We Provide Recovery Scholarships and Other 'First Helps'

Recovery Scholarships are available for qualified individuals seeking support in their recovery.   Typically, qualified recipients are from Delaware County (or Philadelphia's surrounding counties) who are currently in treatment,  are financially vulnerable and demonstrate a willingness to work a solid recovery program (e.g. AA/NA).   We provide qualified recipients with support including, but not limited to food, housing, transportation, clothing, advocacy etc.   How can we assist you?  See our scholarship application on the HOW WE HELP tab.  Recovery homes are meant to provide a structured, secure residence for those who can't /shouldn't go home after treatment is completed. 

We Help Families Navigate Treatment Options

We are not a treatment center;   however, we have worked with and recommended a variety of treatment centers and options for those we serve.  After all -  It's not a one-size -fits -all system.  The Foundation supports families and individuals with finding treatment resources in the community even if you have no insurance.  See some of the treatment centers we recommended here.  


Looking for Treatment Centers in Philadelphia area?  Consider: 

Mirmont Treatment Center - Media, PA

Recovery Centers of America -- Devon, PA and Multiple Locations

We Provide Narcan Supplies
