Our mission is to provide clean, comfortable accommodations in a positive environment for those looking to live a sober lifestyle. Our homes and their atmospheres are nurtured by the guests they provide for. It is a feeling.”  Our certified sober homes take pride in offering a home-like environment that supports recovery.

Rise Above is led by women for women who are committed to your success in maintaining sobriety.

We are funded by grants, donations, and weekly rent paid by its residents. Our women’s sober home is a safe and supportive environment for women in recovery. It is a place where they can feel comfortable and be themselves, surrounded by other women who understand the unique challenges they face in their recovery journey. Cindy and her incomparable team aid individuals in remaining free from the shackles of active drug and alcohol addiction, as well as other co-occurring self-harming actions and disorders. In 2011, the National Alliance for Recovery Residences (NARR) established national standards for sober houses.

Paul needed a structured and supportive social life, he needed to be with others in recovery. We expect our residents to be actively involved in an individual recovery plan. We facilitate in- house AA and NA meetings, and all residents are subject to supervised drug and alcohol testing. The end of a relationshipHave you ever heard the story of a person in early recovery who started dating and turned their partner into their higher power? Rather than focus on their own recovery and sanity, they focus on the relationship. What they fail to realize is that whenever recovery becomes supported mainly by a human relationship, the recovery (and usually the relationship) are on thin ice.

• When seemingly apocalyptic moments arise, there is an urge to console ourselves.
• Although the door to recovery remains open after a relapse—as long as a person survives such dangerous waters—relapse is not part of recovery.
• The end of a relationshipHave you ever heard the story of a person in early recovery who started dating and turned their partner into their higher power?
• When someone in early recovery focuses with such fervor on a partner, they no longer can keep the focus on themselves.

Our homes are smoke free but there are plenty of designated outdoor smoking areas. The cost of repeat treatment, prison time, ER visits is far greater than the cost of a recovery home. For the warmer months, mash certified sober homes we also have an outdoor meeting area, large decks, and a yard to enjoy. We are active from the local to the state level, continuously advocating for the rights of sober home residents and operators.

It’s all about people that need help finding a solid path to sobriety.

Did you know people change jobs an average of 12 times during their career? In January 2018, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the median employee tenure was 4.3 years for men and 4.0 years for women. The very nature of employment is a roller coaster ride of ups and downs. But we have to know how and when to use the tools properly, which requires practice. We gain this practice by working the 12 steps or taking other constructive actions in our recovery pathway well before a triggering event occurs. The Faith House Sober Living Communities are multiple sober homes located in Boston.

We sometimes use big events that may have no direct impact on our lives as reasons to drink or use. After the last presidential election, I heard many people in meetings bitterly joke that they were either moving to Canada or having a drink. Luckily, most of them did neither, regaining their focus on the microcosm of their own lives. They focused on what was right in front of them, remembering to take things one day at a time. Rather than sinking into depression and self-blame, you can use recovery tools to put the setback into context.

RECONCILIATION HOUSE

But if we have done the work and have recovery tools in place, these triggering events can be processed successfully instead of leading to a relapse. We acquire recovery tools through 12-step programs, SMART Recovery, therapy, or whichever recovery pathway we have chosen, and we use them for relapse prevention. Upon arriving at a sober-living house from rehab or detox, a woman can expect a safe and supportive environment that promotes long-term sobriety. The house managers will assist in helping her settle in and become familiar with the house rules and daily routine.

She will receive help and support from those knowledgeable about addiction and recovery. Our team will guide you in developing healthy habits, setting goals, and addressing any challenges that may arise during the recovery process. Whatever life setback you might face today or in the future, taking a drink or using a drug will not help resolve the difficulty and in the vast majority of cases, it will make a bad situation much worse. Instead, cut the cord that connects drinking and using with pain relief.
