Next Step Recovery House Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Next Step Recovery House is a men's sober house on North Lincoln Avenue in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in Lackawanna County, and it is licensed as a recovery house by the state.

A Men's Sober House on North Lincoln Avenue

This Scranton recovery home serves men, and North Lincoln Avenue runs through a residential stretch on the city's West Side, near the Lackawanna River and within a short distance of downtown. The name itself signals the house's purpose: a landing point after treatment, before independent living.

DDAP Licensure and What It Means for Residents

Next Step Recovery House is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs under Act 59 of 2017. Licensure is not required of every recovery house in Pennsylvania, so an applicant can treat it as a real signal: the operator has gone through DDAP's review process.

West Side Scranton's Access to Downtown

West Side Scranton sits directly across the Lackawanna River from downtown, close enough that residents can reach the county courthouse, DDAP-licensed treatment providers and the COLTS transit hub without depending on a car. That kind of access matters most in the early weeks, when court dates, intake appointments and job interviews tend to land in the same short window.

A For-Profit Sober House in Lackawanna County

The house operates as a for-profit business, a common structure among Pennsylvania's licensed recovery houses, and Act 59 licensing applies to it the same way it applies to nonprofit operators.

Moving Into Next Step Recovery House

Applications are handled directly through the house. A licensed recovery house is required to disclose its fees and its rules before move-in, so those are the two things to request in writing before committing to a bed on North Lincoln Avenue.
