About this Sober House
Recovery 12 Solutions - Groton is a men's sober house in Groton, Connecticut, in New London County, across the Thames River from the county seat. The operator runs a twelve-step recovery community with houses in Groton, New London and Norwich, and DMHAS lists this program as supported recovery housing.
A Men's Sober House on the Thames
Groton faces New London across the river, and the two towns function as one labor market. A man living in a Groton sober house can reach the county seat, its courthouse and its outpatient providers on the SEAT bus or over the Gold Star Bridge. The house serves men only, and the operator does not publish a street address for it. The town's bus network covers the corridors that matter for someone rebuilding a work schedule, and that is the piece a resident should check first.
Work and Recovery Housing in Submarine Country
Groton holds Naval Submarine Base New London and the Electric Boat shipyard, and the trades and service jobs around them are the region's employment base. Add the casinos in Ledyard and Montville, the hospitals in New London and Norwich, and the summer economy on the shoreline, and a resident has a genuinely deep entry-level market within a short bus ride. That matters in recovery housing more than amenities do. A house is affordable when the work near it is steady.
The Twelve-Step Model in This Sober Living Home
Recovery 12 Solutions runs a twelve-step recovery community. Residents are expected to be in a program, and the household holds them to it. The operator maintains houses for men new to recovery and houses for men with clean time, so placement depends on where a resident is when he applies. Southeastern Connecticut has an active meeting schedule across Groton, New London and Norwich, and a resident moving between the operator's houses stays inside the same network of rooms and the same fellowship.
Where This Groton Sober House Sits in the Operator's Network
The operator runs recovery housing in Groton, New London and Norwich, with a men's house in Windham County as well. The cluster is tight enough that a transfer leaves a resident's job, his providers and his home group intact. For a man who has moved four times in two years, keeping those three things unchanged through a fifth move is the whole point.
Connecticut Sober House Listings and Certification
This program carries a DMHAS record as supported recovery housing, which is the state's availability listing. Certification of recovery residences is a separate process run by the Connecticut Alliance of Recovery Residences, Connecticut's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Certification obliges a house to publish a code of ethics, disclose fees and rules in writing before move-in, keep a written relapse and discharge policy, and accept complaints reviewed from outside. Ask which record a house holds. Both can be checked without taking anyone's word for it.
