12 Step Education Program of New England Coed Sober House

About this Sober House

12 Step Education Program of New England is a coed sober living home on Boston Road in Billerica, Massachusetts, in Middlesex County. It holds MASH certification at NARR Level II and has capacity for up to 53 residents, making it the larger of the program's two Middlesex County locations.

A Coed Sober House on Boston Road

Housing men and women together at a program of this scale is uncommon among Massachusetts sober houses, most of which run single-gender. Boston Road runs through Billerica's commercial corridor, giving residents access to the town's services and to the wider Route 3 corridor connecting Billerica to Boston and to Lowell.

Certification at Scale

NARR Level II certification through the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing requires a published code of ethics, disclosed fees and rules, and a written relapse and discharge policy, regardless of a house's size. With more than 50 residents on site, having those standards in writing gives every resident the same baseline expectations.

Paired With a Second Location in Woburn

The Billerica house is one of two addresses operating under the 12 Step Education Program of New England name, the other a men's house in Woburn. Running two certified locations under one program gives residents a place to transfer to if their needs change.

Recovery Housing in Billerica and Middlesex County

Billerica sits in Middlesex County along the Route 3 corridor between the Route 128 belt and the Lowell area. That position puts residents within reach of outpatient treatment and meetings across a wide stretch of the county.
