About The Harmony House Foundation

The Harmony House Foundation is a sober living operator based in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, providing coed recovery housing in Luzerne County.

A Nonprofit Sober Living Operator in Wilkes-Barre

Operating as a nonprofit foundation changes the incentives behind a recovery house: there are no outside investors expecting a return, and the organization answers to a board. The foundation puts its resident expectations in writing through a published handbook.

A Published Resident Handbook

Few small recovery-housing operators publish a full resident handbook, and the foundation's willingness to do so gives a prospective resident or family something concrete to review before move-in: what is expected, what leads to discharge, and how disputes get handled.

Public Records for a Pennsylvania Recovery Housing Provider

Pennsylvania does not require a recovery house to hold a license or a certification, and plenty of legitimate nonprofits operate outside either system. The two that exist for an operator that opts in are licensure through the state's Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs and certification through the Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences.

Serving Wilkes-Barre and Luzerne County

As the seat of Luzerne County, Wilkes-Barre concentrates the courts, hospitals and outpatient providers that most of the surrounding Wyoming Valley relies on, and the foundation's work is based in that same city.

Reaching The Harmony House Foundation

Applications and questions go directly to the foundation. Ask for the resident handbook up front, along with the weekly cost and the foundation's policy on relapse and discharge.
