Friendship First

About Friendship First

Friendship First is a sober living operator based in Tullytown, Pennsylvania, running licensed recovery homes across Bucks County, including a second location in Levittown. It is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs as a recovery house operator under Act 59.

A Bucks County Sober Living Operator

Friendship First runs three houses across two Bucks County towns, and the operator handles admissions, fees and house rules across all of them from one office.

Three Sober Homes in Tullytown and Levittown

Friendship First carries the name on three addresses:

• 444 Main Street, Tullytown, for women.
• 412 Main Street, Tullytown, for women.
• 16 Lavender Lane, Levittown, for men.

Two houses on Main Street in Tullytown serve women, and the Lavender Lane house in Levittown serves men, so the operator keeps its men's household and its women's households on separate streets and in separate towns.

Serving Men and Women Separately

Every Friendship First residence is single-gender. A woman applies to one of the two Tullytown houses on Main Street, and a man applies to the Levittown house on Lavender Lane, so bathrooms, house meetings and common space stay single-gender at each address.

Licensed Under Pennsylvania's Act 59

Pennsylvania's Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs licenses recovery houses under Act 59 of 2017, though the license is voluntary and many houses in the state operate without one. Friendship First's current status can be checked directly through the state's recovery house locator, a more reliable record than anything a directory can print.

Serving Bucks County

Tullytown and Levittown sit in lower Bucks County along the US 13 corridor, within reach of Bristol, Langhorne and the Route 1 employment strip, and Friendship First draws from that same area for referrals and applicants across its three houses.

Reaching Friendship First

Applications go through Friendship First at the operator level. Worth asking: which of the three houses has an open bed for the applicant's gender, what the weekly cost covers, and how a transfer between the Tullytown and Levittown houses would work if it were needed.
