Recoveru Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Recoveru is a men's sober living home on Barney Street in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, in Luzerne County.

A Men's Sober House on Barney Street

This address houses adult men working a recovery program, and Barney Street sits in a residential pocket of Wilkes-Barre south of the downtown core. The single-gender household is the operating model for the block: every resident on Barney Street answering to Recoveru shares that same restriction.

Part of the Recoveru Network in Wilkes-Barre

This is one of two Recoveru houses on Barney Street, both licensed to house men. Running two addresses on the same street lets the operator move a resident between houses without changing the block, the bus stop or the neighbors a resident already knows.

Licensed Recovery Housing Under Act 59

The Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs licenses this address as a recovery house under Act 59 of 2017. A DDAP license means the state has reviewed the property and can inspect it going forward, a different standard than an unlicensed sober living arrangement can offer.

Getting to Barney Street in Wilkes-Barre

Wilkes-Barre sits at the center of Luzerne County and the Wyoming Valley, and Barney Street is within reach of the Luzerne County Transportation Authority's bus network, downtown Wilkes-Barre's court and social-service offices, and the hospitals along the Susquehanna River corridor. That reach matters for a resident who needs to keep an appointment without a car.
