WOMEN'S SOBER HOUSE 

We sit atop Acorn Hill in Madison, Connecticut. 6800 square feet of elegant home with 60 windows and hardwood floors.

Our town has is an indie movie theater, 8 restaurants, 4 coffee shops, R.J Julia's Bookstore, Starbucks and a Stop and Shop grocery store. We're less than a mile from Hammonasett State Park and the Greenway Trail. The train station and bus stop, which runs along the shore towns into New Haven and beyond are within walking distance. The town, the beach, the 12-step, everything is a short walk. Life's about to get a whole lot better now that you're sober.

OUR SOBER HOME

Right Path Sober House is a former inn in Madison, Connecticut. Originally built in 1925, there are two perfectly executed additions in 1988 and 2016. It's conveniently situated on the edge of an incredibly safe town and walkable to the Madison Town Beach, Hammonasett Beach State Park, a PHP and IOP, individual clinical specialists, and the train station. We offer private and shared rooms with private baths with elegant hardwood floors, a sprinkling of antiques, over 60 windows, three lounge areas and an overly equipped chef's kitchen. There's also a cottage with a studio which houses the neurofeedback as well as garages to house the bicycles and kayaks.
