A structured home for men rebuilding after treatment.
Shared bedrooms with two single beds each, a full kitchen, dining room, living room, a computer room for job searches, and a fenced back patio. A house manager on site, and a house meeting every week.
Men coming from treatment, ready to do the work.
Residents come directly from inpatient (residential) drug and alcohol treatment, committed to sobriety, and willing to participate in the program. Suboxone and Vivitrol are supported through our clinical partnership with Allegheny Health Network; methadone is not supported within the residence.
Vera's Place does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, or disability.
$655 a month. Nothing else.
Rent is $655 per month per bed, due on the 1st. There is no application fee, no security deposit, and no program fee. Drug screenings are at no charge. Paid by money order, bank transfer, Zelle, or certified check.
If money will be a problem, tell staff before a payment is missed; a written payment plan is available.
What a week looks like.
Every day
One AA/NA or approved recovery meeting. Chores. Home by the 8 PM curfew.
Three days a week or more
Outpatient treatment, on a schedule your work has to fit around, not the other way round.
Every week
The house meeting: announcements, concerns, and recognition of recovery wins. Attendance is required.
Your first 72 hours
Settling in. No job searching yet. Then part-time work, then full-time once you've shown stability, with schedules approved by staff.
Money
Save 20% of every paycheck toward your own place. Report income honestly.
Recovery Points
Earn points for meetings, outpatient, chores, work progress, and milestones. Redeem them for privileges and recognition.
