A Women's Sober House on Sparhawk Street

The house serves women exclusively, which keeps bathrooms, common space and house meetings single-gender under one set of rules for everyone living there. Sparhawk Street sits in a residential part of Amesbury, a small city along the Merrimack River.

What MASH Certification Establishes

Certification by the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing commits the house to a published code of ethics, disclosed fees and rules before move-in, and a complaint process outside the house. It is also what has let Massachusetts state agencies and parole or probation officers refer someone here directly since 2016.

A Large House and What It Offers

Twenty-one residents makes Sally's Place one of the larger certified sober homes in the area, which means a wide range of housemates at different points in recovery alongside more shared bedrooms and common space than a smaller house would have.

Amesbury and Essex County

Amesbury sits in Essex County along the Merrimack River, close to the New Hampshire border and a short distance from Newburyport. Its small-city scale keeps most day-to-day errands, appointments and meetings within a short reach of each other.
