Association for Sober Living

About Association for Sober Living

The Association for Sober Living is a sober living operator based in North Attleborough, Massachusetts, running three certified recovery residences in Bristol County. Eamonn Lynch continues the organization his father Ron built over twenty years, following Ron's death in 2006.

A North Attleborough Sober Living Operator

The Association for Sober Living runs a phased peer-support program. New residents move through structured peer support, group involvement in Alcoholics Anonymous, and eventually a mentorship phase, where a resident who has progressed becomes a "Senior Peer" guiding newer arrivals.

Three Houses in North Attleborough

The Association for Sober Living operates three men's residences:

• A house at 174 North Washington Street.
• A house at 180 North Washington Street.
• A house on High Street.

All three sit inside North Attleborough, in Bristol County, keeping the operator's entire footprint in one town.

MASH Certification Across the Portfolio

All three Association for Sober Living residences are certified through the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing under NARR Level II. The two North Washington Street houses are run as one combined program, while the High Street house is certified separately.

Up to a Year of Structured Support

Residents may stay in an Association for Sober Living house for up to a year if needed, which gives the phased peer-support model time to work: a new arrival can progress through structured accountability, Alcoholics Anonymous involvement, and mentorship without a fixed deadline forcing an early move-out.

Beyond the House: Social Events and Support

The organization builds group activities into its program, including softball, cookouts, and an annual canoe trip on the Saco River, alongside individual and group therapy and legal and family support for residents working through those issues.

Recovery Housing in Bristol County

North Attleborough sits in Bristol County near the Rhode Island line, giving Association for Sober Living residents access to outpatient providers and job opportunities in a smaller town setting outside Boston's more expensive housing market.
