North Cottage Men's Sober House

About this Sober House

North Cottage is a certified men's sober living home in Attleboro, Massachusetts, in Bristol County.

A Men's Recovery Residence on County Street

This residence in Attleboro serves adult men who are in the earliest stages of recovery, at a program licensed by the Massachusetts Bureau of Substance Abuse Services in addition to its MASH certification.

What MASH Certification Establishes

North Cottage holds Level II certification from the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing. Certification requires the house to disclose fees and rules in writing, maintain a relapse and discharge policy, and accept outside review of complaints.

Licensed Residential Treatment

Beyond MASH certification, North Cottage operates as a licensed residential facility for substance abuse treatment, a designation that comes with additional state oversight on top of the voluntary recovery-housing certification most Massachusetts sober homes carry.

Who the House Serves

North Cottage admits adult men, minimum age eighteen, who are in the earliest stages of recovery, positioning the program as an entry point, not a later step-down stage.

Recovery Housing in Bristol County

Attleboro sits in Bristol County near the Rhode Island border, and North Cottage's location on County Street keeps residents within reach of the county's outpatient and treatment network. A family comparing licensed residential programs to voluntarily certified sober houses should ask specifically which framework applies to a given bed before assuming the two are interchangeable.
