About this Recovery House

Cold Bore Recovery – 101 Prospect Avenue is a sober house in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Cold Bore Recovery runs a men's sober living home on Prospect Avenue in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in Lackawanna County. The house is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs as a recovery house under Act 59, one of three Cold Bore Recovery residences in the city. This location houses men in early recovery in a residential stretch of South Side Scranton, a short walk from Prospect Avenue's older two- and three-story homes.

A Men's Sober House on Prospect Avenue

This Scranton sober house serves men only, which keeps house meetings, common areas and the daily routine focused on one population. South Side Scranton is a walkable, older residential neighborhood, and Prospect Avenue itself runs through blocks of similar two- and three-story homes. COLTS, the county transit system, serves nearby Cedar Avenue, which puts work, meetings and appointments within reach without a car.

What DDAP Licensure Establishes in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania licenses recovery houses through the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs under Act 59 of 2017, and licensure is voluntary across the state. A house that carries it has gone through DDAP's application and inspection process on record with the state, a concrete, verifiable fact for a family comparing options from outside the area.

Two Men's Houses Under One Operator

Cold Bore Recovery runs a second men's house nearby on Prospect Avenue and a women's house across the neighborhood on Crown Avenue. Someone who needs a change of housemates without leaving the operator's structure has that option without starting over with an unfamiliar company.

Recovery Housing in Scranton and Lackawanna County

Scranton is the seat of Lackawanna County and the anchor city of the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre metro area, with Geisinger Community Medical Center and the University of Scranton both inside city limits. That concentration of health care and higher education gives Prospect Avenue residents a short list of nearby resources for outpatient care, GED or college coursework, and entry-level work while they rebuild a routine.

Applying to This Prospect Avenue Sober House

Applications go through Cold Bore Recovery directly. Worth asking before moving in: how bedrooms are assigned, what the house expects in the first thirty days, and whether the operator accepts referrals from a treatment program or a probation officer, since a DDAP-licensed house is required to put its rules and fees in writing.
