Housing and Shelters

---

MA sober houses offer a structured, substance-free living environment for individuals in recovery from addiction, emphasizing peer support and the development of independent living skills. Unlike licensed recovery residences, these sober houses do not provide clinical treatment but require residents to follow house rules, engage in recovery activities, and often pay rent. By fostering community, accountability, and a sober fellowship, these homes facilitate the transition from treatment programs to long-term sobriety. Additionally, they can be a crucial resource for those seeking emergency shelter assistance or Residential Assistance for Families in Transition.

Shelter is a temporary place to stay as you search for your next living arrangement. There are separate shelter services available, including emergency shelter assistance for individuals and for families with children, including pregnant individuals. Additionally, Residential Assistance for Families in Transition may also be an option. To find out if a bed is available, contact the shelter directly, as they manage their own registration process. Sober houses may also be available for those seeking a supportive environment.
