About this Sober House
White Mountains Recovery Homes - Cross Street is a men's sober house in Littleton, New Hampshire, in Grafton County, and one of five recovery homes the operator runs across the northern half of the state. Cross Street is a short residential block minutes from Littleton's Main Street, and the house follows the same 12-step program the operator applies at every address it holds.
A Men's Sober House on Cross Street in Littleton
This is single-gender housing for men in recovery, which settles bathrooms, house meetings and shared living space under one set of expectations. Littleton is walkable in a way most towns in the North Country are not: the grocery, the pharmacy, the courthouse errands and a good share of the town's meeting schedule sit within a mile of the house. For a man leaving treatment or a county facility without a car, that radius is the difference between keeping appointments and missing them.
What the Weekly Fee Buys in This Recovery Home
Rooms rent by the week at $220 to $260 depending on the room and the house, with the first and last week due at intake. Doubles sit at the bottom of that range and private rooms at the top. The operator recommends a full year of residency, and the fee structure reflects that: no lease, no long deposit, a weekly rate a man can carry on entry-level wages while he rebuilds savings.
House Structure at This Littleton Sober Living Home
The published expectations are the same at every White Mountains Recovery Homes address:
- An AA or NA meeting every day for the first 90 days, including one step meeting each week.
- A verified sponsor within 30 days and a home group with a service position.
- A weekly outside therapy appointment.
- A mandatory weekly house meeting and daily rotating chores.
- Curfew at 11 at night Sunday through Thursday, midnight Friday and Saturday.
- Random drug screening, no visitors, and no smoking or vaping inside.
Two approved overnights a week are available to residents whose fees are current, which is how the house handles a job in another town or a first weekend with family.
Medication-Assisted Recovery and Court Referrals
Residents on medication-assisted recovery are accepted here, and the operator names parole and probation referrals as a core part of who it houses. Those two facts belong together. A man coming off supervision with a buprenorphine or methadone prescription is the resident most likely to be turned away by a house that quietly screens for either, and losing housing over a prescription usually costs the prescription too. New Hampshire's Department of Health and Human Services maintains the state's recovery housing and treatment resources.
Recovery Housing in Littleton and Grafton County
Littleton is the service center for northern Grafton County and the towns along the Connecticut River above Franconia Notch. Littleton Regional Healthcare, the district court, the transit link down Interstate 93 and most of the area's outpatient capacity are here, and the county seat at North Haverhill is a straight run south. Recovery housing in this part of New Hampshire is thin on the ground, so a certified operator holding several houses in one town gives people from Bethlehem, Lancaster, Whitefield and Franconia somewhere to land inside their own region.
Certification and the Sober Living Operator Behind the House
White Mountains Recovery Homes is certified through the New Hampshire Partnership for Recovery Residences, the agency the state designates to certify recovery residences. Certification in New Hampshire is voluntary, and what it buys is access: agencies and vendors spending state or federal dollars may refer only to houses on the New Hampshire Voluntary Recovery House Registry, which is limited to certified residences. For a man arriving through a treatment provider, a recovery center or a probation officer, that registry status is what makes the referral possible at all.
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.
