A Men's Sober House on Westford Avenue

Eighteen men live at this Springfield address, run by an organization founded by Abraham E. Torres Jr., who built the program from his own recovery. "I once lived the life the organization's residents are recovering from," Torres has said of the work, and that history sets the tone for a peer-supported model.

What MASH Certification Establishes

Certification through the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing commits this house to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a relapse and discharge policy, and an outside complaint process. The organization states its program is built to align with both MASH and national NARR standards.
