Transformation to Recovery

About Transformation to Recovery

Transformation to Recovery is a sober living operator based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, providing certified men's recovery housing in Philadelphia County.

A Faith-Based Sober Living Operator in Philadelphia

Transformation to Recovery runs its recovery housing as a ministry, pairing residents with mentors from a South Philadelphia church as part of the program itself. That structure shapes who the organization suits: someone open to a faith component gets more out of the model than someone looking for a purely secular program.

Certified Through PARR and NARR

The organization's housing is certified through the Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences, the state affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Certification commits the organization to a published code of ethics, written fee and rule disclosure, and a complaint process outside the house, a higher bar than Pennsylvania law requires of any recovery house.

A Structured, Phased Recovery Program

Residents move through a defined multi-phase program, with each phase adding responsibility and community integration as recovery progresses. The structure gives a resident and his family a clear sense of where he stands at any given point.

Serving South Philadelphia and Philadelphia County

Transformation to Recovery's work is based in South Philadelphia, a part of the city with a dense concentration of outpatient providers, courts and transit. Operating from inside that network keeps residents close to the resources a recovery plan typically requires.

Reaching Transformation to Recovery

Applications go through Transformation to Recovery directly. Worth asking upfront: how the program's phases are structured, whether church involvement is required or optional, and what a referral from a treatment provider needs to include.
