A Men's Sober House on Hamilton Street

Loreto House sits inside the same Hamilton Street building where Providence Ministries runs its offices, food pantry, and other community programs.

Providence Ministries has served Holyoke since 1980, and its Hamilton Street campus houses a food pantry and clothing center alongside Loreto House, giving residents access to those services without leaving the property.

Holyoke sits in Hampden County along the Connecticut River, and Providence Ministries' long history there gives Loreto House residents a network of community relationships built over more than four decades.

One of Three Providence Ministries Homes

Loreto House is one of three sober living residences Providence Ministries operates in Holyoke, alongside McCleary Manor and Broderick House.

Sober living houses, also called sober homes and sober living environments, are facilities that provide safe housing and supportive, structured living conditions for people exiting drug rehabilitation programs. Sober houses serve as a transitional environment between such programs and mainstream society. With room for 30 residents, the Loreto House has access to resources including medical care, addiction support services, therapy with a licensed clinical social worker, housing and employment services and educational opportunities. Both lunch and dinner are also provided daily to each resident. The Loreto House is a safe and highly structured environment based on the philosophies of peer recovery which includes the belief that there are multiple pathways to recovery and wellness, and that recovery does happen.
