Able House

If you are looking for a safe and supportive place to live as a member of a sober community, consider ABLE House. Located in Springfield’s historic McKnight neighborhood, ABLE House provides a welcoming environment that facilitates and nurtures successful living in recovery by providing a clean and comfortable home for our members to thrive in their sobriety.

Our two residences are spacious and well maintained. Each has eight bedrooms and room for 10 residents. With a large communal kitchen, living room and gathering spaces including a front porch and spacious back yard, our homes are designed so residents can come together as independent individuals in a supportive sober living community.

Able House Approach

Our residences are self-supporting, cooperating communities of men and women guided by a House Manager. While there are some rules and regulations you must follow, such as

live sober, be a good neighbor, and pitch in with household chores, the overall environment is warm and welcoming. Because we want you to be successful in your journey of recovery, you also have access to the full range of MHA services, such as:

• Recovery Coaching
• Recovery Support Navigation
• Counseling
• Outreach Support

Importantly, as an ABLE House member you must be an active participant in sustaining your recovery. You will be assisted with finding necessary community and employment support to help you become independent and self-sufficient. When you are ready to move beyond ABLE House, you will have the opportunity to stay engaged, should you wish, to offer support and friendship for new residents.
