A Men's Recovery House on South Richland Avenue

This sober living home serves adult men in recovery. South Richland Avenue sits in one of York's residential neighborhoods south of the downtown core, within reach of the city's bus network and the services clustered around Penn Street and the courthouse square. For a man coming out of treatment, a licensed address inside the city puts work, meetings and appointments within a short ride rather than a long drive.

What DDAP Licensure Establishes in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania licenses recovery houses through the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs under Act 59 of 2017, and the license is a matter of public record. A licensed house has passed a state inspection and meets standards for safety and operation that an unlicensed rooming house does not have to meet. Licensure in Pennsylvania is voluntary, so a licensed address is one a prospective resident or family can actually verify before move-in, through the state's own recovery housing locator.

York, the Seat of York County

York is the seat of York County and the commercial anchor of south-central Pennsylvania, with a downtown court system, WellSpan's hospital network and a community college all inside the city. That concentration matters for early recovery: probation check-ins, outpatient treatment and entry-level work are reachable without a car, which is not true of the more rural parts of the county.

Central Pennsylvania Recovery Associates' York Houses

Central Pennsylvania Recovery Associates operates nine licensed recovery houses in York, serving men and women at separate addresses across the city. A resident who needs a different setting after move-in is dealing with an operator that already runs multiple houses in the same city, rather than starting over with someone new.
