Recovery Homes of New England

About Recovery Homes of New England

Recovery Homes of New England is a Massachusetts sober living operator running two men's sober houses on Bigelow Street in Quincy, in Norfolk County.

A Quincy Sober Living Operator

Recovery Homes of New England keeps both of its properties on the same street, which lets it run one intake process and one set of house rules across the operation. The company's work is housing and supervision. Residents keep their own outpatient providers and counselors, and the operator's job is to keep the house staffed, the fee predictable, and the rules the same from one address to the next.

Two Sober Houses on Bigelow Street

Recovery Homes of New England operates:

• Bigelow Sober Homes, on Bigelow Street in Quincy, for men.
• Bigelow Sober Living, on Bigelow Street in Quincy, for men.

Running both properties on the same street means a resident's neighborhood, transit options and nearby providers stay the same no matter which of the two houses he is placed in.

A Men's Sober Living Operator

Both Recovery Homes of New England properties serve men only, under a single live-in house manager model. That consistency is the main thing a resident gains from an operator running more than one address on the same street: the rules he learns in one house carry over if he ever needs to move to the other.

Serving Quincy and Norfolk County

Quincy is the largest city in Norfolk County and sits on Boston Harbor, a short MBTA Red Line ride from downtown Boston. Recovery Homes of New England's location puts residents within reach of the outpatient providers, courts and entry-level jobs concentrated in Quincy and nearby Boston neighborhoods, a large part of why Norfolk County's sober housing supply is concentrated in this corridor.

Reaching Recovery Homes of New England

Applications for either Bigelow Street address go through the operator directly. Since neither property is part of the state's certified network, the questions worth asking are the ones a certified house would answer in writing anyway: what the weekly fee covers, how a relapse is handled, and whether a house manager is on site at night.
