Brighter Days Men's Sober House

About this Sober House

Brighter Days is a certified men's sober house on Ridge Street in Fall River, Massachusetts, in Bristol County. It is operated by Resilient Homes and holds certification through the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing.

A Men's Sober House on Ridge Street

Seven men live at this Fall River address, run by Resilient Homes, LLC, an organization Jocelyn Cabral founded in 2018 after losing her brother to an opioid overdose. Portuguese-speaking staff support residents at the house, which matters in a city where a large share of the population speaks Portuguese at home.

What MASH Certification Establishes

Certification through the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing commits this house 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. Brighter Days is also approved to house residents released on parole in Massachusetts, a separate state-level review that looks at the same fundamentals: stability, structure and address.

Structure Beyond the House Itself

Resilient Homes builds recovery activity into the calendar alongside outside meetings: residents take part in commitment nights and organized outings, and the organization provides transportation assistance so a lack of a car does not cut a resident off from work or treatment appointments.
