Together, we’ve made it our mission to change the way addiction and mental health support and recovery are approached in the United States. If you have any questions at all, please call me directly.”

“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.”

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.

The Manor of Hope is not a typical 30 day rehab where recidivism is practically guaranteed. Instead Steve and his staff take a long-term approach to complete behavior modification so when residents depart they are fully prepared to integrate successfully back into society with all the necessary tools and support to maintain sobriety. The ratio of staff to residents is very high allowing for individual attention.
Programs include career training and counselling, personal financial management training, and courses in computer training. There is an onsite gym and room for families to visit. In short, this is all about 24/7 support.
Having witnessed the results for a close relative, I can tell you that if you’ve become frustrated with revolving door facilities, I encourage you to contact Steve and find out for yourself that hope truly exists.

For any person that is struggling with the battle of addiction whether it be drugs or alcohol, you owe it to yourself to evaluate the Manor of Hope. I'm the family member of a Manor of Hope patient and I can't say enough good things about this organization.
The sober living house "business-model" became a cottage industry in the early 2000s with homes popping up all over the country to cash-in on an addicted America. My personal experience has shown me that many of these homes were established to benefit the owner/investor of the home, not the patients that inhabited it.
The Manor of Hope was different. Started by a loving father who watched his son struggle, Steve Killelea started the Manor of Hope to help young men stuck in the cycle of addiction. The year-long program helps heal the body, mind and spirit. In addition, The Manor of Hope is staffed by people that genuinely care about the patients that come through the door. You feel empathy the minute you step through the door and meet with the staff.
In addition, after the year program is complete, there is an alumni house that patrons can move to, to ensure their reentry into society is smooth and successful.
To any family members out there that have lost hope for their loved one, pick up the phone and call the Manor of Hope. You will be so glad that you did.

Before coming to Manor of Hope I was unable to work or go a day without using drugs and I was homeless. Now I work over thirty hours a week and have been clean for almost a year. I have a stable place to live and have no issues paying my bills or wondering where my next meal is coming from.
