a longer-term recovery plan takes hold.
Recovery Housing in Philadelphia's Roxborough Section
Roxborough sits along the Schuylkill River in Northwest Philadelphia, removed from Center City's density but still inside the city's transit and hospital network. A Roxborough recovery residence gives a resident a quieter setting while keeping the city's broader services reachable.
Part of a National Rehabilitation Network
The Philadelphia center is one location within The Salvation Army's national Adult Rehabilitation Center system, which runs the same work-therapy model in cities across the country. That network gives the organization decades of operating history behind a single Philadelphia address.
Sober living homes are group residences for people who are recovering from addiction. In most instances, people who live in sober homes have to follow certain house rules and contribute to the home by doing chores. Most importantly, residents must stay sober throughout their stay in the home.
