FAQs
What is Sanctuary House or a Half-way House?
The purpose of Sanctuary House or a halfway house is to serve as a bridge or support network between rehab and independent life. Supported by staff and peers, residents are encouraged to develop life and social skills to better cope with society and recovery.
Halfway housing is designed to support these needs in a structured environment through on-site staff. At Sanctuary House, we have technicians who possess endless hours of training and personal recovery experience, peer support, and credentialed clinical professionals.
Staff work with clients using various programs and approaches, such as linking them with clinical treatment, connecting them to peer support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA), and providing life skills training on site to prepare them for living sober, independently.
Are Half-way houses free, if not what do they cost?
Half-way house stays are not free, the client’s insurance policy may cover the cost of their stay at a half-way house. Sanctuary House accepts Community Care Behavioral Health as well as PA Medical. In some instances the client can contact us to see if we can help with coverage through our local Single County Authority.
