About this Sober House

Rise Above Malden is a women's sober living home at 14 Washington Place in Malden, Massachusetts, in Middlesex County. It is operated by Rise Above Sober Living and holds certification through the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing.

A Women's Sober House on Washington Place

This ten-bed sober house in Malden serves women in recovery, one of two Rise Above properties on the same street. Rise Above Sober Living's own site lists two Washington Place addresses in Malden without distinguishing them by house number, and this one is independently confirmed through MASH's certified-residence registry.

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.

A Women-Only Sober Living Network

Rise Above runs every house it operates as a single-gender residence, and this Malden house serves women exclusively, structured the same way as the operator's houses in Lynn and Lowell.

Recovery Housing in Middlesex County

Malden sits in Middlesex County just north of Boston, giving residents access to the city's job market and outpatient providers from a quieter residential setting.

Part of a Five-Home Network

This Washington Place house is one of two Rise Above properties on the same Malden street, part of a five-home network that also includes Rise Above Lynn, in Essex County, and Rise Above Lowell, in Middlesex County.
