First Stop Recovery

About First Stop Recovery

First Stop Recovery is a sober living operator in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, licensed by the state to provide recovery housing for men along the Kensington Avenue corridor.

A Kensington Avenue Recovery Housing Provider

The organization's work is housing: a stable, licensed address for men in early recovery in a part of Philadelphia built around exactly that need. Clinical treatment, case management and outpatient care come from the providers already clustered along the same corridor.

Licensed Under Pennsylvania's Act 59

First Stop Recovery holds a recovery house license from the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs. Licensure under Act 59 of 2017 is voluntary in this state, and carrying it puts the organization on record against a published standard.

Working the Kensington Corridor

The organization operates in one of Philadelphia's most transit-connected, resource-dense recovery corridors, reachable by the Market-Frankford Line and multiple bus routes without a transfer outside the city.

Reaching First Stop Recovery

Inquiries go directly to the organization. Ask what a stay costs, what documentation is required, how bed assignments are made, and how a discharge decision is handled.
