About this Recovery House
Serpentine Sober Living House is a men's sober living home in Levittown, Pennsylvania, operated by Step by Step Houses. Levittown is a large planned community in Bucks County, and this house stands on Serpentine Lane under a full state recovery house license.
A Men's Sober Living House on Serpentine Lane
The house serves men, and it asks more of an applicant on arrival than most sober living does. Serpentine Lane sits inside one of Levittown's residential sections, on the curving street plan the community was built with in the early 1950s.
Six Months of Recovery Time Before This Sober House
Step by Step Houses requires residents of this house to have at least six months of recovery time and to be actively working a 12 step program. That entry bar defines the household. Everyone living here has already cleared the first and hardest stretch, so the house functions as a stable long-term address for men consolidating a recovery that is underway. Anyone coming straight out of detox belongs in a more structured placement, and the operator runs other houses for that.
Licensed Recovery Housing in Levittown
The Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs licenses recovery houses under Act 59 of 2017, and this address carries a full license. Licensure is voluntary in Pennsylvania, which makes a license a decision the operator made instead of a box it had to tick. It obliges written rules and fees, a documented relapse and discharge policy, resident rights on paper, and continuing state inspection. Those documents are the right thing to ask for before a deposit changes hands.
Daily Life in These Bucks County Sober Homes
Testing is random. New arrivals serve a blackout period. The house meets Sunday evenings, and an on-site house leader who is active in a 12 step program handles the daily running of the household. Residents prepare four house meals a week together, and laundry, cable, wi-fi and phone are covered. The operator also works with cognitive behavioral therapy and medication-assisted treatment, so a resident on a prescribed medication for opioid use disorder keeps it.
Sober Living in a Community of Named Sections
Levittown is not a borough. It spreads across Bristol, Middletown, Falls and Tullytown townships in lower Bucks County, and it is organized into named sections whose streets share an initial letter, which is why a Bucks County address can be Serpentine Lane and still be Levittown. The practical consequence for a resident is scale: tens of thousands of people, bus service on the main roads, a SEPTA station at Levittown, a hospital in Langhorne and outpatient providers spread through the township. The county courthouse is in Doylestown.
Applying to This Levittown Recovery Home
Applications go through Step by Step Houses. Given the six month requirement, the first questions are about fit: how the house verifies recovery time, what active 12 step participation means in practice, what the weekly fee includes, and how long most residents stay. A house set up for men further along in recovery should be able to describe what a successful exit looks like.
