True Light

About True Light

True Light is a Christian recovery nonprofit based in Levittown, Pennsylvania, providing sober living and recovery support for women in Bucks County. Tracey Long founded the organization in 2015 after her own recovery, building it around a mission of restoring women whose histories include addiction, abuse and sexual exploitation.

A Faith-Based Recovery Housing Provider

True Light runs as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit governed by a board of community leaders and field mentors, with Long serving as CEO. The organization frames its work around love, forgiveness and empowerment, and it pairs stable housing with counseling, mentoring and connections to outside therapists and ministers rather than running a clinical program itself.

Recovery Support Built Around Trauma

Unlike a general sober living operator, True Light designs its program specifically for women recovering from the combination of addiction, abuse and sexual exploitation. That focus shapes staffing, referral relationships and the kind of resident the program is built to serve, and it is the detail an applicant should confirm fits their own situation before applying.

Serving Bucks County Women

True Light's housing and support work is centered in Levittown, one of Bucks County's largest communities and a short reach from Doylestown, the county seat, and from Philadelphia across the county line. That location keeps residents within range of outpatient providers, courts and entry-level work across lower Bucks County.

What Pennsylvania Certification Means for an Operator Like This

Pennsylvania runs a voluntary licensing system through the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs and a separate certification track through the Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Either credential commits an operator to a written code of ethics and disclosed fees and rules, though neither is required by law in Pennsylvania.

Reaching True Light

Applications go through True Light directly. Given the organization's specific focus, the questions worth asking are about fit as much as logistics: how the Christian framework shapes daily program life, what trauma-informed support looks like in practice, and how long a typical resident stays before transitioning out.
