About this Recovery House
Step by Step Houses – Candle Road is a sober house in Levittown, Pennsylvania. Step by Step Houses – Candle Road is a men's recovery home in Levittown, Pennsylvania, licensed by the state as a recovery house. It sits in Bucks County, inside the Levittown planned community that spreads across four lower-county townships, and serves adult men.
A Men's Recovery Home on Candle Road
The house serves men in recovery on a residential Levittown street of postwar single-family homes with yards and sidewalks. Levittown was laid out in named sections whose streets share an initial letter, and Candle Road belongs to that pattern. A resident gets a quiet block a short distance from the New Falls Road and Route 13 corridors, where the buses, the shops and most of the area's entry-level employment are.
DDAP Licensure at This Levittown Sober Living Home
The address holds a full recovery house license from the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, which licenses recovery houses under Act 59 of 2017 and has licensed this one since 2024. Licensure in Pennsylvania is voluntary. A licensed house has agreed to inspection and to written standards on fees, house rules, resident rights and discharge, and it stays subject to state review afterward. That is a record an applicant or a family can verify from outside the house.
What Step by Step Houses Runs Into Its Sober Homes
The operator applies one template across its Bucks County houses:
- Random drug and breathalyzer testing.
- A blackout period for new residents.
- A weekly Sunday evening house meeting.
- An on-site house leader active in a 12 step program.
- Four resident-prepared house meals each week.
- Laundry, cable, wi-fi and phone access included.
Cognitive behavioral therapy and medication-assisted treatment both sit inside what the operator works with, so prescribed medication for opioid use disorder is compatible with living here.
Recovery Housing in Lower Bucks County
Levittown is unincorporated, split among Bristol, Middletown, Falls and Tullytown townships, and it holds a large share of lower Bucks County's population. That density is what makes it workable for someone in early recovery: bus routes on the main roads, a SEPTA station serving the community, a hospital in Langhorne and outpatient treatment spread through the townships. Doylestown, further north, is the county seat and the location of the courthouse.
Applying to This Bucks County Recovery Home
Placement runs through Step by Step Houses, which houses men and women across several addresses in Levittown, Croydon and Bensalem. An applicant is considered against the whole group. The questions worth asking are the ordinary ones: what the weekly fee covers, how long the blackout period runs, what the house expects on employment and 12 step attendance, and what the written policy says about relapse.
