A Men's Sober House on Lake Shore Drive

This sober house in East Falmouth serves men in recovery, with a single-gender household and a capacity of fifteen residents. East Falmouth is a village within the town of Falmouth, on the south side of Cape Cod, and Lake Shore Drive sits in one of its residential neighborhoods away from the summer tourist strip along the coast.

What MASH Certification Establishes

Certification by the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing, the state's NARR affiliate, commits this residence to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a relapse and discharge policy, and an outside complaint process. Massachusetts certification is voluntary, so a certified sober house has taken on obligations an uncertified rental has not.

Cape Cod Recovery Housing in Barnstable County

Falmouth is one of the larger towns on Cape Cod and Barnstable County's year-round population is concentrated along this stretch of the Upper Cape, with Falmouth Hospital and outpatient treatment providers within the same town. A men's sober house here keeps a resident close to services that many smaller Cape towns do not have on their own.

Reaching This East Falmouth Sober House

Applications for the Lake Shore Drive house go directly through the operator. The questions certification obliges an answer to are worth asking before move-in: what the weekly fee covers, whether a house manager lives on site, how bedrooms are assigned, and what the relapse and discharge policy says. A certified sober house has to put those answers in writing.
