Skyline Recovery - Termon Avenue Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Skyline Recovery – Termon Avenue is a men's sober house in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in Allegheny County, run by a nonprofit operator and licensed by the state as a recovery residence. The house sits on Termon Avenue on the city's North Side.

A Men's Sober House Run by a Nonprofit Operator

Skyline Recovery is organized as a nonprofit, which sets it apart from the for-profit operators that run most of the recovery houses nearby. A nonprofit structure does not guarantee quality. It does mean the organization answers to a board and to nonprofit reporting requirements, with a single owner's balance sheet out of the picture. This house serves adult men only, which keeps its bedrooms, bathrooms and house meetings single-gender.

Termon Avenue and Pittsburgh's North Side

The house sits in Pittsburgh's Allegheny County service area, within reach of the hospital systems, outpatient clinics and Pittsburgh Regional Transit bus routes that serve the North Side and downtown. That proximity matters for a resident building a daily routine around work, appointments and meetings without a car.

DDAP Licensure and What It Means Here

The Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs lists this address as fully licensed under Act 59 of 2017. Licensure is voluntary in Pennsylvania, so Skyline Recovery's decision to carry it on this house is a choice, not a requirement, and it puts the residence on record with the state agency that oversees recovery housing. More on what that process involves is in Pennsylvania's certification and licensing guide.

Skyline Recovery's Network of Homes

Skyline Recovery also runs a women's sober house on Brookline Boulevard elsewhere in Pittsburgh, keeping its men's and women's housing in separate buildings under one nonprofit umbrella. A resident who later needs a different setting has a second address to raise with an organization that already knows him.
