Frequently Asked Questions

Is Renewal Sober Homes right for me?

If you have completed addiction treatment and would like to separate yourself from your regular living environment to connect with other people on their recovery journey, sober living may be the right choice for you.

Like all sober living homes, Renewal Sober Homes offers accountability, structure, community and support for those who hope to achieve long-term sobriety.

Do you offer addiction treatment?

Renewal Sober Homes of Philadelphia is a sober living residence. We do not offer addiction treatment, we instead provide housing to those who have recently completed addiction treatment.

If you are unfamiliar with sober living, we created a page detailing everything you need to know about sober living and how it helps prevent relapse.

How do I attend a recovery home?

If you have decided you want to take the next step on your journey and attend a recovery home, you must be referred from an addiction treatment facility such as rehab, detox, outpatient center etc.

As a recovery residence, our housing is only available to those who have suffered from substance abuse and would like to learn accountability and independence to prepare for long-term sobriety.

How long can I stay?

The maximum amount of time an individual can stay with us is about a year to a year and a half depending on the individual’s specific situation. 

Can I have a job and a vehicle?

We require a two week blackout period before being allowed to start or continue work. For vehicles, you may have one after 30 days.

Can I have visitors?

We only allow immediate family into our living spaces. These visits must be on weekends at scheduled times, made prior to your family member’s visit.

What are the living conditions like at Renewal Sober Homes?

We are well aware of and have even experienced being trapped in neglected sober homes. At Renewal Sober Homes, we put the comfort and safety of our guests first priority. All living quarters are deep cleaned and spotless for incoming residents. We make sure our housing is never overcrowded and check in on our residents to make sure each and every one is safe and comfortable.
