Transitional Recovery Home In Lancaster PA
Who We Are
At Holistic House, we are more than just a sober living home in Lancaster, PA; we are a community built on God, Order, Simplicity, Health, Growth. Our mission is simple: to help residents rebuild their lives by becoming stronger mentally, physically, and spiritually.
We believe recovery is not just about removing substances; it’s about creating a life worth living.
A Different Approach to Recovery
Many recovery environments focus heavily on just removing drugs and alcohol. At Holistic House, we take a fully integrated, root cause approach. We understand that true, lasting sobriety comes from aligning the mind, body, and spirit.
Our philosophy is rooted in one powerful statement:
The expectation is simple: rebuild your standards, or nothing changes.
This belief shapes everything we do: our structure, cleanliness, levels of respect, weekly house meetings, guest speakers and overall culture. We help residents redefine their standards so they can learn to expect more from themselves, their relationships, their jobs and their life.
Our Story
Holistic House was founded by Andrew Acklin and Erin Gattuso, who both bring unique perspectives and deep experience in recovery and holistic health.
Drew’s journey to sobriety began when he discovered strength training. What started as a physical outlet became a complete transformation, helping him rewire his mindset, build discipline, and overcome addiction. With over 10 years of experience as a holistic strength coach, Drew has helped hundreds of individuals elevate their lives physically and mentally.
Erin’s background in mental health and naturopathic medicine gives Holistic House a deeper understanding of healing beyond traditional systems. Her experience working in clinical settings revealed gaps in how recovery is approached, leading her to pursue alternative, more holistic methods of care.
Together, they created Holistic House to offer something different, a place where residents don’t just stay sober, but actually grow.
A Community Built On Growth
One of the most powerful aspects of Holistic House is the community. Residents are surrounded by like-minded people who are committed to improving their lives.
This isn’t just shared housing; it’s unity.
Residents support each other through challenges, celebrate wins together, and hold each other accountable to a higher standard. This environment creates strong bonds and a sense of belonging that is essential for long-term recovery.
