About this Sober House
White Mountains Recovery Homes - Langdon Street is a men's sober living home in Plymouth, New Hampshire, in Grafton County, on a residential street a short walk from the town common and the Plymouth State University campus. It is one of five houses the operator holds in northern and central New Hampshire, and the only one in Plymouth.
A Men's Recovery Home in a College Town
Plymouth is unusual among towns this size in northern New Hampshire because a university sits in the middle of it. That has practical consequences for a man in early recovery: year-round food service, retail and facilities work, a bus that runs the campus loop, evening classes at the community college level nearby, and a meeting schedule that stays populated through the winter. Langdon Street is inside that walkable core, which matters more than it sounds when a resident is thirty days sober and does not yet have a vehicle or a license back.
Program Expectations at This Plymouth Sober House
The house runs a 12-step program with published requirements: a daily meeting through the first 90 days, four of them in person weekly, a weekly step meeting, a verified sponsor inside 30 days, a home group with a service position, and one outside therapy appointment a week. Chores rotate daily and the house meeting is mandatory. Curfew is 11 at night midweek and midnight on weekends, screening is random, and residents on benefits are expected to work part time or volunteer. Medication-assisted recovery is accepted.
What This Sober Living Home Costs
Weekly rates run $220 to $260 depending on room and location, first and last week due at intake. The recommended length of stay is a year. Men who arrive on a probation or parole referral are a stated part of the population here, and the operator takes those referrals directly, which shortens the distance between a release date and a bed.
Recovery Housing in Plymouth and Grafton County
Plymouth is the hinge between the Lakes Region and the White Mountains, and it carries the services the surrounding towns lack. Speare Memorial Hospital, the district court, outpatient providers and the Interstate 93 corridor all run through it, and North Haverhill, the Grafton County seat, sits northwest with the county complex and its courts. Anyone searching for recovery housing in central Grafton County is choosing from a very short list, and a certified house inside Plymouth's walkable center is at the top of it.
Certification Through the State's Designated Agency
White Mountains Recovery Homes carries certification with the New Hampshire Partnership for Recovery Residences, which state law names as the sole agency authorized to certify recovery residences here. Certification is voluntary, so its absence at another house says nothing. Its presence says something specific: the residence is eligible for the New Hampshire Voluntary Recovery House Registry, and publicly funded agencies may only place people in houses on that registry. For a resident coming through a recovery center, a hospital discharge planner or the court, that eligibility is the practical difference.
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.
