Next Chance: Shore House Women's Sober House

About this Sober House

Next Chance: Shore House is a certified sober living home for women on Shore Road in Pocasset, Massachusetts, in Barnstable County. The Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing currently certifies the residence under operator Lana Atamian, the same contact behind her Farm House, Pond House and Ham House properties.

A Women's Sober House on Shore Road

Shore House serves women in recovery in Pocasset, a village of the town of Bourne on Cape Cod's Upper Cape. It is not listed on Lana Atamian's current website alongside her other properties, though the certification registry shows it as an active, currently certified residence under her name and phone number.

What MASH Certification Establishes

Certification through the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing commits the operator to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and house rules before move-in, and a relapse and discharge policy on file. It also opens the house to a complaint process outside the operator itself.

Part of a Cape Cod Recovery Housing Network

Lana Atamian runs Shore House alongside Farm House in Forestdale, Pond House in East Falmouth and Ham House in Wareham, giving her a five-address footprint across the Cape and South Shore for women in early recovery. A resident who needs a different house or a change of scenery has several nearby options under the same operator.

Reaching Next Chance in Pocasset

Applications for Shore House go through Lana Atamian directly. Questions worth asking before moving in include what the weekly fee covers, whether a live-in staff member oversees the house, what the relapse policy is, and how a transfer to one of the operator's other Cape Cod houses would work if the fit isn't right.
