Plant & Dine at The Cedar House

This week our Cedar House community gathered for a special Earth Day Plant & Dine event. Residents, alumni, and recovery support clients shared a meal and created their own little recovery gardens—planting flowers while decorating signs with messages like “Sober & Growing” and “Grow Through What You Go Through.”

Recovery grows best in community, and it was a beautiful night of connection, creativity, and encouragement.

We also celebrated Matt D. on his 1 year of sobriety — an incredible milestone! 🎉

Keep growing. One day at a time. 🌱

At The Cedar House, we truly value the personal touches when a client is coming out of treatment and arriving here. We know that transition can feel vulnerable, so our goal is to make it as smooth, supportive, and comforting as possible. From the moment they walk through our doors, we want each client to feel welcomed, cared for, and confident as they begin their next steps in recovery. 🖤

Wellness Friday at The Cedar House 🤍
Our residents spent the morning at Float Goat soaking in some well-deserved self-care—float tanks, infrared saunas, cold plunge, red light therapy, and massage chairs. A beautiful way to reset, recharge, and step into the weekend feeling grounded.

April is Alcohol Awareness Month, and it’s an important reminder that alcohol remains the most common substance people struggle with in recovery.

At The Cedar House, the majority of the people we serve come to us because alcohol slowly took control of their lives — careers, relationships, and health.

Alcohol is legal and socially accepted, which often makes the problem harder to recognize until the consequences become serious.

The good news is that recovery doesn’t have to happen alone.

In addition to our residential sober living program, The Cedar House offers Recovery Support Services for individuals who are living independently but want the same level of community, accountability, and support that our residents receive.

These services include:
• Sobriety accountability and support
• Recovery coaching
• Sober outings and activities
• Connection to a strong recovery community

Recovery is not just about quitting drinking — it's about building a life that makes sobriety worth protecting.

Our residents spent time at the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, coming together to give back to the very community that supports us.

There’s something powerful about showing up, working side by side, and being part of something bigger than ourselves. Service not only strengthens our connection with the community—it deepens our own recovery and sense of purpose. ❤️

A fresh start, a peaceful space, and a new chapter ready to unfold 🤍

This beautiful private suite at The Cedar House—with its warm, calming tones and stunning Pittsburgh skyline views—will soon be home to a new resident beginning their recovery journey.

Spaces like this are more than just a room… they’re where healing begins, where routines are rebuilt, and where a life of purpose takes shape.

After working in addiction recovery for almost a decade, I've had the privilege of walking alongside hundreds of people trying to rebuild their lives.

Some were just beginning their journey.
Some had been trying for years.

I've seen people succeed who I never would have predicted… and others struggle when it seemed like everything was lined up for them.

Over time, certain patterns started to stand out.

I wrote a short reflection about what I’ve learned watching hundreds of people get sober.

In recovery, we often talk about rebuilding our lives from the inside out. What sometimes gets overlooked is how powerful the outside world can be in that process. Check out our new blog post about recovery and nature.

Like most of us, I am eagerly awaiting spring. The recent warm days have had me outside assessing the yard and even firing up the grill. As the weather begins

Our Walk & Talk is back for the spring.
A little sunshine, good conversation, and a coffee shop stop along the way. ☕🥤
