A structured, shared Level 2 sober living home for men, with a House Manager who is a Peer Recovery Coach. This is a male-specific home. We also have rooms available in other women-only homes, so please reach out. The home is in the North End / Middle Woodward area, near historic Boston Edison and major transit lines, so work, meetings, and appointments are easy to reach. The vibe is supportive, accountable, and respectful, with clear structure and housemates working toward long-term recovery.
