Spring Street Sober Living

About Spring Street Sober Living

Spring Street Sober Living is a Massachusetts sober living operator running a certified women's recovery residence in Athol, in Worcester County.

A Locally Run Operator in North Central Massachusetts

Spring Street Sober Living keeps its housing in the town where it operates, which means admissions, fees and house rules are handled by people directly connected to the property rather than a distant office managing multiple states.

What MASH Certification Requires

The residence is certified by the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Certification obliges a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, and a complaint process outside the house, and it is what makes the residence eligible for referrals from Massachusetts state agencies and the courts.

Serving Women in a Smaller Worcester County Town

Athol sits in northern Worcester County along the Millers River, well north of the city of Worcester itself, in a part of the state with fewer certified recovery homes than the county's larger cities. Spring Street Sober Living gives women in that corner of the county a certified option close to home.

Reaching Spring Street Sober Living

Applications go directly to the operator. Worth asking: what a weekly fee covers, whether a house manager lives on site, and how a complaint moves from the house to the operator and then to MASH if it is not resolved locally.
