About this Sober House

Brisan Recovery - Eddy Street is a sober house for men in Providence, Rhode Island, in Providence County, run by Brisan Recovery Housing, whose houses RICARES records at NARR Level 2.

A Providence Sober House for Men

Brisan Recovery - Eddy Street serves men. Eddy Street runs south from downtown Providence through the city's hospital district and into the residential blocks of the South Side, which answers the question a man without a car actually has about an address: whether work, an outpatient appointment and a meeting sit on one line through the city.

Peer Leadership Inside the Eddy Street House

Brisan Recovery Housing runs its houses on a peer-support model, with a House Leader and a Senior Resident living on site. The arrangement puts day-to-day authority at Eddy Street in the hands of people who sleep in the building, and it is the structure NARR Level 2 certification is built around.

Medication Assisted Treatment and the Eddy Street House

Brisan Recovery Housing accepts residents on Medication Assisted Treatment. For a man leaving treatment while still taking prescribed medication for opioid use disorder, that one policy decides whether an application is worth filing, and a sober house in Providence that settles it up front saves a difficult phone call.
