Merrimack Valley Sober Living

About Merrimack Valley Sober Living

Merrimack Valley Sober Living is a sober living operator in Lowell, Massachusetts, running certified men's recovery housing in Middlesex County. The organization maintains two men's sober homes in the city, both certified by the state's sober housing alliance.

A Lowell Sober Living Operator

Merrimack Valley Sober Living keeps its footprint tight: two addresses, both in Lowell, both serving men. That concentration means residents share the same city, the same transit lines and often the same outpatient providers regardless of which of the operator's houses they land in.

Two Certified Men's Homes in Lowell

Merrimack Valley Sober Living operates two sober living homes for men:

• Merrimack Valley Sober Living, on Elm Street in Lowell.
• Merrimack Valley Sober Living, on A Street in Lowell.

Both addresses carry NARR Level II certification through the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences.

What Certification Means at Both Addresses

Certification obliges Merrimack Valley Sober Living to disclose its fees and house rules before move-in, keep a written relapse and discharge policy, and remain open to a complaint process outside either house. Holding the standard at both addresses shows an operator that has built certification into how it runs, not just how it markets a single property.

Serving Men in the Merrimack Valley

Lowell sits in Middlesex County along the Merrimack River, a former mill city that now anchors its own stretch of the valley with courts, outpatient treatment and community college programs inside city limits. Men in either Merrimack Valley Sober Living home can reach all of it without leaving Lowell.

Reaching Merrimack Valley Sober Living

Applications go through the operator directly. Since both houses share a name and a city, anyone applying should confirm which specific address they are being considered for and ask about the weekly fee, house manager coverage and the relapse policy in writing before moving in.
