Riverbend Men's Recovery Home, formerly Lowell House Men's Recovery Home, offers men a place to live while they address substance use and prepare to return to their communities. The setting is residential, so people stay on site and follow structured days that include one-on-one sessions, group meetings, and classes about how alcohol and drugs affect the body and mind. Staff also help residents connect with outside services for health care and housing through referrals. This Tewksbury recovery home for men provides a residential setting with 16-30 beds and structured daily programming.
Riverbend Incorporated, a nonprofit holding 501(c)(3) status, operates the home. Money for the program arrives from more than one place: the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, MassHealth, payments from clients, grants, and fundraising in the community. Because support is spread across those sources, the program can continue and serve men who may have no other way to pay for care. Riverbend Men's Recovery Home in Tewksbury dates to 1972 and belongs to a Massachusetts nonprofit organization.
Riverbend treats mental health conditions that often occur alongside substance use disorders. Each person gets a care plan that addresses both areas at once, with the goal of supporting lasting recovery. The approach is described as individualized and compassionate. If you are considering this center, then asking about the care plan and how it addresses both substance use and mental health is important.
