The Elizabeth House Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

The Elizabeth House is a men's sober house in Washington, Pennsylvania, the seat of Washington County. It is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs as a recovery house under Act 59 and serves adult men in recovery.

A Men's Sober House on Elizabeth Street

The Elizabeth House takes its name from Elizabeth Street in Washington, where the house is located. Serving men only means the house's rules, chores and common space are all built for one population, in a small city where a licensed sober house is one of a limited number of formal recovery housing options.

What Act 59 Licensure Establishes at The Elizabeth House

Act 59 licensure is voluntary for Pennsylvania recovery houses, and The Elizabeth House carries it. The license places the property under DDAP inspection and creates a formal channel for a complaint, which is the accountability an unlicensed rental cannot offer.

Recovery Housing in a County Seat South of Pittsburgh

Washington is the seat of Washington County and home to Washington & Jefferson College, sitting along the I-70 and I-79 corridor south of Pittsburgh. That location gives a resident of The Elizabeth House access to Pittsburgh's larger job market and treatment network while living in a smaller, quieter county seat.

What to Confirm With The Elizabeth House

Ask about the weekly fee, whether a house manager lives on site, the relapse and discharge policy, and whether medication-assisted treatment is accepted. A licensed recovery house should be able to answer each clearly before a resident applies.
