“My son went through 47 rehabs until we found Manor of Hope. He wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for this program.”-Anthony
Wildflower Honey is harvested from beehives located on our campus, where we teach residents to extract, bottle, and sell our local honey.
Why honey? Our men learn how to nurture and care for the hives and how to manufacture and sell a product. This experience teaches them business and manufacturing skills, and is just one of the unique programs here at Manor of Hope!
Our Executive Chef, Andrew Deery has curated a collection of unique flavored honey with organic ingredients. Purchase a sampler pack to try them all!
“The Manor of Hope is a home. It’s a family of a group of talented young men finding their way back to healthy, sober living.”

In my experience, Steve’s approach feels unpredictable and heavily based on rewards and punishments. Whatever the intention, I’ve found it belittling toward people with mental health issues, as though their symptoms are an act or something they could overcome by simply “manning up.”
Among residents I’ve known who are struggling with substance use, I haven’t seen much lasting improvement. I can’t speak for everyone’s outcomes, but that raises concerns for me about the support provided.
The program may be a better fit for people who are already stable in their recovery and mainly want a sober living environment. For people who need more substantial support, I would encourage carefully comparing the care offered and the cost with other options.

Don’t make a mistake going to this place I sent my son there and he didn’t do anything all the stuff they advertised saying oh he can get a job all that etc but they wouldn’t let him and he was almost there for a month they wouldn’t help him get his permit and they said oh we can take him to the dmv and they never helped him with anything the only thing he did was wood shop he said it was pretty dumb and pointless it’s like three hours just working with wood it just wasn’t his thing and I can understand that he likes physical work not sitting down sanding wood etc but make sure you guys check out other places because it’s 7500 dollars a month which is crazy and it’s just like a regular house there’s nothing there in a month that’s 7500 it’s insanity he just cares about the money I feel like take care parents make sure you check other places like phps there way cheaper and offer way more take care people make the right choice before you go bankrupt sending a loved 1 or a friend here and all the photos you see on there web are taken five years ago the wooden floors on the main floor in there disgusting they don’t even take care of they’re housing they just want your money also phps are covered by your insurance even after the insurance cuts off you get dropped down to iop and then you can find a job start paying rent and still go to group to talk about addiction and talk to your therapist some iops only ask for 150-175 a week how much better does that sound then 7500$s for 1 month that insurance dosent even cover you do and get more out of phps then you do at the manor

Our son was at Manor of Hope in 2025. Our son had been to several rehabs/residential treatment centers/sober living facilities over the past few years. We talked to Steve and his staff about their innovative program that they were running at Manor of Hope. We saw that it was not only addiction and/or mental health issues they were addressing but matters such as finances, work and community that they were also setting up once the client was stable enough for the real world. The program is small, so your loved one is not just a number filling a bed. Steve and his team, through this unique program take getting your loved one healthy again, personally.

The Manor has thoughtful staff and a comprehensive mental health treatment program utilizing groups and counselors along with outside psychiatrists and therapists. I grew a lot over the two years I spent in the program with time spent at their main house and a graduate house. Manor of Hope also addresses drug and alcohol abuse along with other addictions. As a final note, I would recommend Chef Andrew and counselors John and Scott.

My son recently completed a 12-month treatment program at the Manor of Hope and his recovery from substance use issues is nothing short of miraculous due largely in part to the care he received at the Manor from Steve Killelea and his staff of highly skilled counselors. Every parent's nightmare is watching your kid battle the demons that mental illness and drugs unleash on them. Long care treatment facilities like the Manor work better to treat addiction than the short-term, for-profit institutions that fail more often than not to help those suffering from these illnesses. My current relationship with my son is night and day as Steve has helped to guide him into adulthood. Steve not only helped my son but counseled my wife and I on how to deal with my boy as he transitions back to family life. I am profoundly grateful and thankful to have crossed paths with Steve and the Manor of Hope and highly recommend the long-term care and treatment programs that the Manor can offer to those suffering from addiction and mental illness.

The Manor of Hope is making a huge difference in our son’s life. We were desperate and needed help for our son, who is on the autistic spectrum. Steve took our son under his wing, and now he is learning how to live independently, slowly but surely. We did not think an independent life would be possible for him. Steve and our son’s mentor, along with the other staff are teaching him skills that will last a lifetime. He recently was hired for a part-time job and is enrolled in a college course. The professionals that Steve have connected our son with, such as his psychiatrist and therapist, are excellent.
The Manor of Hope has so many opportunities. Our son is learning how to cook through a weekly culinary class. He is taking care of a garden, and has a personal trainer and is working out on a regular basis He is always busy which is great for him. He also has structure. They take him on day trips and excursions. Our son is enjoying life and is happy.
We are so thankful we have found Steve and the Manor of Hope. We were at the end of a very dark path and didn’t know where to turn. Our son’s life is now full, and he is growing and maturing every day. He is respectful towards us and is learning boundaries. All things we couldn’t have achieved when he was home. He needs the Manor of Hope and he is also grateful for his time there.

I recently celebrated 6+ months of sobriety. This is the longest I’ve been sober since about 16 years old (and I’m 61 now). I’ve been to at least 5 other residential rehabs and sober livings in the past 20 years (including some famous ones in Los Angeles and Malibu). I’ve had short times of sobriety, but Manor of Hope is the only place that has given me the motivation to want to stay sober and the best skills to learn how to. I didn’t come here because I wanted to. I left the west coast specifically to come here. I had nowhere else to go because none of my family members would not allow me to stay with them. My wife helped me find Manor of Hope and I agreed to come here because it seemed the most different from other places where I’d tried to get sober that never worked for me. We called the owner (Steve), and it was so easy to get hold of him and he was immediately concerned. He spent a lot of time talking to us. I was very anxious but after flying across the country to meet him, and never seeing The Manor, he personally picked me up at the airport and he started to make me feel a little better.
I’ve almost always been able to keep a job and take care of my family, so I thought that meant I didn’t think I have a real problem and I would blame others for trouble I got into as result of my drinking.. Now after my months here in intensive therapy from the best doctors and out patient care I’ve ever had, I realize the seriousness of my problem that might be even another diagnosis, too, that would not be found if I didn’t have this great team here. I’ll be working through this for the rest of my life, but for the first time, I actually want to get better and I am thinking better.
I’m learning to try to like myself, and how to live without alcohol (not just abstain, but enjoy to live without it). I’m participating in activities at The Manor like book club, music lessons, dharma, a personal trainer, cooking lessons, movie nights, all are included activities. I can’t believe Steve got me to read a book (and like it)! I’ve also learned about beekeeping and gardening. And I’ve met and live with a great bunch of guys who have become my friends. I can’t believe I’m doing my own laundry and cleaning my bathroom, but it’s strange that as a result, I feel needed and am happy to feel that I contribute to this community. The house is very nice, clean and peaceful, on a lot of land where I can walk, think and meditate. The Schuylkill river is nearby. I can walk along it. and I have tried kayaking with some of the guys. I’m doing a lot of things I haven’t done in a long time and even new things. It’s really beautiful here. Sometimes Steve or another staff member takes us into Philly for the day and we go to a museum or just walk around together. Or we’ll have a pizza night at a local place. There are plans to volunteer at some places too and I’m looking forward to that. It’s really nice to spend time with these guys.
Steve found my therapists for me, and takes me to my appointments so I don’t have to worry about transportation. He knows the best doctors, outpatient care, and meetings. I also have a space to work remotely so I have kept my job. Some of my younger friends here are learning new things like woodworking and computer skills and how to interview so that they can get good new jobs and are learning to have hope for families of their own. A lot of the guys that have been here are also now my friends and do have jobs and good careers and families.
Steve also updates my wife on how I’m doing. I miss my family a lot, but know this is where I need to be for now. I’m pretty sure if I wasn’t here, I’d be homeless or even worse.
Question: “Is your Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Center near me?”
