A Men's Sober House on Springhill Avenue
Springhill Avenue keeps its population to men only, which settles the shared spaces, meetings and house rules for everyone living there. A house manager lives on site and runs the household day to day.
Sober Living Certification Through the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing
NARR Level II certification from the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing commits Springhill Avenue to a written code of ethics, disclosed fees and rules before move-in, and an outside complaint process. It also describes how the house runs day to day, with a manager on site and clinical care handled elsewhere.
Weekly Requirements at This Sober House
Residents attend three twelve-step meetings a week and the house's own daily meeting, work with a sponsor, and submit to urine testing twice weekly. Chores are shared, and everyone works toward something productive during the day.

Recovery Housing on Bridgewater's Residential Streets
Bridgewater sits in Plymouth County near Brockton, and Journey House keeps its houses in quiet residential neighborhoods within reach of shopping and public transportation, which matters before a resident has a car of his own.
Nine Recovery Homes, One Network
Springhill Avenue is one of nine Journey House residences in Bristol and Plymouth counties, including a second men's house on Bedford Street elsewhere in Bridgewater.
Journey House embraces the Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous philosophy of recovery and requires residents to be active members in those programs. This sober living space, or sober home, is a culture of sobriety in a community of peers battling addiction. Journey House provides social support for sobriety along with experiential learning, where residents learn strategies to succeed in recovery. They facilitate community networking with programs, counseling, and resources.
Each Journey House has a House Manager, who is someone who has demonstrated responsibility, integrity, and is in good standing with the community. Managers govern the house on a daily basis.
The goal of Journey House is to help people in every stage of their sobriety journey towards obtaining all the elements necessary for a major life transformation. The adherence to the house rules represents the foundation of responsible living within a community of support.
