About ATCNE Sober Homes

ATCNE Sober Homes is a sober living operator in the Allston-Brighton area of Boston, Massachusetts, running four off-site recovery residences in Suffolk County.

A Boston Recovery Housing Provider Rooted in Clinical Care

ATCNE, short for the Addiction Treatment Center of New England, is a licensed provider of medication-assisted treatment and outpatient behavioral health services. Its sober homes sit apart from that clinical work: they are alcohol- and drug-free housing, not treatment sites, and residents are free to use outside providers of their choosing.

Four Sober Homes Across Allston, Brighton and Boston

ATCNE runs a compact network of houses within the same neighborhood:

• Gardner Street, in Boston, for men.
• Englewood Avenue, in Brighton, for women.
• Quint Avenue, in Allston-Brighton, coed.
• Commonwealth Avenue, in Allston-Brighton, for men.

Grouping all four within one part of the city means a resident who needs a different house, or a different gender population, can move without leaving the neighborhood or the operator.

Housing Separate From Clinical Treatment

Each house is staffed by its own house manager and housing coordinator, distinct from ATCNE's clinical staff. Residency in the housing is not conditioned on participating in ATCNE's own treatment services.

A Partnership With the Allston Brighton CDC

ATCNE's Quint Avenue property operates in partnership with the Allston Brighton Community Development Corporation, tying at least one of its houses into the neighborhood's broader affordable housing infrastructure.

Reaching ATCNE Sober Homes

Applications go through ATCNE directly. Worth asking: whether a specific house has an opening for the resident's gender, how the housing coordinator role differs from a house manager's, and how a resident's existing outpatient care stays intact after move-in.
