Renewal House

About Renewal House

Renewal House is a sober living operator running two men's recovery houses in Scranton, Pennsylvania, licensed under Pennsylvania's Act 59.

A Scranton Recovery Housing Provider

Renewal House provides housing and structure, leaving outpatient care, therapy and medical services to providers elsewhere in the city. The company's role is to keep both of its addresses run to the same standard.

Two Men's Houses in Scranton

Renewal House operates:

• A men's house on Vine Street.
• A men's house on Harrison Avenue.

Both sit on Scranton's east side of the city, within a short drive of each other and of downtown.

A For-Profit Recovery Housing Company

Renewal House operates as a for-profit business, a common structure among Pennsylvania's licensed recovery houses. For-profit status does not change what DDAP requires of a licensed house.

Licensed Under Act 59 at Both Addresses

Both Renewal House properties are licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs as recovery houses under Act 59 of 2017. Licensure is voluntary in Pennsylvania, so carrying it at both addresses is a choice.

One Application, Two Addresses

A man applying to Renewal House is considered for either the Vine Street or Harrison Avenue house, and a transfer between the two is a conversation with an operator that already knows him.

Recovery Housing for Men in Lackawanna County

Both Renewal House addresses sit within Scranton, the seat of Lackawanna County, close to the county courthouse, outpatient treatment providers and COLTS bus routes that most residents rely on before a car is realistic.
