About this Recovery House

Fellowship House – Sanderson Avenue is a sober house in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Fellowship House is a men's sober living home on Sanderson Avenue in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in Lackawanna County, licensed by the state as a recovery house.

A Men's Recovery Home on Sanderson Avenue

Fellowship House houses men only, and Sanderson Avenue sits in Scranton's Green Ridge section, a residential neighborhood of single- and two-family homes north of downtown. The setting is quiet and largely residential, the kind of address families look for when a resident needs distance from the places tied to active use.

Part of a Northeastern Pennsylvania Treatment Program

Fellowship House operates under a wider organization that runs outpatient treatment, transitional living and job-training services across the Scranton and Olyphant area. Sober living is one piece of that continuum, meant for a resident who has finished a higher level of care and needs a structured address while working outpatient treatment or building job skills.

Licensed by DDAP Under Act 59

The house is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs as a recovery house under Act 59 of 2017. Because licensure in Pennsylvania is voluntary, a licensed house has opted into DDAP's inspection and complaint process, a fact a prospective resident can verify.

Green Ridge and Downtown Scranton

Green Ridge is close enough to downtown Scranton to reach the Lackawanna County courthouse, outpatient treatment providers and the county transit hub without a long commute. The Marketplace at Steamtown and the surrounding retail corridor also sit within a short ride, which matters for men looking for entry-level work in the first weeks of a stay.

Reaching Fellowship House in Scranton

Applications go through Fellowship House directly. Before moving in, ask about the weekly rate, whether a house manager lives on site, and how the house handles a positive drug test, since a licensed recovery house is expected to have written policies covering all three.
