About First Stop Recovery
First Stop Recovery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, provides no cost or low-cost programs and services to help individuals reclaim their lives after addiction or homelessness. They provide recovery housing to homeless men and women living on the streets, returning from incarceration or residential treatment. They serve clients regardless of their time commitment or financial means.
First Stop Recovery has partnerships with many community organizations to provide their clients with on-site job opportunities, counseling and therapy and more. They believe in embracing a victim to victor mentality and help participants do that in their own lives.
They offer various drop-in meetings such as a daily morning meditation, and NA and AA meetings offered twice a day. I like that these meetings take place in their coffee shop instead of in a traditional white-walled room with folding chairs.
Their programs range from 30 days to 90-120 days. For residential programs, they have semi-private and private rooms based on availability. Former clients say that First Stop Recovery feels like home and made them feel like family.
