Surge Recovery 3 Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Surge Recovery 3 is a sober living home on 16th Street in North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, licensed as a recovery house under the state's Act 59 program.

A North Philadelphia Recovery House

Surge Recovery 3 stands apart from the operator's two 60th Street properties by location, sitting instead in North Philadelphia near 16th Street. It runs under the same organization and the same step-based program the operator has used in the city for years.

Part of a Longer-Running Philadelphia Program

Surge Recovery organizes its housing around a three-step path: a 90-day residential commitment, a period of taking on responsibility within the house, and graduation tied to completing outpatient treatment and lining up income and housing. The organization reports 25 years running recovery programs in Philadelphia.

Licensed Under Pennsylvania's Act 59

This address holds a license from the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, one of three Surge Recovery properties the operator has licensed under Act 59 of 2017. Licensure in the state is voluntary, so a licensed address has passed a state inspection most unlicensed recovery houses in the city have not.

North Philadelphia's Location and Access

This section of North Philadelphia sits along the 16th Street corridor, within reach of the city's public transit network and the outpatient providers concentrated throughout Philadelphia. A resident here can reach vocational and treatment partners across the city without needing a car.

Applying to Surge Recovery 3

Applications for this house go through Surge Recovery directly, which evaluates residents against the same program requirements it applies at its other Philadelphia addresses.
