About this Recovery House
Sees the Day - Pennsylvania Avenue is a women's sober house in York, Pennsylvania, in York County. It is one of several transitional recovery houses run by Sees the Day, Inc., which has supported the York area for more than 25 years.
A Women's Sober House on Pennsylvania Avenue
This house serves women working through recovery on Pennsylvania Avenue, a residential street on York's west side, close to the outpatient providers, courts and social services concentrated in the city's core.
A Structured Transitional Housing Program
Sees the Day runs its houses as three-quarter, or transitional, housing rather than a supervised clinical program. Residents are expected to attend daily twelve-step meetings, aiming for ninety meetings in ninety days, and to hold a job or complete at least twenty-five hours of community service each week. Everyone shares responsibility for the day-to-day running of the house, and residents are encouraged to continue outpatient aftercare alongside the program.
Sees the Day's DDAP-Licensed Recovery Houses in York
Sees the Day operates several houses licensed by Pennsylvania's Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs under Act 59. Licensure is voluntary in the state, so its presence across the operator's houses reflects a choice rather than a legal requirement, and current status can be confirmed through the state's own recovery housing lookup.
What Pennsylvania Recovery Housing Certification Establishes
Separate from DDAP licensure, Pennsylvania recovery residences can also pursue certification through the Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. This guide to getting certified covers what that requires.
Recovery Housing in York and York County
York is the county seat and commercial center of south-central Pennsylvania, and Sees the Day has built its houses around that hub for a quarter century. Residents of the Pennsylvania Avenue house are close to the county courthouse, area hospitals and the outpatient network that most people leaving treatment or incarceration in York County still rely on.
Reaching Sees the Day in York, Pennsylvania
Applications go through Sees the Day directly. Worth asking: whether a bed is open at this specific house, how the twelve-step and work or service requirements are enforced, and how a transfer to one of the operator's other York-area houses would work if the fit is wrong.
Sober living homes are group residences for people who are recovering from addiction. In most instances, people who live in sober homes have to follow certain house rules and contribute to the home by doing chores. Most importantly, residents must stay sober throughout their stay in the home.
