About Holworthy Eco Sober House

Eco Sober Houses in Boston, Massachusetts, doesn’t provide detox or direct treatment services. Instead, these are supportive living homes for men who have previously completed a level of treatment. They’ve created a secure and safe environment where residents create a community with one another as they work toward their individual recovery goals.

Group meetings and regular drug testing are part of residential life here. Those who miss meetings or fail tests may be at risk of dismissal. Clients are also encouraged to find support groups in the surrounding community.

Employment Support

Sober houses promote independent living among residents, and part of that means securing employment. Doing so demonstrates personal responsibility while allowing you to support yourself financially, and it also works as a relapse prevention measure. Staff will help you in your job search, and you can use the area’s public transportation options to get to and from work once you’ve landed a job.

If you need acute services, they may be able to refer you. Other than that, clients are required to attend at least one weekly meeting in the evenings. Curfews are generous but are strictly enforced. Overnight stays and extended nights out are at the discretion of the house manager.

Celebrating the Differences

This program and its homes reflect the diversity of the Boston area, and men of all backgrounds are welcome at its doors. This diversity—be it culturally, ethnic, or something else–invites unique viewpoints and experiences into the recovery process.

FAQs

What kind of housing is Holworthy Eco Sober House?

Sober living. The house is a transitional option for men, sitting between inpatient treatment and ordinary social life. It’s a place to live rather than a clinical program, so the day to day is life in a house with other residents in recovery.

How do you pay rent at the house?

Weekly or monthly, paid directly to management. That payment covers rent, utilities and the other house costs. You’d want to ask management what the current rate is before you commit.

What are the rooms and the building like?

A three family brick building in a quiet Roxbury neighborhood, with spacious rooms and high ceilings. Rooms are double, with modern furnishings, in a building that’s been renovated. WiFi and TV access are in the works. Residents agree to random drug and alcohol tests.

When did the first house open in Dorchester?

The network started in March 2021 with a single house in Dorchester and has grown to several houses around Boston. Residents also get help with social reintegration and job placement, alongside the housing itself.
