Drug & Alcohol Rehab Service

At Manos House, D.A.R.S. Inc., we are dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment for young men to overcome substance use disorders and lead responsible, rewarding lifestyles. Our mission is to help clients change the direction of their lives by providing a positive environment, counseling, and support to facilitate personal growth that encourages clients to live sober, responsible, and truthful lives.

Our History

Manos House was established in 1972 to help young men free themselves from substance use disorders that inhibit them from leading responsible, rewarding lifestyles. By 1975, the program was incorporated as Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Services, Inc., a private, non-profit corporation governed by a board of directors comprised of volunteers from Lancaster and the surrounding community.

Our Programs

We offer three separately licensed programs: Manos House, a residential treatment program for adolescent males; Supervised Independent Living (SIL) Program, which provides a supportive environment for clients to transition back into their communities; and Prospect Grove High School (PGHS), a private academic institution that provides educational services to our clients. Our programs are designed to provide a holistic approach to recovery, addressing the physical, emotional, and psychological needs of our clients.

Our Team

Our supportive and caring staff of counselors, educators, a psychologist, a chaplain, and mentors are experienced and caring professionals with a sincere desire to serve our special population. We maintain a low client-to-staff ratio to ensure that clients receive the time and attention they deserve.

Our Philosophy

We believe in the potential of every young man to be a positive, uplifting, contributing member of his community. Our program is based on the stages of Change Model, which allows clients to openly discuss their substance abuse history and create an individualized treatment experienced based on the clients' needs. We believe that by providing a positive environment, counseling, and support, our clients can overcome their addiction and lead fulfilling lives.
