Freddy's House Bridge Street Men's Sober House

About this Sober House

Bridge Street is a men's sober living home at 612 Bridge Street in Lowell, Massachusetts, in Middlesex County. It is operated by Freddy's House, the same organization that runs the Belvidere and Highlands houses elsewhere in the city.

The Original Freddy's House Location

This sober house in Lowell is the flagship of Freddy's House and the address where the organization's history begins. For fourteen years, Frederick J. Farley Sr. managed and mentored residents at a recovery house on this same street, known locally at the time as the Oxford Recovery House, before the program was renamed Freddy's House in 2020 in his honor.

A Community-Based, Judgment-Free Model

Freddy's House describes its approach as community-based and judgment-free, with residents coming together as a family to celebrate success and support each other through setbacks. Residents keep their own outside providers for anything clinical while living within that peer structure.

Recovery Housing in Lowell, Middlesex County

Lowell sits along the Merrimack River in Middlesex County, and its mix of outpatient providers, job opportunities, and public transit gives Bridge Street residents access to the services early recovery depends on without leaving the city.

One of Three Freddy's House Homes

Bridge Street is one of three men's houses Freddy's House operates in Lowell. Belvidere and the Highlands are both elsewhere in the city, giving a resident who wants a change of house the option to stay within the same organization and the same city.
