Rise Above Sober Living

About Rise Above Sober Living

Rise Above Sober Living is a Massachusetts women-only sober living operator running certified recovery homes in Lynn, Lowell, and Malden, across Essex and Middlesex counties. Andrea DeCotis Stanford operates the network.

A Women-Only Sober Living Operator

Rise Above serves women exclusively across every address it runs, keeping house rules, meetings, and shared space built around one population at each location. The operator states it owns and operates five sober living homes across Massachusetts.

Serving Lynn, Lowell, and Malden

Rise Above's published locations include:

• Rise Above Lynn, on Euclid Avenue in Lynn.
• Rise Above Lowell, on Chestnut Street in Lowell.
• Two Rise Above Malden units, both on Washington Place in Malden.

Lynn sits in Essex County, and both Lowell and Malden sit in Middlesex County, giving Rise Above a footprint across two counties north of Boston.

MASH Certification Across the Network

Rise Above Lynn and Rise Above Lowell are both certified through the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing. MASH also independently certifies both Malden units under Rise Above's name, at 12 and 14 Washington Place, though the operator's own site does not distinguish between the two by house number.

Applying to Rise Above Sober Living

Applicants apply through an online form regardless of which Rise Above address they are interested in, which keeps admissions consistent across the network even though each house sits in a different city.

Women's Recovery Housing North of Boston

Lynn, Lowell, and Malden form a corridor of mid-sized cities north of Boston, each with its own outpatient providers and job market, and Rise Above's spread across all three gives women in recovery a choice of city while staying inside one certified operator.
