About this Sober House
White Mountains Recovery is a men's sober living home on Union Street in Littleton, New Hampshire, in Grafton County, part of the White Mountains and Upper Valley region. It's one of two single-gender houses the operator runs in town, and it follows a faith-based, twelve-step model built by a founder who has been sober himself since 2003.
A Men's Sober Living Home on Union Street
Union Street runs through a residential section of Littleton within walking distance of the town's compact downtown, where most of the North Country's retail, banking and municipal offices for this part of Grafton County are concentrated. That matters for a resident without a car yet: a job, a meeting or a probation appointment downtown doesn't require a ride.
A Faith-Based, Twelve-Step Approach to Recovery Housing
White Mountains Recovery Homes was founded in October 2017 by Keith Anderson, a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor who has maintained his own sobriety since 2003 and built the program around a stated belief in God alongside twelve-step principles. That combination shapes daily life at the Union Street house more directly than a generic sober living label would suggest, since residents are expected to engage with twelve-step work as the backbone of the program, and a founder who has worked across multiple levels of addiction treatment and correctional settings runs it accordingly.
How New Hampshire Certification Works for This Sober House
New Hampshire doesn't require a sober living home to certify, and this address is not currently confirmed on the New Hampshire Partnership for Recovery Residences directory, the agency the state designates to certify recovery housing. Certification is voluntary, and its absence here says nothing about how the house is run. What it does affect is referral eligibility: state and federally funded providers can only refer clients to houses on New Hampshire's Voluntary Recovery House Registry, which draws exclusively from NHPRR-certified addresses.
Recovery Housing in Littleton and Grafton County
Littleton anchors Grafton County's northern end along the I-93 corridor, well north of North Haverhill, the county seat, and it carries an outsized share of the White Mountains and Upper Valley region's services for a town its size, including Littleton Regional Healthcare and a Main Street retail base that draws from towns on both sides of the Vermont border. For someone leaving treatment in northern New Hampshire, Littleton is usually the closest place with both a job market and outpatient care in reach.
White Mountains Recovery Homes in Littleton
The operator also runs a women's house elsewhere in Littleton, keeping men and women in separate households under one program. Both houses share the same founder, the same twelve-step and faith-based structure, and the same intake process, so a family comparing the two is really choosing between addresses instead of between two different programs.
Reaching White Mountains Recovery in Littleton
Applications go through the operator directly. Worthwhile questions include how the twelve-step expectations are enforced day to day, whether a house manager lives on site, what the weekly cost covers, and how the faith-based elements of the program work for someone who doesn't share the founder's religious framework.
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.
