Blueprints for Addiction Recovery

About Blueprints for Addiction Recovery

Blueprints for Addiction Recovery is a sober living operator based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, running a network of recovery homes across Lancaster County, York and Columbia.

A Large Lancaster County Recovery Housing Network

Blueprints for Addiction Recovery maintains 21 recovery homes concentrated in the city of Lancaster, with additional houses in York and the river borough of Columbia. That scale makes it one of the larger single operators of recovery housing in Lancaster County, and it gives the organization room to move a resident between addresses without losing the relationship built with staff.

Sixteen of the houses sit inside the city of Lancaster itself, two are in York, and three are in Columbia, a smaller river borough on the Susquehanna.

Men's and Women's Housing Kept Separate

Three of the twenty-one addresses, on East Chestnut Street, Nevin Street and Old Philadelphia Pike, house women. The rest serve men. Each address runs as its own household, so bathrooms, bedrooms and house meetings stay single-gender regardless of how many other Blueprints houses sit nearby.

DDAP Licensure in a Voluntary System

Pennsylvania's Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs licenses recovery houses under Act 59 of 2017, and licensure is voluntary rather than mandatory. Blueprints for Addiction Recovery has carried a DDAP license on several of its addresses in York, Lancaster and Columbia. Vanderburgh House's guide to certifying a Pennsylvania recovery house explains what that license requires.

A South-Central Pennsylvania Footprint

Lancaster and York are both county seats along the Susquehanna corridor in south-central Pennsylvania, and Columbia is a smaller river community in Lancaster County across the river from Wrightsville. Concentrating so many houses inside one city gives Blueprints for Addiction Recovery residents a shared set of outpatient providers, courts and bus routes no matter which Lancaster address they are assigned to.

Reaching Blueprints for Addiction Recovery

Applications go through the operator directly, which places residents across its network based on availability and gender. Pennsylvania's DDAP recovery house locator can confirm the current license status of a specific address before asking about an opening, fees or house rules there.
