Sober Living for Women in Boston

The most striking feature about their program is that they cultivate a nurturing environment and a culture of recovery. Each woman will be assigned a caseworker to help her find permanent housing, advance her education, get a job and get services for her children.

This program welcomes pregnant women as well as those who are on methadone maintenance (also known as MAT). The program also offers a monthly alumni group meeting where women can support one another and get relapse prevention support.
