Jeffrey's House High Street Men's Sober House

About this Sober House

Jeffrey's House, High Street, is a certified sober living home for men on High Street in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, in Worcester County. Jeffrey's House, Inc. holds NARR Level II certification through the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing for the residence, which MASH's registry lists at a capacity of twenty-three men, the largest of the operator's three Fitchburg houses.

A Men's Sober House on High Street

The High Street house is Jeffrey's House, Inc.'s largest Fitchburg property, nearly double the size of its Garnet Street counterpart. A house of that size depends more heavily on the operator's live-in house manager model to keep structure consistent across a larger group of men.

What MASH Certification Establishes

Certification through the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing commits Jeffrey's House, Inc. to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, and a relapse and discharge policy a resident can read in advance. It also opens the house to a complaint process outside the organization itself.

House Managers, Drug Testing and the NA/AA Requirement

Jeffrey's House, Inc. staffs High Street with trained house managers who administer on-site drug testing and expect ongoing participation in NA or AA meetings. The organization is explicit that it does not provide treatment, recovery or detoxification services directly, so the house's job is structure and accountability.

Re-Entry Support Through Prison Outreach

Jeffrey's House, Inc. runs a Prison Outreach program for people returning to the community after incarceration, and a house of High Street's size gives that program more room to place referrals than a smaller property could. Men arriving through that pathway join residents who came in through more conventional routes.

Jeffrey's House, Inc.'s Three Fitchburg Properties

High Street is one of three sober homes Jeffrey's House, Inc. has run in Fitchburg since 2013, alongside a second men's house on Garnet Street and a women's house on Water Street. Every property the organization runs sits inside the same city, which keeps its house managers, referrals and Prison Outreach work inside one service area.
