Stop and Surrender Wayne Ministries - Low Demand Dorothy House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Stop and Surrender Wayne Ministries – Low Demand Dorothy House is a sober house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Low Demand Dorothy House is a licensed women's recovery residence in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, run by Stop and Surrender Wayne Ministries.

A Lower-Structure Women's Recovery House

This recovery residence in Philadelphia houses adult women under a lower-demand model, meaning less day-to-day structure than the ministry's other women's house on North 27th Street. It suits a woman further along in recovery who needs stable, licensed housing without the tighter schedule of an early-stage program.

Licensed Under the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs

The house carries a full license as a recovery house from the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, the same credential held by all four Stop and Surrender Wayne Ministries addresses in North Philadelphia.

West Lehigh Avenue and North Philadelphia

West Lehigh Avenue is a major east-west corridor through North Philadelphia, connecting Fairhill and Nicetown-Tioga to the rest of the city by SEPTA bus. The location keeps a resident within reach of outpatient providers and Temple University's hospital campus, both common destinations for people in recovery in this part of Philadelphia.

A Step-Down Option Within the Ministry

Stop and Surrender Wayne Ministries offers the Low Demand Dorothy House as a lower-structure option alongside its higher-structure North 27th Street house and its two properties on West Harold Street. A woman who starts in one house can ask the ministry directly about moving to the other as her needs change.
