Licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs.
Licensure means inspected housing, trained staff, written resident rights, a grievance process, and Narcan on site. It is also what allows treatment providers and county agencies to refer to us. Suboxone and Vivitrol are supported through our clinical partnership with Allegheny Health Network.
Read our program standardsStructure in the morning. Community at night.
A recovery meeting every day, outpatient at least three days a week, an 8 PM curfew, and a weekly house meeting where wins get recognized. Our Recovery Points system rewards consistency, and daily peer support connects you to the wider Resource Advocacy Network, so what you build here doesn't stop at the front door.
See a day in the houseNamed for a mother who never got her chance at recovery.
Vera's Place is named for the late Vera R. Williams. We lost her on July 28, 2018, in the middle of her own ongoing battle with substance use and alcoholism. Vera never fully got the chance to begin her recovery journey.
She was small in stature but brave, with a heart of gold. Today she is still breathing life into people, and still a safe haven for those facing the same road. She lives on through her son, Randall, her grandchildren, and every life this house touches.
Hope. Health. Home.
