United Recovery Org - Broad Street Recovery House

About this Recovery House

United Recovery Org – Broad Street is a sober house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. On North Broad Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United Recovery Org runs a second licensed sober house, this one in the city's Logan section of Philadelphia County.

A Licensed Sober House in Logan

Logan sits along the Broad Street corridor north of Center City, a mixed residential and commercial neighborhood served directly by SEPTA's Broad Street Line. A resident here can reach Center City, Temple University's main campus and the courts downtown on one train line, without depending on a ride from someone else.

Licensure Through the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs

The Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs licenses this property as a recovery house under Act 59 of 2017. Licensure is voluntary in Pennsylvania, and a house that carries it has agreed to state inspection and to operate against a published standard rather than none at all. Pennsylvania's guide to certifying a recovery residence lays out what that standard covers.

One Operator, Two Philadelphia Neighborhoods

United Recovery Org's other licensed house sits several miles south on North 17th Street in Fairhill. Running both under one name means a resident who later needs a different neighborhood, a shorter transit ride or simply a change of housemates can ask the same organization rather than starting over with a stranger.

Getting Around North Philadelphia From Logan

Philadelphia County's transit network reaches deep into Logan, and that shapes what a resident can manage without a car: appointments, meetings and entry-level work within a single fare zone. For someone early in recovery, that access often decides whether a job holds past the first month.

Before Applying to This Broad Street Address

A licensed house has to put its fees and rules in writing before anyone moves in. The practical questions are the same ones licensure is built to answer: what the weekly rate includes, whether a house manager is on site, how a relapse is handled, and whether medication-assisted treatment is accepted.
