About Alternative Counseling Associates
Alternative Counseling Associates (ACA House) helps adult men recover from drug and alcohol addiction through a supportive sober living house in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. They serve men who have completed inpatient treatment and are ready for the next step. What makes ACA House unique is that while they do not provide Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), they welcome men who are currently using MAT as part of their recovery.
Guiding Men Through the Next Step in Sobriety
ACA House focuses on healing the whole person—mentally, physically, and spiritually. Their program includes weekly individual sessions, daily group therapy, family meetings, relapse prevention, and pet therapy. The 12-Step approach is central, helping residents grow in confidence, responsibility, and purpose. These therapies give clients the tools they need for long-term sobriety and personal growth.
A Secure Place to Rebuild and Thrive
Residents live in structured, substance-free homes with clear rules and supportive staff. Everyone is expected to stay sober, attend meetings, and either work or pursue education. The homes offer a safe and stable environment where men in recovery can rebuild their lives, learn life skills, and support each other as they move forward.

Conditions We Treat
Anger
Although anger itself isn't a disorder, it can get out of hand. If this feeling interferes with your relationships and daily functioning, treatment can help.
Trauma
Some traumatic events are so disturbing that they cause long-term mental health problems. Those ongoing issues can also be referred to as "trauma."
Substances We Treat
Alcohol
Using alcohol as a coping mechanism, or drinking excessively throughout the week, signals an alcohol use disorder.
Co-Occurring Disorders
A person with multiple mental health diagnoses, such as addiction and depression, has co-occurring disorders also called dual diagnosis.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is the excessive and repetitive use of substances, despite harmful consequences to a person's life, health, and relationships.
