19 Oxford Street Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

19 Oxford Street is a men's sober house in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, in Delaware County, licensed under the state's Act 59 recovery house program. It is one of seven men's sober houses that 79 Blueridge Dr. LLC operates along the same stretch of Oxford Street in the borough's western end.

A Men's Sober House on Oxford Street

The house serves adult men in recovery. Oxford Street itself is a residential block of rowhouses and small single-family homes a short walk from Lansdowne's business district, so a resident can reach a corner store, a bus stop, or a neighbor's porch without a car on day one.

Sober House Licensure Under Pennsylvania's Act 59

Pennsylvania does not require every recovery house to carry a state license. The license at 19 Oxford Street means the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs reviewed the house's policies on resident rights, grievances and discharge, and it puts the house on a state inspection schedule.

Part of a Larger Oxford Street Sober Living Cluster

79 Blueridge Dr. LLC runs six other men's houses on the same street and four more for women on nearby South Church Lane. A resident who needs a different set of housemates, or simply a change of scenery, can ask the operator about a move within its network of DDAP-licensed sober houses.

Recovery Housing in Lansdowne and Delaware County

The borough has its own SEPTA Regional Rail station, and residents at 19 Oxford Street can reach Center City Philadelphia without owning a car, which matters for anyone rebuilding a work schedule after treatment.
