High Point Treatment Center Harmony New Bedford

In New Bedford, Harmony House provides sober living housing for men and for people who identify as male; it has been operating since 1996. Staff look over each person's circumstances, together with any input sent by other detox or treatment programs, before anyone moves in, so the placement is a good match rather than a hurried one.

The residence has 16-30 beds, and the people living there are addressing substance use and, often, a co-occurring mental health condition at the same time. A stay typically runs about 30 days. When mental health care is needed, staff coordinate with providers outside the program, and they refer residents to medication-assisted treatment offsite when that is part of a person's plan.

Because Harmony House is sober living rather than a detox or hospital unit, it suits someone who has already completed withdrawal and is ready for a structured, substance-free setting. Harmony House in New Bedford uses an evidence-based and gender-specific approach alongside counseling and life skills. The house also works with people who have recently experienced homelessness and helps them move back into community life. The High Point Treatment Center network accepts MassHealth and can work with people who have no insurance or limited coverage through a sliding fee scale.

Setting at High Point

Harmony House is a 16-30 bed residence at 234 Earle Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and the setting is men only. Living alongside other men in early recovery gives residents daily structure, and the house arranges mental health care through outside providers when a resident needs it. Choosing a men-only sober living house in New Bedford can reduce distraction in early recovery, though it is not the right fit for everyone. If someone still needs medical monitoring for withdrawal, then a detox program should come first, because sober living does not provide that level of care. Admission depends on an evaluation and on space in the house, and no one is promised a bed in advance.

Paying for Harmony House in New Bedford

The High Point Treatment Center network accepts MassHealth, the state Medicaid program, and also lists cash pay rates. Harmony House in New Bedford accepts MassHealth and offers a sliding fee scale for people with limited coverage. If someone has no insurance or limited coverage, then a sliding fee scale may lower what they owe, so it is worth asking about before a start date is set. Harmony House is listed among the state's alcohol and drug rehab programs in SAMHSA FindTreatment.gov data for Massachusetts. Cost questions are best settled directly with the program, since the amount owed depends on the person's coverage and length of stay.
