About this Sober House
Changes Recovery Housing - Woonasquatucket Avenue is a recovery residence in North Providence, Rhode Island, in Providence County. Woonasquatucket Avenue carries the second of the two adjacent units in the Changes Recovery Housing men's program.
The Centerdale Setting
Woonasquatucket Avenue runs through the Centerdale section of North Providence, in the 02911 ZIP code. No Rhode Island source publishes a street number for this house, so the listing carries the street name alone. Centerdale is a walkable village center, and Changes Recovery Housing describes both of its units as standing in a quiet residential neighborhood close to public transportation.
How Residents Support Each Other
The Changes Recovery Housing program is designed around peer obligation. Residents are asked to help themselves by helping the other men in the house abstain from substances, taken one day at a time. That framing puts the responsibility for the house's sober environment on the men living in it, not solely on staff.
The Wider Approach
Changes Recovery Housing pairs that peer structure with what the provider calls a medically informed, holistic approach, aimed at the environmental, lifestyle, health, educational and psychological aspects of a resident's addiction.
Two Houses Under One Program
Changes Recovery Housing runs Woonasquatucket Avenue and its Sack Street house as two adjacent units of one program, so a resident on Woonasquatucket Avenue is inside the same rules, the same leadership and the same peer culture as a resident on Sack Street. RICARES certifies two Changes Recovery Housing residences in North Providence at NARR Level 2, covering men's housing.
A Long Record in North Providence
The 2020 Rhode Island BHDDH public recovery housing list already recorded two Changes Recovery Housing houses in North Providence 02911. Six years on, RICARES still certifies two. Changes Recovery Housing has held the same two-house footprint in the same town across both records.
