A Men's Sober House on Lewis Street

This Lynn sober house serves men only, and at twenty-six residents it is the largest single address in the Harwood Houses portfolio. That scale keeps the weekly cost low and puts a resident inside a large peer group from the day he moves in, which some men find more useful for accountability than a smaller house offers.

What Daily Life Looks Like at This Harwood Home

The house runs on Harwood's standard rules: zero tolerance for drugs and alcohol, drug testing twice weekly, a live-in manager, and an expectation that residents attend recovery meetings and take part in chores and house meetings. Rooms are furnished, and wifi, laundry and off-street parking are included.

MASH Certification and What It Requires

Certification by the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing obliges the operator to publish a code of ethics, disclose fees and rules in writing before move-in, keep a written relapse and discharge policy, and submit to an outside complaint process. That record gives a family or referring agency something concrete to check.
