38 Oxford Street Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

38 Oxford Street is a men's sober house in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, run by the nonprofit operator Dante's Place in Delaware County.

A Nonprofit Approach to Men's Sober Living

Dante's Place organizes its houses around what it calls C.A.R.E.: compassion, accountability, respect and encouragement. At 38 Oxford Street, that means a House Lead, a peer with months of sobriety, living on site alongside the men in the house and holding everyone to the same expectations.

Act 59 Sober House Licensure for This Dante's Place Home

The house is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs as a recovery house under Act 59 of 2017. Licensure is voluntary in Pennsylvania, and Dante's Place has licensed all three of its houses, going beyond the minimum the law requires.

Outpatient Care Alongside Sober Living On Site

Residents at 38 Oxford Street are expected to participate in outpatient treatment and take on household responsibilities, which the organization describes as the structure a resident needs in the transition between clinical detox and independent living.
