Pure Life Recovery

About Pure Life Recovery

Pure Life Recovery is a sober living operator based in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, running licensed houses across Bucks County. Founded by James and Sarah Crowley, the company operates two sober living homes, one for men and one for women, both licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs.

A Bucks County Sober Living Operator

Pure Life Recovery is a locally run company working in the corridor where its founders live. James and Sarah Crowley describe drawing on personal experience with recovery in building the houses, and a small operator run by its own founders keeps admissions and day-to-day decisions with people who are reachable directly rather than routed through a distant office.

Two Sober Living Homes in Bucks County

Pure Life Recovery runs a men's house on Bristol Pike in Bensalem and a women's house in Bristol Borough, a separate community farther up the same Route 13 corridor. Splitting the houses by gender keeps rules, meetings and shared space built around one population at each address, and having both under one operator means a family with a son and a daughter both in recovery can work with a single company.

DDAP Licensure Across Both Houses

Pure Life Recovery states that both of its sober living homes are licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs. Licensure is voluntary in the state, so an operator that carries it on every house it runs has chosen to work inside DDAP's safety and accountability standards rather than the legal minimum.

What Pennsylvania Recovery Housing Certification Establishes

Separate from DDAP licensure, sober living operators in Pennsylvania can also seek certification through the Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. This guide to certifying a Pennsylvania recovery residence covers what that requires on top of state licensure.

Where This Sober Living Operator Works

The operator's footprint is lower Bucks County along the Route 13 corridor between Bensalem and Bristol Borough, an area with enough transit, outpatient care and job access on Philadelphia's edge to support residents without a move into the city itself.

Reaching Pure Life Recovery in Bensalem, Pennsylvania

Applications go through the operator directly. Worth asking: which house has an opening, what the weekly fee covers, how bedrooms are assigned, and how a transfer between the two houses would work if the first placement is not the right fit.
