A Women's Sober House on Washington Place

The house serves women only, and at eight residents it stays small enough for a house manager to know everyone living there. It operates under the Rise Above Sober Living network, which runs multiple women's communities in the greater Boston area.

House Managers and Daily Structure

Rise Above Sober Living describes house managers who help new residents settle in, learn house rules and build daily routines rather than leaving that work to housemates. That structure matters most in the first weeks, when the daily schedule is still unfamiliar.

What MASH Certification Establishes

Certification by the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing commits the house to a published code of ethics, disclosed fees and rules before move-in, and a complaint process independent of the house. It is also what has let Massachusetts state agencies and parole or probation officers refer residents here directly since 2016.

Malden and the Orange Line

Malden sits in Middlesex County at the northern end of the MBTA Orange Line, which puts a resident of Washington Place within a direct transit ride of downtown Boston's hospitals, courts and job market. That connection matters for someone rebuilding a job or a treatment schedule without a car.

A Second Rise Above Home Nearby

A second Rise Above Sober Living residence sits a few doors down at 14 Washington Place, also for women. A resident who needs a different set of housemates within the same network can raise it with the same house managers rather than starting over.
