Sober Living ResidenceCanal House: A Residential Sober Living FacilityOffering a safe and supportive living environment for individuals in recovery Since 1998, the CDC has owned and operated Canal House, a residential sober living facility that can accommodate five men and three women, plus an on-site program manager. The facility is located within walking distance of local amenities and public transportation. Partnering with Gosnold on Cape Cod, a not-for-profit 501©3 organization that provides addiction and mental health treatment, Canal House residents participate in developing individualized service plans utilizing twelve step principles, family involvement and continuing care support. During this time they also work in local jobs, attend school, or perform community service. Residents of Canal House live in private rooms while sharing living room, kitchen, and bathroom facilities. They pay rent on a sliding scale (subsidized through the Orleans Housing Authority, if necessary) as they participate in their treatment program. Other financial support is derived solely by donations from the Lower Cape community – including individuals, businesses, and religious organizations. In the nine years the program has been operating, twenty-nine residents of Canal House have successfully completed the program and returned to the community as productive members. Canal House responds directly to the affordable housing needs of individuals who are experiencing a transitional time in their lives. It offers a safe living environment free from the pressures that may have contributed to their situation, allowing the residents to focus their efforts on a successful recovery.
