Structured Sober Living in Connecticut for Adults
RIGHT
PATH
HOUSE
In the welcoming shoreline towns of Madison and Clinton Connecticut, we’re helping reshape what sober living can be for recovering adults. At Right Path House at Acorn Hill (for women) and RPM (Right Path Men's) on Elmwood, we’ve elevated the idea of a sober home into a true recovery residence—where adults moving from rehab into rebuilding their lives have every opportunity to thrive.

What makes us different
Our Approach is Whole Person
Our approach empowers adults in recovery by providing a safe, CTARR certified, Level II sober living home or recovery residence where compassion and accountability converge under our roof.
We commit to help you with recovery coaching, set up your personalized 12 step meeting and gym schedule, help you find a solid 'sober' job, and find the perfect wraparound clinical support whether it be individualized therapy, Intensive Outpatient Program or a Partial Hospitalization Program post-rehab.
If you are now ready to try "doing something different because you want different results".
We're especially aligned with finding supports that can make a difference like neurofeedback, EMDR, really digging into the steps or experiencing equine. We center around honoring the dignity of all and finding the small, positive outcomes to turn recovery into a durable path forward.
About Our Design
Our Design Builds Integration and Connection
We crafted our sober living Connecticut based program on the decades of research that SAMHSA provides on long-term recovery. There are four main stays, or pillars: (1) build a community of peers, (2) discover a sense of purpose, (3) live safely in our house and (4) set up a program of wellness that encompasses a whole life.

What unites any 12-step community?
It's the deeply human search for connection, meaning, and sustainable transformation that's provided and witnessed within a fellowship of equals, one day and one story at a time. That's why in our sober home, we actively create connection through our shared dinners and morning meetings for those not at work or IOP. Plus, residents are coached in organizing outings to the beach, hiking trails or enjoying any one of the interesting activities in the greater New Haven/Connecticut Shore area. We also host our local women's AA community by opening our doors to a 12-step Women's Speaker Meeting every Wednesday evening.
Neurofeedback and recovery
We've found that Neurofeedback can often help residents that have a history of multiple rehab experiences. It's an optional add-on that's conveniently located onsite. Neurofeedback trains brain activity using real-time feedback to improve emotional regulation and reduce hyperarousal, which can lower symptoms of anxiety and impulsivity.
Welcoming Culture
Our In-House Culture Starts With Our Coaches
Because we're committed to safety, dignity, and respect, all our communication practices are trauma informed.
Our coaches engage in on-going training because our goal is a culture where honesty is met with support and even the smallest demonstration of courage is recognized. Our culture is also supported by our on-going requirement that everyone of us, from staff to residents, be engaged with an experienced therapist and 12-step sponsor.
In addition to working with their coach, we believe that each person also needs a clinician and a sponsor with whom they can truly and genuinely connect.
We hand-pick clinical specialists from the surrounding area for in-person and for virtual, the selection can extend to the entire state of Connecticut. Sponsors are chosen by the resident within the first few weeks. There are two recommended intensive outpatient services near us and many opportunities for work. No matter what, the resident has the final word in all their choices.
Welcome
Our Leadership
Co-Founders are Lisa Ferguson and Rob Schiffer, and, while a small number of supportive rehabs did not necessarily advise or make any financial investment in us, they did take an educated chance on us in 2015 and together, we've been helping change lives. With backgrounds in personal recovery, personal family recovery, business, insurance, education, and a love for recovering people, science, horses, construction, education, and 12-step recovery, we have seen real change at Right Path House as we put all our love, care, skill, and knowledge into use.
