About this Sober House

123 House North is a men's sober living home in Brockton, Massachusetts, in Plymouth County. It is one of five houses operated by 123 House and carries Level II certification from the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing.

A Men's Sober House on St. Casimir Avenue

123 House North is one of two 123 House properties in Brockton, the largest city in Plymouth County and a regional hub for jobs, courts and outpatient treatment. The house takes men only, which keeps its rules, meetings and shared space built around one population.

Level II Certification in Brockton

The Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing certifies this house at Level II, which requires 123 House to publish its code of ethics, disclose fees and rules before move-in, and submit to an outside complaint process. Brockton has both certified sober houses and informal rooming arrangements, and certification is the fact a prospective resident can actually verify.

Two 123 House Properties in One City

123 House North and 123 House South both operate in Brockton, more of the network's five houses than any other town. A resident at North who wants a change of housemates, without leaving the city, has the operator's South Brockton house as an option.

Plymouth County Recovery Housing

Brockton anchors the northern end of Plymouth County and carries most of the county's recovery housing capacity. Its size and its job market make it a common landing point for men leaving treatment or incarceration elsewhere in southeastern Massachusetts.

Applying to 123 House North

Applications go through the same 123 House office that handles all five properties. Certification means the operator has to answer, before move-in, what the weekly fee covers, how bedrooms are assigned, and what happens if a resident relapses.
