Cold Bore Recovery - 111 Prospect Avenue Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Cold Bore Recovery – 111 Prospect Avenue is a sober house in Scranton, Pennsylvania. A second Cold Bore Recovery sober living home for men sits at 111 Prospect Avenue in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in Lackawanna County. It sits a few doors from the operator's other men's house on the same block.

A Second Men's House on the Same Scranton Block

Cold Bore Recovery keeps both of its men's houses close together on Prospect Avenue. That proximity matters for staffing and consistency: the same house rules and the same operator answer both addresses, and men can move between the two without leaving the block if a housemate change makes sense.

Licensed Recovery Housing Under Act 59

This house is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs as a recovery house under Act 59 of 2017. Licensure is not required of every recovery house in the state, so a licensed address has agreed to DDAP's inspection and reporting requirements.

Life on Prospect Avenue in South Side Scranton

South Side Scranton is a settled residential neighborhood of older row and duplex homes, and Prospect Avenue is one of its through streets. Cedar Avenue, a block over, carries COLTS bus service and the corner businesses most residents rely on for groceries and errands before a car is part of the picture.

A Third House Serving Women Nearby

Cold Bore Recovery also operates a women's house on Crown Avenue elsewhere in Scranton, so the operator's structure covers both men and women even though each house keeps to one gender.

Recovery Housing in the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre Area

Scranton anchors Lackawanna County and sits at the center of the wider Scranton-Wilkes-Barre metro, home to Geisinger's largest regional hospital and several colleges. Men living on Prospect Avenue are inside that same service area for outpatient treatment, employment and continuing education.

What to Ask Before Moving Into This House

Applicants should ask what the weekly cost covers, whether a house manager is on site, and how the house handles a relapse, since a DDAP-licensed recovery house has to have written answers to all three.
