29B South Church Lane Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

29B South Church Lane is a licensed women's recovery house in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, run by the nonprofit Dante's Place in Delaware County.

Structured, Peer-Managed Sober Living

Dante's Place calls sober living the transitional step between clinical detox and returning home, and it builds that transition around a House Lead, a peer with months of sobriety who lives at 29B South Church Lane and holds residents to the organization's expectations.

Outpatient Care and Shared Sober Living Responsibility

Residents at 29B South Church Lane are expected to participate in outpatient treatment elsewhere in the county and to take on household duties, an arrangement that keeps clinical care separate from the housing itself while still holding residents accountable day to day.

Licensed as a Sober House Under Act 59

The house is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, one of three Dante's Place addresses that hold a DDAP license under Act 59 of 2017 even though Pennsylvania does not require it of every recovery house.

A Second Women's Sober House on South Church Lane

Dante's Place runs a second women's house nearby on South Church Lane and a men's house across the borough on Oxford Street, giving 29B South Church Lane's residents an operator with more than one address if a transfer is ever needed.
