The foundation offers a sober living program for men in long-term recovery. Men who have at least 2 years of consistent recovery may apply for a spot in our program, if and when one becomes available. The program provides a fully furnished bedroom in our location in chester, pa access to 24/7 recovery support, and full run of the property (except for corporate offices) including: fully equipped kitchen, laundry, storage, grill and backyard, etc. Living independently with other sober men provides community accountability as our residents build their recovery. Men must apply and be interviewed for the program.
