Cavalry House Men's Sober House

About this Sober House

Cavalry House is a men's sober living home on Ruthven Street in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in Suffolk County. It holds MASH certification at NARR Level II, has capacity for 16 residents, and is one of a small network of men's recovery residences run by the same operator.

A Men's Sober House on Ruthven Street

Cavalry House sits in Dorchester's dense residential grid, close to the neighborhood's public transit lines and to the outpatient providers that serve much of Boston's recovery community. A house of 16 men runs with more structure and staffing than a small single-family sober home.

What NARR Level II Certification Requires

Certification through the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing commits the operator to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules, and a documented relapse and discharge policy at every address it runs, Cavalry House included.

Part of a Multi-House Operator

The same operator behind Cavalry House also runs Carmine's House locations in Dorchester and Quincy under a shared contact and phone number. That network gives residents somewhere to go if a transfer becomes necessary.

Recovery Housing in Dorchester and Suffolk County

Dorchester is Boston's largest neighborhood, and its concentration of meetings, outpatient providers and transit access makes it one of the most practical parts of Suffolk County to run sober housing.
