McCleary Manor Men's Sober House

About this Sober House

McCleary Manor is a men's sober living home on Brightside Drive in Holyoke, Massachusetts, in Hampden County. It is operated by Providence Ministries, a Holyoke nonprofit that has served the community since 1980.

A Men's Sober House on Brightside Drive

This sober house in Holyoke serves men in early recovery, and Providence Ministries relaunched its program here in 2026 around growth, accountability, and preparing residents for independent living. Sober living at McCleary Manor is explicitly framed as a stepping stone toward independence, not permanent housing.

A Peer-Driven Recovery Community

Residents describe McCleary Manor as a peer-driven support community, where men encourage each other toward continued growth in wellness and recovery. Residency requires 12 months or more of established recovery and a sustainable income, criteria meant to keep the household stable while residents work toward independence.

Part of a Larger Holyoke Nonprofit

Providence Ministries also runs a food pantry and Kate's Kitchen, a free community dining room, giving McCleary Manor residents access to services well beyond housing while staying inside one organization.
