Leaders Of Long Term Recovery in Pennsylvania

We combine proven recovery principles with new, innovative techniques to provide one of the most effective programs for young men in the country. At Fellowship House, we provide a design for living that focuses on education and service. We have strong relationships with the twelve universities and vocational schools in the area and ensure that our fel

lows pursue their personal goals while entering sobriety. We also stress independence and responsibility, making sure each individual is financially solid in self and helping to make their community a better place. As a treatment center, Fellowship House offers both residential and outpatient treatment services to individuals and families affected by addiction and alcoholism. We are a DDAP-licensed provider of general outpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization program treatment services, as well as Level of Care Assessments. We offer residential housing for up to forty (40) men between the ages of 18-35, and these patients are then blended with up to seventy (70) ambulatory patients (men and women of all age groups) who reside in Northeast Pennsylvania, for treatment purposes. Each of the residents begins his course of treatment as a PHP patient, next steps down to become an IOP patient, then steps down to become an OP patient, and may finally elect to reside on property for continued sober living. The non-residential patients are enrolled in our PHP, IOP or OP programs, depending on his or her prior treatment and a level of care assessment by our clinical staff. PHP patients experience 38 weekly hours of treatment, which occur largely in group and individual counseling sessions, as well as adventure trek and recreational therapies. IOP patients experience 17 weekly hours of treatment, which also include group counseling and individual counseling, individual counseling and recreational/adventure trek therapies. OP patients experience 10 weekly hours of group and individual counseling. Group sessions are offered three times a day from Monday – Friday. Individual sessions are scheduled and conducted, weekly, according to the schedules of the respective clinicians and patients. Saturdays (and some evenings) are reserved for the recreational therapies and adventure trek components of our program(s). Sundays are reserved for family visits, sessions and closed groups limited only to residential patients.

Big thanks to TPALS and Point Balance Center for hosting another great night of recovery volleyball. Recovery isn’t just meetings and therapy—it’s fellowship, movement, healthy competition, learning to handle conflict, celebrating victories, and doing life together. Everyone had a blast tonight, and while we’re grateful for the community spirit, I should probably mention that Fellowship House is still undefeated. 🏐🔥

Matt Quinn has been a friend, mentor, and someone I’ve relied on for guidance both professionally and personally for many years. Few people earn that kind of trust over decades.

In this article, Matt offers valuable insights into prolonged dependency, developmental milestones, executive functioning, and why some young adults struggle to launch into independence. Parents especially may find it helpful.

Oldie but goodie.

A little over a year ago, I wrote a blog called Backrooms exploring liminal spaces, dissociation, trauma, technology, and the strange feeling of being psychologically “between worlds.”

Fast forward to today, and Backrooms just became a cultural phenomenon, breaking box office records and turning an internet myth into one of the biggest horror films of the year. The film opened at No. 1, setting records for A24 and becoming the biggest debut ever by a first-time filmmaker. (The Guardian)

Maybe the reason the concept resonates isn’t just horror. Maybe it’s because so many people recognize the feeling.

The endless hallways.
The fluorescent lights.
The sense of being disconnected, displaced, and searching for a way back.

Check out the blog and let me know what you think.



There’s a haunting internet myth called The Backrooms. Maybe you’ve heard of it—a liminal, uncanny dreamscape made up of endless yellow hallways, stained carpets, and flickering fluorescent lights. It’s what happens when you “noclip” out of reality, the story goes. You’re trapped in an...

“Psychosis Lite” isn’t a clinical term. It’s something I like to describe as the socially acceptable forms of disassociation we drift into every day. The looping self-talk. The curated identities. The constant stimulation. The subtle separation from embodied reality. Not full psychosis. Something quieter. More normalized. More culturally rewarded.

Yesterday’s lecture focused on anxiety, a condition that often exists long before the first drink, pill, or needle.

More than 40 million American adults live with an anxiety disorder each year, making it one of the most common mental health conditions in the United States. 

What can confuse people outside the experience of addiction is this:

Sometimes substance use disorder is not the origin of the suffering. Sometimes it’s the attempted solution.

For many alcoholics and addicts, substances initially functioned as relief. A way to quiet panic. Slow racing thoughts. Escape dread. Regulate sleep. Feel normal. Feel safe. Feel something.

Over time, the medicine becomes the catastrophe.

Understanding this distinction matters. Because if we only treat the behavior and never explore the pain, fear, trauma, or anxiety beneath it, people often return to the very thing that once gave temporary relief.

Recovery is not simply removing substances.
It’s learning how to live inside your own nervous system again.
