About this Recovery House
Independence Lodge is a men's sober living home in Croydon, Pennsylvania, in Bucks County. It is one of several recovery homes founded by Bryan Kennedy, who built the organization on his own experience getting sober, and it sits on Dixon Avenue in lower Bucks County.
A Men's Sober House on Dixon Avenue
Independence Lodge houses men in a shared residential setting with bedrooms, common living space and a game room, structured around daily accountability. Dixon Avenue sits in Croydon, a stretch of lower Bucks County a short drive from both Philadelphia and Trenton, which keeps job options and outpatient providers within reach in either direction.
Founded by Someone in Long-Term Recovery
Bryan Kennedy started Independence Lodge after his own recovery from addiction, and that background shapes how the house is run: expectations come from someone who has lived through the same early months a new resident is facing.
Life Skills and Self-Confidence Building
The house frames its work around learning practical life skills and rebuilding self-confidence alongside sobriety, treating steady housing as the foundation the rest of a recovery plan gets built on.
