Refresh Recovery Residence Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Refresh Recovery Residence is a sober living home in Hamilton, New Jersey, in Mercer County, licensed as a Cooperative Sober Living Residence.

A Coed Sober House on Terrill Avenue

Refresh Recovery Residence keeps its living spaces separated by gender under one roof, so men and women both have a place here without sharing bedrooms or bathrooms. That structure gives the house more flexibility to fill openings than a single-gender home, while still keeping the day-to-day separation residents expect.

Structure and Weekly Rhythm at Refresh

The house runs weekly community meetings led by residents themselves, along with an in-house twelve-step meeting each week that brings in an outside speaker. Transportation is provided to treatment programs and outside meetings, bi-weekly weekend activities break up the routine, and random substance screenings back up the house's no-drugs-or-alcohol rule. Overnight guests are not permitted, and staff supporting the house are themselves in recovery.

New Jersey's Cooperative Sober Living License

Refresh Recovery Residence holds a Department of Community Affairs license as a Cooperative Sober Living Residence, the mandatory credential New Jersey requires under N.J.A.C. 5:27 in place of a certification program. That license ties the house to oversight by the state's Bureau of Rooming and Boarding House Standards.

Hamilton's Place Near Trenton

Hamilton Township borders Trenton, the state capital and the Mercer County seat, and the two share a labor market, hospital system, and outpatient treatment network. A resident at Refresh can reach Trenton's courts and social services in minutes while living in a more residential, suburban setting.
