Basis Recovery Women's Sober House

About this Sober House

Basis Recovery is a women's sober living home on Stafford Street in Roxbury, Massachusetts, in Suffolk County.

A Women's Sober House in Roxbury

Basis Recovery serves women in recovery from a residential address in Roxbury, a Boston neighborhood with dense access to public transit, outpatient behavioral health providers and the Longwood Medical Area's hospitals just to the west. That density matters for a resident coordinating appointments without a car.

Basis Recovery's Second Boston Home

Basis Recovery also runs a men's home on Carmen Street in Dorchester, giving the operator a small footprint across two Boston neighborhoods rather than a single address. Running more than one house under the same name means consistent expectations for anyone who later needs to move between them.

Voluntary Sober Living Certification in Massachusetts

Massachusetts leaves sober home certification voluntary, and the state's affiliate, the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing, certifies houses that opt into a published code of ethics and written disclosure of fees and rules. Basis Recovery is not currently listed with that certification program.

Recovery Housing in Boston and Suffolk County

Roxbury sits within Boston, the seat of Suffolk County, and the surrounding neighborhood concentrates more outpatient treatment and transit access than almost anywhere else in the state.

What to Ask Before Moving Into This Roxbury Sober House

Applicants should ask Basis Recovery directly for house rules, fees and the relapse policy in writing before committing to a move-in date.
