Fellowship House Call 1-888-HELP-120 to schedule an assessment today. We believe that recovery extends beyond treatment and meetings and into real life.

Leaders Of Long Term Recovery in Pennsylvania

We combine proven recovery principles with new, innovative techniques to provide one of the most effective programs for young men in the country. At Fellowship House, we provide a design for living that focuses on education and service. We have strong relationships with the twelve universities and vocational schools in the area and ensure that our fel

lows pursue their personal goals while entering sobriety. We also stress independence and responsibility, making sure each individual is financially solid in self and helping to make their community a better place. As a treatment center, Fellowship House offers both residential and outpatient treatment services to individuals and families affected by addiction and alcoholism. We are a DDAP-licensed provider of general outpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization program treatment services, as well as Level of Care Assessments. We offer residential housing for up to forty (40) men between the ages of 18-35, and these patients are then blended with up to seventy (70) ambulatory patients (men and women of all age groups) who reside in Northeast Pennsylvania, for treatment purposes. Each of the residents begins his course of treatment as a PHP patient, next steps down to become an IOP patient, then steps down to become an OP patient, and may finally elect to reside on property for continued sober living. The non-residential patients are enrolled in our PHP, IOP or OP programs, depending on his or her prior treatment and a level of care assessment by our clinical staff. PHP patients experience 38 weekly hours of treatment, which occur largely in group and individual counseling sessions, as well as adventure trek and recreational therapies. IOP patients experience 17 weekly hours of treatment, which also include group counseling and individual counseling, individual counseling and recreational/adventure trek therapies. OP patients experience 10 weekly hours of group and individual counseling. Group sessions are offered three times a day from Monday – Friday. Individual sessions are scheduled and conducted, weekly, according to the schedules of the respective clinicians and patients. Saturdays (and some evenings) are reserved for the recreational therapies and adventure trek components of our program(s). Sundays are reserved for family visits, sessions and closed groups limited only to residential patients.

A fresh piece just landed in The Mandala Room. An exploration of what makes a place, a moment, a life… sacred. Not in the distant, untouchable sense, but in the lived, human sense. The kind you can feel in a room full of truth, in a conversation that costs you something, in the decision to stay.

“The sacred is not found. It’s revealed the moment we stop lying to ourselves.”

This one walks the line between psychology, recovery, and something older than both. If you’ve ever wondered why certain spaces heal, and others don’t, this is worth your time.

When I was sixteen, I found myself in a reformatory boot camp, South Mountain, Pennsylvania. It was a strange place to end up for a kid who liked oil painting, pot smoke, and the music of the sixties and seventies. Overnight, I was stripped of all that. My head was shaved. I was woken at 3 a.m. to p...

Earlier this week, we had the privilege of presenting on our services and admission process to the incredible team at Fellowship House in Scranton, PA.

We had a great conversation about how we can collaborate in the future to better support our community. I also got a wonderful tour, learned so much about the important work they do, and met the dedicated staff who show up every day to help men struggling with Substance Use Disorder. Truly inspiring.

Huge thank you to Joe and Becky for the opportunity!

And I have to add—this place has some of the most unique office decor I’ve ever seen.

Grateful to Patrick Flynn for spearheading this effort and refusing to treat this like a single-lane issue. This is what it looks like when enforcement, research, treatment, and policy actually work together—where public health and public safety meet.

Thank you as well to Brian Gallagher and the entire Scranton City Council for stepping forward today. What’s happening here isn’t symbolic—it’s real, and it matters.

Because when something is marketed as refuge but becomes another door into suffering, we have a responsibility to act.

Today is about protecting lives. And that’s work worth doing.

Local leaders are proposing a ban on Kratom sales, citing addiction concerns related to the over-the-counter drug.

Monday nights just got a little bigger.

This spring, Fellowship House becomes an observatory.

We step outside.
We look up.
We remember.

Early recovery is not just abstinence. It’s embodiment. It’s feeling your feet on the ground, your breath in your chest, your place in something vast and alive. The same universe that forged the stars runs through you. You’re not separate from it. You never were.

Addiction narrows the world. Screens flatten it.
But the night sky… it opens everything back up.

Every Monday, we reconnect.
With nature. With each other. With something ancient and honest.

No filters. No noise. Just awe.

Come stand under the sky with us.

Recovery is possible. We see it every day.
But let’s be honest—recovery doesn’t last on hope alone. It needs something steadier… something built.

At Fellowship House Foundation, we believe stability is what makes recovery stick.

For years, quietly and without spotlight, we’ve stepped in where it matters most—
covering scholarships, co-pays, housing gaps, transportation, and the everyday life skills that turn sobriety into a life worth staying sober for.

This isn’t charity.
It’s structure. It’s dignity. It’s a second chance that actually has legs.

Now we’re opening that door wider.

You can become a partner in this work—helping secure the kind of stability that carries someone from early recovery… into a future they can stand on.

Take a look at the outcomes. Read the stories. You’ll feel it.

We’re building something that lasts.

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Fellowship House ☘️

What is St. Patrick’s Day, really?

It is the story of immigration.
The story of shared culture, shared message, shared identity.
A story of people who refused to stay small and used faith, art, and community to push back against tyranny and shape something greater than themselves.

That spirit did not stay in Ireland.
It crossed oceans. It lives here now.

Today, St. Patrick’s Day has become something bigger.
A voice for the underdog.
A reminder that culture can unify.
That people, when connected, can overcome.

At Fellowship House, we see that same truth every day.

Recovery begins with a paradox.

You arrive into this world without effort, yet somewhere along the way you are told you are on your own.
That your problems are yours alone to carry.

That idea of separation keeps people stuck.

Real accountability, real freedom, does not come from isolation.
It comes from becoming part of something larger.

A group.
A purpose.
A shared belief in something beyond yourself.

The most powerful forces humans have ever created are not physical.
They are abstract.

Justice.
Virtue.
Connection.
The rebellion against coercion.

These forces shape nations.
They also shape recovery.

This is our culture.

A place where men come together not just to get sober, but to build lives with agency, meaning, and direction.

A place where freedom is not doing whatever you want.
It is becoming someone worth being accountable to others for.

Today, we remember.

We are not separate.
We are part of something ongoing.
Generations behind us. Generations ahead.

And in that connection, we find something real.

Freedom.

☘️ One Ireland. One community. One mission.

Recovery is more than putting the drink or drug down—it’s the beginning of rebuilding a life.

Amir came to Fellowship House searching for a way out. Today, he’s back in his professional life as a nurse and pursuing more advanced schooling. Sobriety was the first step… but reclaiming purpose, agency, and community—that’s where the real adventure begins.

His story is just one of more than 800 testimonials of recovery from the Fellowship House community.

A new chapter is coming.

From day one, Fellowship House has believed that recovery is about more than abstinence. It’s about restoring dignity, building life skills, and creating real upward mobility.

Through our nonprofit foundation, we’ve quietly helped many fellows with housing costs, copays, transportation, and essential life-skill development when they needed it most. These efforts were first aimed at supporting those relying on Medicaid, but increasingly we’ve seen that people from every background can face moments where support matters.

The world is changing rapidly. Technology, AI, and economic uncertainty are reshaping the job market and the path to stability for many Americans.

We believe recovery programs must stay ahead of that curve.

Soon we will be launching the Fellowship House Foundation website, along with community outreach events and educational resources designed to strengthen long-term recovery and opportunity.

Recovery should not just restore lives.
It should help people build a better future.

Stay tuned.
