Living the Dream in Recovery - Stockton Street Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Living the Dream in Recovery – Stockton Street is a men's sober living home in Hightstown, New Jersey, in Mercer County, operated under a New Jersey Department of Community Affairs license as a Cooperative Sober Living Residence. Founded in 2024 by Rob Sackowitz, the operator built the house around a simple idea: recovery holds better when gratitude and daily structure come before anything else.

A Men's Sober House on Stockton Street

The Stockton Street house serves men only, with five bedrooms split between two shared rooms and three private ones. That mix lets a resident who needs the accountability of a roommate get it, while someone further along can pay for privacy without leaving the house. A live-in house manager is on site around the clock, which matters most in the early weeks when a schedule has not yet become a habit.

What a New Jersey Cooperative Sober Living License Establishes

New Jersey licenses cooperative sober living residences under N.J.A.C. 5:27 through the Department of Community Affairs, and this house carries that license as a Class F residence. The license is mandatory, not voluntary, and it is the credential a New Jersey resident can actually check before moving in. It says nothing about program philosophy or daily routine, which is where the operator's own rules take over.

Daily Structure and Support Services

Living the Dream in Recovery lays out a consistent set of expectations for residents:

• A live-in house manager on site at all times.
• Mandatory weekly house meetings.
• Life skills coaching and help with the job search.
• Gym access and transportation assistance.
• Random urine analysis and breathalyzer screening.

The house also works with outside treatment providers, including Right Choice Recovery, so a resident arriving straight from a program does not lose that connection on move-in day.

Two Hightstown Sober Homes Under One Operator

Stockton Street is one of two Hightstown addresses Living the Dream in Recovery holds a state license for, alongside a second men's home on Main Street. Running both from one office keeps house rules, screening standards and staff consistent for anyone who moves between them.
