A Women's Sober House on Chestnut Street

This sober house in Lowell serves women in recovery, one of five properties Rise Above Sober Living operates across Massachusetts. The house sits inside Lowell's residential grid, giving residents access to the city's transit and outpatient providers without a car.

What MASH Certification Establishes

Certification through the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences, commits the house to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and an outside complaint process. That record gives a woman comparing sober houses from outside Massachusetts something concrete to check before applying.

A Women-Only Sober Living Network

Rise Above keeps every house it runs single-gender, and Rise Above Lowell is staffed and structured for women exclusively, with house rules and shared space built around one population.

Part of a Five-Home Network

Rise Above Lowell is one of five properties Rise Above Sober Living operates in Massachusetts. Rise Above Lynn serves women in Essex County, and two Rise Above Malden units serve women in Middlesex County alongside this house.

The mission of Rise Above is to provide a safe and structured springboard from which sober house residents can take action in their recovery program of choice. We believe that recovery from substance abuse is a lifelong process rather than a one-time destination. Action is essential to progress. Our sober house guides residents through these action steps and encourages the formation of holistic recovery routines. Safety and accessibility are Rise Above's number one priorities.
