What is Our Program?
PNLH developed this level of care back in the late 1990’s early 2000’s as a way to support long term recovery for persons needing supportive housing in early recovery. DOP program offers recovery housing while also providing you with weekly group therapy, individual sessions by a master’s prepared therapist at least weekly, case management and peer recovery support (as requested). (During COVID19, these services are conducted via video conferencing software PNLH has purchased. Most of our housing units have WIFI and some laptops furnished by PNLH to expedite video conferencing). When services are back on site, PNLH’s shuttle van drives to and from the housing locations located about 10 minutes away from the office, to bring clients to the office and return them to home after their sessions are completed.
What Does the building look like – where will I be staying?
The spacious apartments are typically 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and each unit has 4 people max (for a 2- bedroom, 2 people per room). NO bunk beds are used at PNLH.

PNLH will provide the linen, towels, pillows, toilet paper, paper towel and cooking and eating utensils at the housing units.
