About A New Life Sober Living

Two Sober Houses in Lowell

A New Life Sober Living runs the following residences:

• Bridge Street, for men.
• Mansur Street, for women.

Keeping one house for each gender lets the operator write rules and staffing for a single population at each address.

MASH Sober Living Certification at Both Addresses

Both A New Life Sober Living houses are certified at NARR Level II by the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing. MASH certifies address by address, and an operator that carries it on every house it runs has committed to a published code of ethics and an outside complaint process at each one.

A Small Sober Living Operator With a Direct Contact

Applications for either A New Life Sober Living house go directly to David Asher. A small operator like this returns calls on its own schedule and makes admissions and discharge decisions locally, which is the trade a resident accepts for dealing with someone who knows both houses personally.

Recovery Housing in Lowell and Middlesex County
