Structured Residential Recovery for Men

Link House offers a long-term residential treatment program for adult men seeking a stable and supportive environment for recovery. Residents commit to sobriety, attend daily counseling sessions and 12-step meetings, and live in a 24-hour supervised setting designed to promote accountability and structure. Most participants complete the program in about six months, with the first five months dedicated entirely to recovery.

Integrated Treatment and Practical Support

Therapeutic programming combines individual and group counseling, relapse-prevention work, and case management. Residents receive health and recovery education, including naloxone and overdose awareness, while participating in daily self-help meetings. After completing the initial treatment phase, clients may pursue employment, save for their next steps, and build confidence for independent living, all within a supportive framework that prioritizes sustained recovery.

Downtown Setting and Shared Amenities

Located in the heart of Newburyport, the facility is within walking distance of stores, medical offices, houses of worship, and parks with river beach access. The residence offers shared bedrooms, a communal kitchen, living areas, laundry, restrooms, and a computer lab. Food, bedding, and toiletries are provided, and residents share responsibility for maintaining common areas. Smoking and vaping are allowed only in designated areas.

Community Engagement and Real-World Readiness

Residents are encouraged to connect with the local community through service and recreational activities that strengthen social support and self-sufficiency. This emphasis on community integration and structured daily routines helps men rebuild healthy relationships, develop practical life skills, and prepare for long-term recovery beyond the program’s walls.
