Freddy's House Belvidere Men's Sober House

About this Sober House

Belvidere is a men's sober living home on Nesmith Street in Lowell, Massachusetts, in Middlesex County. It is operated by Freddy's House, which runs two other men's houses elsewhere in the city.

A Men's Sober House in the Belvidere Neighborhood

This sober house takes its name from Belvidere, one of Lowell's residential neighborhoods, and follows the same community-based model Freddy's House applies at its Bridge Street and Highlands houses. Residents live together as a peer-supported household, with outside providers handling anything clinical.

A Judgment-Free, Family-Style Program

Freddy's House frames recovery as something residents build together, describing its houses as judgment-free homes where residents celebrate success and support each other through struggle. That model traces back to the organization's Bridge Street origins under Frederick J. Farley Sr., for whom the organization is named.
