On the beautiful Connecticut shore, we own and operate two gender-specific sober living homes: a men's and a women's home in Clinton and Madison. In safe, certified, and comfortable sober houses, we offer a recovery community where we get well, have hope, and find purpose.

 

More Than a Safe Home — A Place to Belong, Grow, and Lead 

Our homes are supportive and structured. You can rebuild your life, connect with others who understand your journey, and turn sobriety into a life worth living with a confident, lasting recovery.

​

Your Story Matters 

We believe sober housing can be more than what it's been in the past. Here, sobriety is not just a rule to follow — it’s the foundation for building your life recovery as a lived identity. Your story is welcomed, valued, and woven into a community that thrives on connection, accountability, and hope. We're 12-step based with wrap-around professional services. What unites any 12-step community is 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. In-house, we actively create connection through our shared dinners and morning meetings for those not at IOP.  Plus, house outings to the beach, hiking trails or enjoying any one of the interesting activities in the greater New Haven/Connecticut Shore area. We're also host to our local women's AA community by opening our doors to a Women's Speaker Meeting every Wednesday evening. 

​

Our Culture

Committed to safety 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.

​​​

Our Approach

Our approach empowers adults in recovery by providing a safe, CTARR certified, sober living home where evidence based structure, peer and professional leadership, and compassionate accountability converge. We commit to helping you with case management, coaching, wraparound clinical collaboration, and accessible supports—including neurofeedback, the horse farm, volunteer or work opportunities, and 12‑step integration—so residents rebuild stability, purpose, and lasting wellness. We honor dignity, measure outcomes, and partner with families and communities to turn recovery into a durable path forward.

​

Our Value

We create our value through our homes with mostly private rooms and ensuite baths, our family coaching, our program's structure, our proximity to experienced clinical support, our towns on the Connecticut shoreline, and our skilled coaches. Our coaches go through a training program that allows them to de-escalate, offer compassion with accountability, and motivate residents to use their authentic voice and always be heading toward recovery.

​

Our Science ​

We crafted our program based on the decades of research that SAMHSA provides on long-term recovery. There are four main stays, or pillars: (1) a community of peers, (2) a sense of purpose, (3) safety for a recovering person in the house and (4) a program of wellness that encompasses a whole life. We've also found Neurofeedback to help residents that have a history of multiple rehab experiences only to drink and get high again. 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. In PTSD, neurofeedback can help stabilize neural patterns linked to hypervigilance and sleep disruption. Neurofeedback is most effective when used alongside trauma-focused therapy as part of a coordinated treatment plan.

​​

Our Method

In addition to working with their coach, we believe that each person also needs a clinician and a sponsor with whom they truly and genuinely connect. We hand-pick clinical specialists from the surrounding area for in-person and for virtual, the selection extends to the entire state. 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 their choice.

​​

Our Collaboration

We partner closely with hand-selected rehabs to create a seamless continuum of care that honors each resident’s dignity and practical needs. We coordinate with the rehabs a be-to-bed transfer and align individual clinical treatment plans so residents move from the intensive care phase of their recovery journey into our community‑based setting without losing momentum. Our collaboration includes coordinating clinical recommendations, bed-to-bed transfers, and shared relapse‑prevention strategies. Working with the rehab's continuing care department. ensures each resident's new clinical and peer supports are reinforcing and ready to expand on the work they began in rehab. 

​

Our Monthly Rate

Right Path House is a private‑pay residence because we invest in experienced, trauma informed coaching staff, exceptional housing locations, and offer therapeutic amenities that directly support lasting recovery. Our homes are located in welcoming and secure, Connecticut 'Shore' neighborhoods with comfortable shared and private spaces that reduce stress and promote community. The monthly rate reflects that combination of skilled staff, convenient locations, and practical amenities—an investment in a safer, more predictable pathway to sustained recovery.
