Sober Living
Philadelphia
The short answer first, because you are probably not reading this for fun: Eudaimonia does not have a women's house in Philadelphia. Our Philadelphia-area house is men only.
If you are a woman looking for sober living in Philadelphia, that is the thing worth knowing in the first ten seconds rather than after a phone call. The rest of this page is what we can actually offer you: how to judge a women's house here, what to ask, and where our women's houses are if relocating is on the table.
What Eudaimonia has in Philadelphia
One house, for men, at 12 Kern St, PA 19023, in Delaware County just outside the city line. Ten beds across two units. If you are calling on behalf of a man, a son, a brother, a partner leaving treatment, that house is real and you can ask about it on (215) 770-0350.
For women, we have nothing local, and no plan we can promise you a date for. Anyone telling you otherwise about a house they have not opened is selling you something.
How do you judge a women's sober living house?
Philadelphia has a lot of recovery housing and the quality range is enormous. The label on the door tells you very little, so judge the specifics.
Ask who is there overnight. Not whether the house has "support". Who is physically in the building at two in the morning, and what happens if someone uses.
Ask what happens after a relapse. A house with no answer is a house that quietly ignores it, and the reason the other residents can trust the place is that it does not get ignored.
Ask how many people share the room, and get the figure for the room you would be in, not the house's cheapest.
Ask who holds the lease and who runs the house. In a city with this much recovery housing, some of it is one person with a row house and a set of rules nobody enforces.
Visit before you commit money. If you cannot see the room, that is the answer.
What should a women's house have that a men's house might not?
Some of what matters is the same for anyone: a bed, rules, people who notice. Some is not.
Ask how the house handles a resident with children: visitation, whether kids can stay, what the policy actually is rather than what the website says. Ask about the physical security of the building, and who has keys. Ask whether staff have any training in trauma, because a majority of women entering recovery housing are carrying some, and "we are a family here" is not a policy.
None of that requires a house to be women-only. It does require you to ask.
Inside the Philadelphia homes
Where are Eudaimonia's women's houses?
Texas and Colorado. In Austin we run women's houses on Parkfield Drive and Quail Meadow Drive. In Houston there is a women's house in Spring Branch on Jim Street. In San Antonio, Fairway Crest and Bluemist Pass. We also have women's sober living in Colorado Springs.
Rates differ by house and by room, and they change, so the honest answer is to ask admissions for the figure on the room that is actually open rather than trust a number printed on a page that may be months old.
Is it worth moving markets for a bed?
Sometimes, and sometimes not. It is worth considering when the people and places tied to your using are the practical problem, when there is no local bed you would actually feel safe in, or when you have support in one of those cities already.
It is usually a bad idea when you have a job or custody arrangement in Philadelphia that moving would cost you, when your treatment team is here and the handoff matters, or when the move is mostly about getting away from something you would be taking with you anyway.
That is a real decision and it deserves more than a website. Talk to whoever is treating you before you make it.
If you need a bed in Philadelphia this week
Start with whoever is treating you, a discharge planner or a counselor will know which local houses currently have beds and which ones they would put their own client in, which is information no directory has.
If you are not in treatment, Pennsylvania's county drug-and-alcohol offices can point you toward local recovery housing, and SAMHSA's national helpline is 1-800-662-4357, free and staffed around the clock.
Who to call here
If you want to talk through the Texas or Colorado houses, or you are calling about the men's house in the Philadelphia area, apply online or call (215) 770-0350.
And if we are not the right answer for you, say so on the call and ask what else is worth looking at. A house that will only ever recommend itself is telling you something about the house.
