Sober House Description:
The Maris Center for Women is a women’s sober house in Salisbury, MA.
Sober living houses, also called sober homes and sober living environments, are facilities that provide safe housing and supportive, structured living conditions for people exiting drug rehabilitation programs. Sober houses serve as a transitional environment between such programs and mainstream society.
Additional Information:
Sober living homes are group residences for people who are recovering from addiction. In most instances, people who live in sober homes have to follow certain house rules and contribute to the home by doing chores. Most importantly, residents must stay sober throughout their stay in the home.
Maris Center for Women offers a safe, supportive residential program where women can focus on recovery and healing with a minimum commitment of 3 months for an extended period of up to two years. Maris Center residents contract to abstain from all drug and alcohol use and addictive behaviors, attend appropriate AA/NA meetings and participate fully in all additional aspects of therapy. Daily group programming and 24-hour supervision are provided. Residents are encouraged to fully integrate into the community through employment and community service and are required to pay a portion of their treatment fee/rent, provide their own meals and contribute to the upkeep of the Center. The Maris Center provides a safe place to begin the healing of mind, body and spirit. Residents receive 24-hour support through program staff and peers. Of the 40 placements at Maris Center, 12 are reserved for incarcerated women participating in the Women in Transition (W.I.T) pre-release program, run in partnership with the Essex County Sheriff’s Department.
