Freedom House

About Freedom House

Freedom House is a sober living operator in New Bedford, Massachusetts, running a certified men's recovery residence in Bristol County in alignment with nationally recognized sober living standards.

A New Bedford Sober Living Operator

Freedom House operates as a structured program, requiring compliance, accountability and a stated commitment to sobriety from everyone the operator houses. That structure is the operator's core offering: a stable address paired with expectations that do not vary from one resident to the next.

MASH Certification and What It Requires

The operator's housing is certified through the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing, which requires a published code of ethics, written fee and rule disclosure before move-in, a documented relapse and discharge policy, and an outside complaint process. Freedom House also participates in reentry and recovery grant programs, including ATR, RAP, Project North, Curran's Calling, Power Forward, the Herren Project and Catholic Charities, connecting residents to support beyond its own program.

Serving Bristol County

Based in New Bedford, the county seat of Bristol County, Freedom House draws on the city's concentration of courts, outpatient providers and reentry services. That positioning matters for referrals coming out of incarceration or residential treatment elsewhere in the county, since the operator sits inside the same service network its residents need to use.

Reaching Freedom House

Applications go directly to the operator. Given its grant partnerships, it is worth asking whether a prospective resident's referral source, such as a reentry or recovery program, already has a working relationship with Freedom House, along with the standard questions about fees, rules and relapse policy that MASH certification requires the operator to answer in writing.
