East End Cooperative Ministry Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

East End Cooperative Ministry operates a recovery house on Station Street in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in Allegheny County, serving both men and women in active recovery. The property is licensed by the state's Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs as a recovery house under Act 59 of 2017.

A Coed Recovery House in East Liberty

Station Street sits in Pittsburgh's East Liberty neighborhood, a dense, transit-served section of the city's East End. The house runs as a 150-day program for adult men and women, with residents typically arriving through referrals from treatment facilities, probation or other justice-related services rather than applying directly off the street.

What the 150-Day Structure Provides

A fixed program length gives residents and the organizations referring them a shared timeline: peer support, mentoring, case management and employment assistance are all built around getting someone from early recovery into stable, independent living within that window. It is a more structured model than an open-ended sober house, closer to a transitional program with an endpoint attached.

What Act 59 Licensing Establishes

Pennsylvania licenses recovery houses on a voluntary basis, and East End Cooperative Ministry's Station Street property carries a license from the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs that requires state inspection and adherence to a published operating standard. Pennsylvania's certification guide covers what that license means.

East Liberty and Pittsburgh's East End

East Liberty sits at the center of Pittsburgh's East End, with bus and light rail service, retail and several of the city's larger employers within walking distance. That access supports the program's employment focus directly, since a resident can reach a job or an appointment without depending on a ride.

Part of a Broader East End Ministry

East End Cooperative Ministry runs the recovery house alongside other services, including emergency shelter and housing and employment programs, from its Station Street location. A resident referred into the recovery house is working with an organization that already runs multiple programs in the same building and neighborhood.
