Holman House Attleboro

The Holman House is a private sober living community for men that’s dedicated to providing a secure environment in which residents can stay on the path to long term sobriety. The house itself is a converted residence in central Attleboro, Massachusetts, and has all the amenities and utilities you’d need for cooking, cleaning and recreation. They also require residents to engage with all the elements of their internal program and have a set of rules in place to keep the environment safe.

Strict Safety Policies

The house is overseen by a house manager, who keeps the environment safe for everyone by enforcing Holman House’s policies. They don’t allow any drugs, alcohol or even paraphernalia associated with these substances on the premises. They also help keep residents accountable through random drug testing and if a resident has a prescription of some kind, random pill counts.

You’ll be required to get a job and pay rent on a weekly basis. Another interesting measure that ties in with this is that, on most days, residents are required to be out of the house between 10am and 4pm on weekdays.

Accountability in a Community

One thing residents gain while living in the Holman House is that their program requires residents to continue with AA or NA meetings, but also has an internal relapse prevention group. This way, you get to hold your brothers accountable and lean on each other for strength during your stay. One of their most recent reviewers wrote that the program’s simplicity makes it perfect for anyone who’s in the final stages of their official recovery program.
