Discover the Benefits of Sober Living at Kennebec House
Consistent Peer Support
When a person becomes addicted to drugs or alcohol, a lot of other obligations are tossed out the window. This might include eating healthy, exercising regularly, keeping a clean home, and maintaining good personal hygiene. One of the benefits of Kennebec House is the structure it puts back into each resident’s life.Our homes can help you to regain life skills and personal responsibility. This may be tasks as simple as doing laundry and keeping a clean living space to more difficult obligations such as finding employment.

At Kennebec House, you are surrounded by men in different stages of recovery. They will offer many levels of support and hold you accountable on a daily basis. Our residents come from a variety of backgrounds and span many generations.

We at Kennebec House are here to help you find what that means for you!
