Arbor House
Arbor House provides short term, transitional support services for individuals in the very early stages of recovery from alcohol and other drug abuse. The program philosophy is that people do best maintaining sobriety when they have a safe place to live, proper nutrition and help in designing their permanent recovery program and further treatment options.
Arbor House is a large family-style home located near the center of Holyoke and close to Route 90 (Mass. Turnpike) and Route 91. The house was renovated to afford 25 men and women privacy as well as room for group meetings, common activities and meals.
Referrals for the program come from detoxification settings and acute residential programs, as well as homeless shelters throughout Western Massachusetts. Men and women accepted into the program must be 18 years or older.
