Zero Tolerance Sober Living - 625 County St Men's Sober House

About this Sober House

Zero Tolerance Sober Living is a men's sober living home on County Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts, in Bristol County. It is certified by the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing and holds 24 residents, the largest of the operator's three houses.

A Men's Sober House on County Street

The County Street house serves men only, and at 24 residents it is the largest home Zero Tolerance Sober Living runs. A larger house means a wider group of peers at different stages of recovery living under the same roof and the same set of rules.

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 outside the house itself, and it is what has let Massachusetts state agencies and the courts refer residents here directly since 2016.

New Bedford, a South Coast City

New Bedford is Bristol County's largest city and a historic fishing port on the South Coast, with its own courts, hospitals and outpatient treatment providers. That infrastructure gives residents of the County Street house practical options for work and treatment without leaving the city.

Zero Tolerance's Homes in Taunton and New Bedford

County Street is one of three certified Zero Tolerance Sober Living houses, alongside a men's house on Union Street and a women's house on Harrison Avenue, both in Taunton a short distance away. The operator's phone screening process runs the same way at all three.
