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 fellows 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.

I recently finished The Disappearance of Rituals by philosopher Byung-Chul Han. A beautiful, short, and surprisingly unsettling read.

It left me questioning how much of our lives we’ve surrendered to screens, endless information, performative authenticity, and the constant pressure to optimize everything—even rest.

I’m guilty of it myself. I loved the early circus of social media. Now I occasionally fantasize about a flip phone and a house without Wi-Fi.

But what struck me most was how deeply Han’s philosophy connects to addiction recovery and the rituals we’ve intentionally built at Fellowship House.

Have we mistaken constant communication for connection? And exposure for authenticity?

I wrote a personal reflection on the book, our digital addictions, the strange theater of modern life, and why I still find extraordinary meaning sitting in a room with one person trying to recover.

Sometimes the most important life is the one happening right in front of us.

Read my latest blog: The Disappearance of Rituals: When Authenticity Becomes Barbarism.



Joseph A. Van Wie III reflects on Byung-Chul Han, digital life, authenticity, and the rituals that create belonging in addiction recovery.

Congratulations to Cat on completing Crisis Intervention Training! 👏

Thank you, Catherine, for your commitment to compassionate care when people need it most. Stronger partnerships. Safer responses. More pathways to help.

What if the story you’ve been telling yourself isn’t the whole truth?

This week at Fellowship House, we explored perception, reality, and the stories we construct about ourselves.

Our PHP and IOP curricula bring together addiction science, neuroscience, psychology, human development, sociology, philosophy, cultural understanding, and the wisdom of peer-supported recovery movements.

The purpose isn’t simply to deliver information. It’s to help individuals challenge old assumptions, develop emotional awareness, build meaningful relationships, and discover their own pathways toward sustained recovery.

This week’s discussion explored how the brain constructs our perception of reality, how addiction can distort that perception, and how mindfulness and the first three Steps invite us to reconsider control, develop trust, and practice new behaviors.

But perhaps the most meaningful reality is the one we build together.

Through honesty, open-mindedness, tolerance, accountability, and the willingness to make amends, recovery becomes more than an individual pursuit. It becomes a shared human experience.

At Fellowship House, we believe treatment should do more than address substance use. It should help people rediscover their capacity to think critically, connect authentically, repair relationships, and participate meaningfully in life.

Recovery isn’t simply changing what we do. It’s discovering new ways to see ourselves, relate to others, and live.

Real connection changes everything.

🎉 Happy Birthday to our fearless CFO, Dave Enslin!

Dave brings something rare to Fellowship House: a clinician’s heart, a leader’s vision, and the steady hand to help turn our mission into something lasting.

With more than a decade of experience in addiction treatment and clinical leadership, Dave understands that behind every number is a person, a family, and an opportunity for recovery.

We’re grateful for his wisdom, humor, friendship, and commitment to what we’re building together.

Happy Birthday, Dave! Here’s to another trip around the sun and the meaningful work ahead. 💛

AM I ALONE?

What happens when humanity is no longer the smartest thing in the room?

Is AI our greatest existential threat, our best chance of survival—or, given humanity’s history of cruelty, genocide, and class systems, might some argue it should replace us altogether?

My latest essay explores the uncomfortable questions about our species and its future.

Read it. Challenge it.
