Supported Housing for Men
A SAFE SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT
At Right Turn, our new supervised housing for men provides residents
with a chance to belong to a sober community where creative people
share a vision of recovery. Our program also emphasizes the development
of life skills and healthy relationships.
Conveniently located in Watertown Square, MA, the facility offers a creative
community for 6 men in recovery in a beautifully renovated, historic
New England house. The home-like setting offers private rooms with
access to outdoor gardens and private sitting rooms.
OUR TREATMENT APPROACH
Our residents participate in Right Turn’s addiction program which includes
addiction counseling, intensive psychotherapy, medication management,
family therapy and life skill building as key components. Our goal is to help
residents build a clean and sober support network and to develop the skills
that are required for sober living.
BUILDING LIFE SKILLS
Addicted individuals often lose touch with the ordinary tasks of daily life such
as budgeting, housekeeping, self-care and food preparation. In the Right Turn
residential program, residents rebuild these vital skills in a supportive environment.
Local chefs assist in menu planning and meal preparation which makes the
process fun, and turns skill building activities into a community building experience.
CREATIVITY AND SOBER SUPPORT
Right Turn Supported Housing for Men offers many opportunities to express individual creativity and to feel part of a vital, creative community. Daily access to The Fuegos Music Room is one of many avenues for creative exploration. This fully equipped music room is open to all residents for practice and
rediscovering the kind of “healthy fun” so often lost to addiction. Rehearsing for Right Turn LIVE!’s weekly jam sessions is a popular activity through the week. Performances are open to
the public every Saturday night at Right Turn LIVE! – the sober café.
