Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences

The Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences (PARR) was founded in 2011 out of the need to evaluate and monitor standards-based recovery support services provided in community-based, residential settings throughout Pennsylvania. Although an independent 501c3 nonprofit organization in it’s own right, PARR is also the Pennsylvania Affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences (NARR). PARR’s mission is to ensure that persons in recovery have a successful recovery journey by empowering them with education and connections, magnifying their voice through advocacy and celebration, and certifying that their residence meets national standards of quality and care. We also assist recovery partners in securing and maintaining State licensing through consultation, training and problem solving. PARR is dedicated to ensuring that individuals in recovery can find safe and supportive housing in the State of Pennsylvania. Our alliance provides guidance and a variety of resources to Recovery Residence providers to ensure that residents who live in PARR certified houses have the very best chances of succeeding in their recovery journey.
