Sober House

About Sober House, Inc. (on record) - possibly Casa Benjamin Rush / Franklyn Veloz per MASH

Sober House is a sober living operator in Methuen, Massachusetts, running a certified men's recovery residence in Essex County. The organization was founded in 2020 by Danielle Donohue and Jason Loomer.

A Methuen Sober Living Operator

Sober House builds its program around in-house and recovery-based group meetings, medication-assisted treatment support, and staff trained through the Bureau of Substance Abuse and other recovery-community programs. Residents get help navigating court appearances as they come up, which is a common need for men arriving from the justice system or straight out of treatment.

MASH Certification and What It Requires

The operator's housing carries current certification through the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing, which requires a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a documented relapse and discharge policy, and an outside complaint process.

Support for Medication-Assisted Recovery

Sober House accepts residents on medication for opioid use disorder. Not every sober living operator does, and for someone whose treatment plan includes buprenorphine or methadone, that acceptance can be the deciding factor in where they can live at all.

Serving Methuen and Essex County

Methuen sits at the northern edge of Essex County along the New Hampshire border, in the Merrimack Valley. An operator based there serves men from Methuen, Lawrence and the surrounding valley towns who need a certified sober house without traveling toward the coast or into New Hampshire.

Reaching Sober House

Applications go directly to the operator. Worth asking: current bed availability, whether medication-assisted treatment is accommodated for a specific prescription, and how court-related appointments are supported alongside house responsibilities.
