The Kelly House Men's Sober House

About this Sober House

The Kelly House is a certified men's sober living home in Wakefield, Massachusetts, in Middlesex County.

A Men's Sober House on Main Street

This sober house in Wakefield serves men in recovery from a Main Street address in a town built around a compact downtown and a commuter rail stop into Boston. That layout keeps meetings, groceries and transit within easy reach of the house.

What MASH Certification Establishes

The Kelly House holds Level II certification from the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing. Certification commits the house to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, and a complaint process reviewed outside the house.

Recovery Housing in Middlesex County

Wakefield sits in Middlesex County along the same commuter corridor as several larger towns, and men's recovery housing here tends to serve residents from across that stretch of the county.

What to Ask Before Moving In

A certified house like The Kelly House should be able to answer specific questions directly: what the weekly fee includes, whether a house manager lives on site, and what happens if a resident relapses. Comparing those written answers across a few Middlesex County houses is the most reliable way to judge fit before committing to one.

The Kelly House prides itself in creating a sober environment for men in recovery. The goal of the sober living house is to help people in every stage of their sobriety journey towards obtaining all the elements necessary for a major life transformation.  The adherence to the sober house rules represents the foundation of responsible living within a community of support. Sober living houses, also called sober homes and sober living environments, are facilities that provide safe housing and supportive, structured living conditions for people exiting drug rehabilitation programs. Sober houses serve as a transitional environment between such programs and mainstream society.
