Zero Tolerance Sober Living - 11 Harrison Ave Women's Sober House

About this Sober House

Zero Tolerance Sober Living is a women's sober living home on Harrison Avenue in Taunton, Massachusetts, in Bristol County. It is certified by the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing and holds 18 residents.

A Women's Sober House on Harrison Avenue

This house serves women only, and it is one of three certified homes the operator, Zero Tolerance Sober Living, runs in Taunton and New Bedford. Keeping women at a separate address from the operator's men's houses lets each residence write rules and meetings for one population.

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. It is also what has let Massachusetts state agencies and courts refer residents here directly since 2016.

A House of Eighteen

Eighteen residents gives the Harrison Avenue house a wide bench of women at different points in recovery, and the operator's stated approach centers on treating everyone as someone who deserves a second chance rather than screening for a particular background.

Taunton, the Seat of Bristol County

Taunton is the seat of Bristol County, a city with its own courts, outpatient treatment providers and a downtown that has weathered its share of debate over sober housing in recent years. That civic infrastructure sits inside the same city as the Harrison Avenue house.

Zero Tolerance's Other Bristol County Homes

The Harrison Avenue house is one of three Zero Tolerance Sober Living residences in Bristol County, alongside a men's house on Union Street in Taunton and a men's house on County Street in New Bedford. A resident who later has a family member in one of the men's houses stays within the same operator's network.
