About House of Changes

House of Changes is a Norwich, Connecticut–based nonprofit operator providing men’s sober living and recovery housing designed to help residents stabilize, rebuild daily routines, and move toward long-term independence. Through a mission centered on helping people “make meaningful changes to stabilize and enrich their lives,” House of Changes supports individuals transitioning from substance use disorder and related hardships by combining safe housing with practical programming and community-based encouragement.

As a structured recovery residence, House of Changes emphasizes personal responsibility, consistency, and accountability—key elements of structured sober living that help residents maintain momentum in early recovery. The organization highlights supportive services that complement a sober house environment, including mentorship, relapse prevention education, and job readiness support. These services are designed to strengthen coping skills, reduce relapse risk, and improve residents’ ability to re-enter the workforce and community life with confidence.

House of Changes also appears in Connecticut’s DMHAS addiction services availability system as a Certified Sober Living Home (CTARR) at 321 Washington Street in Norwich, serving men and reporting current bed availability. This listing is a strong indicator that the home is operating and participating in the state’s credentialed recovery housing ecosystem. Additionally, directory coverage describes House of Changes as a CTARR-certified Level II recovery residence aligned with national recovery residence standards, reinforcing its identity as an organized provider of addiction recovery housing rather than an informal listing.

Located in Norwich, House of Changes offers access to the broader local recovery community and nearby support resources. For residents, a men’s-focused sober living setting can provide peer support and a substance-free environment where daily structure—paired with clear expectations—helps reinforce healthy routines and progress toward personal goals.
