A Men's Sober House on Irving Street

Nineteen men live at this Worcester address, a sizable household in the state's second-largest city. Worcester is the seat of Worcester County and central Massachusetts's main economic and medical hub, with several hospital systems and a cluster of colleges that anchor the local job and treatment market.

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. Certification is voluntary under Massachusetts law, so this house has chosen a higher bar than a landlord renting rooms informally.

Recovery Housing in Worcester County

As the county seat and the largest city in central Massachusetts, Worcester concentrates outpatient providers, court services and public transit in a way that smaller Worcester County towns cannot. A men's sober house of this size draws residents from across the county looking for that density of services.

Reaching David's House in Worcester

Applications go directly through the operator. Before moving in, it is worth asking what the weekly fee covers, whether a manager lives on site, how bedrooms are assigned, and what the relapse and discharge policy says.
