About this Recovery House

Stop and Surrender Wayne Ministries – Women's House is a sober house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Women's House is a licensed sober house on North 27th Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, run by Stop and Surrender Wayne Ministries.

A Women's Sober House on North 27th Street

This sober house in Philadelphia serves adult women, and it sits in the Nicetown-Tioga area of North Philadelphia, several blocks from the ministry's other three houses in Fairhill. The house holds a full license as a recovery house from the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs.

A Single-Gender House Within a Larger Ministry

Keeping the North 27th Street house to women only means house meetings, common space and daily routine are built around one population. Stop and Surrender Wayne Ministries runs a separate men's house and a second women's residence elsewhere in the city, so gender is split at the house level rather than inside one building.

Nicetown-Tioga and North Philadelphia

Nicetown-Tioga sits along Roosevelt Boulevard and North Broad Street, both major North Philadelphia corridors with SEPTA bus service into Center City and toward Temple University's hospital campus. That access matters for a resident attending outpatient treatment or an early job without a car.

One of Two Women's Houses in the Network

The North 27th Street house is one of two women's residences Stop and Surrender Wayne Ministries operates, alongside a lower-demand house on West Lehigh Avenue. Applicants are considered for whichever address fits their current level of structure.
