About this Sober House
White Mountains Recovery Homes - 87 Union Street is a men's recovery residence in Littleton, New Hampshire, in Grafton County, one of three houses the operator keeps inside the town. Union Street is Littleton's long north-south residential spine, and the house sits within walking distance of the operator's other Union Street address.
Two Littleton Sober Houses on One Street
Holding two houses on the same street is a deliberate arrangement. Men move between them as their stage of recovery changes without changing towns, jobs, sponsors or meetings, and the house managers know a resident before he transfers. For someone weighing a move from a treatment bed into recovery housing, that continuity is the argument for choosing an operator with several addresses in one place over a standalone house.
House Rules That Shape the Week
Curfew is 11 at night from Sunday through Thursday and midnight on Friday and Saturday. Visitors are not allowed in the house, smoking and vaping stay outside, and drug screening is random. Two overnights a week are available to a resident in good standing whose fees are current. A weekly house meeting is mandatory, chores rotate daily, and every resident is expected at an outside therapy appointment once a week. Residents on benefits work part time or volunteer.
Fees at This Littleton Recovery Home
Rooms run $220 to $260 a week depending on the room and the house, with the first and last week paid at intake. Doubles cost less than singles. The operator recommends staying a year, and residents may stay longer.
Getting Around Littleton Without a Car
Littleton holds the services for a wide stretch of northern Grafton County: Littleton Regional Healthcare, the district court, the pharmacies, the grocery stores and the largest employers north of Plymouth. Union Street feeds directly into that core, and Interstate 93 runs alongside town for anyone commuting to Franconia, Bethlehem or Lancaster. Men arrive here from towns where the nearest meeting is a twenty-minute drive, and the first thing they notice is how much of the week can be done on foot.
What to Ask Before Moving Into This Sober House
Placement runs through White Mountains Recovery Homes, a sober living operator certified by the New Hampshire Partnership for Recovery Residences. The questions that decide a fit are the concrete ones: whether a double or a single is open and what each costs, how the 90-meeting requirement is verified, what the preventative protocol involves at 45 days, whether a medication-assisted recovery prescription is already on file, and how the operator handles a resident who loses a job mid-stay. A certified residence has to disclose its fees and rules in writing before anyone signs.
Sober living homes are group residences for people who are recovering from addiction. In most instances, people who live in sober homes have to follow certain house rules and contribute to the home by doing chores. Most importantly, residents must stay sober throughout their stay in the home.
