Interim House Inc

About Interim House Inc

Interim House Inc is a nonprofit operator of licensed long-term residential recovery housing in Boston, Massachusetts, based in the Dorchester section of the city in Suffolk County.

A Boston Recovery Housing Nonprofit

Interim House Inc has run its residential recovery program since 1972, giving it more than fifty years of continuous operation in Dorchester. That tenure is unusual in recovery housing, where operators and funding cycles often turn over within a few years, and it reflects a program built on licensure and structured treatment programming.

A Treatment-Oriented Operator

Interim House Inc structures its program around licensed clinical care: cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention and twelve-step facilitation delivered on site. The organization accepts referrals from courts and other agencies alongside residents who apply directly, functioning as much like a treatment provider that also manages housing as a landlord running a group home.

Serving Men Across Age and Background

Interim House Inc's program is built for a broad population of adult men, including veterans, older adults, younger transitional-age men, and people managing co-occurring mental health conditions. Structuring intake around that range is part of what has kept the program full and funded for decades.

Reaching Interim House Inc

Referrals and direct applications both go through the organization. Courts, case managers and treatment providers making a referral, along with men applying on their own, work through the same intake process.
