A Letter From Our Founder

With more than 30 years of experience in senior healthcare leadership, I could never have anticipated the profound impact the pandemic would have on our communities—especially the heartbreaking rise in addiction among older adults.

Guided by a lifelong mission to nurture Minds, Bodies, and Souls, my path naturally expanded toward helping individuals rebuild their lives through recovery. As I recognized the lack of high-quality aftercare—particularly housing designed for working professionals, older adults, and those with mobility limitations—I set out to create something different: a place where comfort, dignity, and healing could truly coexist.

That vision became The Cedar House Recovery in Pittsburgh—a sanctuary designed to support recovery through exceptional care, beautiful surroundings, and a sense of belonging.

From the beginning, finding the right team was essential. Shane Dushack joined with the expertise, heart, and leadership that brought this vision to life. With more than a decade of experience in recovery coaching and adventure therapy, Shane embodies the compassion and strength that define The Cedar House. Under his guidance, clients not only achieve lasting recovery but rediscover the joy and fullness of life.

Today, The Cedar House stands as a reflection of that original dream—a place of restoration, balance, and hope. I’m deeply proud of what we’ve built, and of every life that continues to be renewed within our walls.

With warmth and gratitude,
Scott Fox
Founder, The Cedar House Recovery
