A Men's Sober House on Vine Street

This Scranton recovery home serves men, and Vine Street sits in a residential pocket on the city's East Side. The block is close to Providence Road, which carries COLTS bus service toward downtown and gives residents a way to reach work or appointments without a car.

Licensed Recovery Housing 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. Licensure is voluntary in Pennsylvania, so a house that carries it has agreed to inspection and to the disclosure rules DDAP attaches to a license.

A Second Renewal House Nearby

Renewal House also runs a men's residence on Harrison Avenue elsewhere in Scranton. Two houses under one operator gives a resident room to change addresses within the same program if a different set of housemates or a different neighborhood makes more sense later.

Scranton's East Side and Lackawanna County

East Side Scranton is a short trip from downtown, where the county courthouse, DDAP-licensed treatment providers, and Geisinger's outpatient clinics are concentrated. Renewal House residents draw on that same cluster of services that most of Lackawanna County depends on.

What to Confirm Before Moving In

Ask Renewal House directly about the weekly cost, whether the house has a live-in manager, and how a positive drug test is handled. A licensed recovery house is expected to put those policies in writing before a resident signs on.
