Kent House Men's Sober House

About this Sober House

Kent House is a men's sober living home on Janet Circle in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, in Worcester County. It holds MASH certification at NARR Level II, has capacity for 15 residents, and is one of three Central Massachusetts locations run under the Kent House name.

A Men's Recovery Model Home in Shrewsbury

Kent House describes itself as a Recovery Model home, meaning residents are expected to build a concrete, long-term plan for staying sober. Janet Circle sits in a residential part of Shrewsbury, a town along Worcester's eastern edge with easy access to the Route 9 corridor.

Active Engagement With a 12-Step Community

Residents are strongly encouraged to stay active in a 12-step community, whether Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, SMART Recovery or Refuge Recovery. Offering a choice among several recovery frameworks lets men find the community that fits how they think about their own recovery.

What NARR Level II Certification Establishes

Certification through the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing requires Kent House to publish a code of ethics, disclose fees and rules in writing, and keep a documented relapse and discharge policy at each of its three locations.

How Admission Works

Kent House asks applicants to submit a completed application along with a current medication list, followed by a phone interview, and a biopsychosocial assessment can be submitted as part of that process.

Part of a Central Massachusetts Network

The Shrewsbury house is one of three Kent House locations, alongside houses in Milford and Northborough. A resident who needs a different setting within the same program has two other Kent House addresses to consider.
