The Only Licensed Men's Recovery Houses in Luzerne County

Restorative Roots operates what local reporting has identified as the only licensed men's recovery houses in Luzerne County, and this Coal Street address is one of them. That distinction matters in a county where men leaving treatment or incarceration otherwise have few licensed options close to home.

A Recovery House Built Around Four Pillars

Restorative Roots describes its work around four pillars: health, home, purpose and community. In practice that means the house is meant to be more than a place to sleep. It is structured to give a resident a stable address, a daily routine and a role in a community while he works on the health side of recovery elsewhere.

A Men's House in Plymouth

Plymouth sits along the Susquehanna River in Luzerne County's Wyoming Valley, a short distance from Wilkes-Barre. Coal Street runs through a residential part of the borough, and the surrounding valley towns share bus access into Wilkes-Barre, where most of the county's courts and treatment providers are based.

Licensed as a Recovery House Under Pennsylvania's Act 59

The house holds a Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs license, and Restorative Roots' own site describes operating a "state-licensed" recovery house. Licensure is voluntary in Pennsylvania, so this designation reflects a choice to operate under inspection and an approved capacity.

A Second Restorative Roots House Nearby

Restorative Roots W-R LLC also runs a second licensed men's house two doors down on the same street. A resident who needs a change of housemates without leaving the block has that option through the same operator.
