About this Recovery House
DB House Sober Living – Liberty Street is a women's sober living home in Saddle Brook, New Jersey, in Bergen County, run by DB House Sober Living as one of eleven Class F Cooperative Sober Living Residences the operator holds across northern New Jersey. The house sits on Liberty Street and houses up to ten women across five bedrooms.
A Women's Sober House on Liberty Street
DB House Sober Living – Liberty Street serves women only, and that single-gender structure shapes the whole household: shared bedrooms, bathrooms and common space all belong to one population, and the house rules apply evenly across ten residents. Saddle Brook is a small, largely residential Bergen County township, and Liberty Street sits inside one of its neighborhood pockets close to Route 46, which keeps NJ Transit bus connections into Hackensack and Paterson within reach.
What the Weekly Fee Covers
DB House publishes its costs for this address: a weekly fee of $250 after an initial move-in charge of $750, which covers the first two weeks of rent along with an entry fee. The house is furnished, with each bedroom outfitted and linens and cleaning supplies provided, and residents share a kitchen, multiple bathrooms, central air conditioning, laundry access and an outdoor patio with a grill. Publishing the cost structure up front is not universal among sober living operators, and it gives an applicant a real number to plan around before move-in.
Structure and Daily Operation
A live-in house manager and staff oversee Liberty Street around the clock, with the house itself keeping hours from 6 a.m. to midnight. Regular house meetings and 24/7 accountability are part of the operator's stated model, along with connections to local recovery meetings and outside providers for anyone who needs clinical care beyond what the housing itself provides.
What a Class F License Confirms
New Jersey licenses cooperative sober living residences as Class F facilities through the Department of Community Affairs under N.J.A.C. 5:27, and DB House holds that license for every property it runs, including this one. The license is a mandatory regulatory requirement, since New Jersey has no statewide certification program for recovery housing; it does mean the state has reviewed the property for this specific use and can inspect it.
Part of an Eleven-Home Network
DB House Sober Living operates eleven properties across six New Jersey municipalities: Elmwood Park, Fair Lawn, Paterson, Saddle Brook, Wallington and New Brunswick, split mostly between men's houses with two designated for women. A resident who later needs a different setting, or simply a change of housemates, is working with an operator that already runs alternatives nearby.
Recovery Housing in Bergen County
Saddle Brook sits close to Hackensack, the Bergen County seat, which holds the county courthouse, its social service offices and a concentration of outpatient treatment providers. New Jersey's licensing requirements for a house like this one are covered in Vanderburgh House's guide to sober living licensing in New Jersey.
