Mabel Anderson House Men's Sober House

About this Sober House

Mabel Anderson House is a sober house in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, part of Providence County's recovery housing. Community Care Alliance names the house as its self-pay option for men.

The Self-Pay Route Into Recovery Housing

Community Care Alliance names two recovery houses in Pawtucket and splits them by how a resident pays. Mabel Anderson House is the self-pay house. A man who does not hold a Department of Behavioral Healthcare slot, or who would rather not wait for one, can enter recovery housing at Mabel Anderson House on his own account and still get the agency's full program.

What Mabel Anderson House Expects

Entry conditions are set before a man arrives. Community Care Alliance asks for thirty days free of alcohol and other substances before move-in, a sponsor, a home group, and proof of attendance at a minimum of three self-help groups each week. The house is open to men aged 18 or older who want support services alongside housing.

Once a Resident Is In

Life at Mabel Anderson House carries continuing obligations. Residents take part in at least two toxicology screens each week, share in household chores and the upkeep of the residence, and attend a weekly house meeting. Community Care Alliance also expects residents to be engaged in meaningful daily activity.

Daily Life and House Structure

Mabel Anderson House provides single bedrooms, along with laundry access and cable television. Community Care Alliance actively supports residents keeping contact with parole and probation officers, with family and with recovery coaches, treating those lines of communication as part of the recovery work.

Where Mabel Anderson House Sits

Mabel Anderson House stands in Pawtucket, in Providence County, alongside Teddy Jackson House and the agency's Robert J. Wilson House on Summit Street. Community Care Alliance administers its Pawtucket housing from its Woonsocket base, and its recovery houses share one set of rules, one admission standard and one men-only policy.
