About this facility
Community Action for Safe Alternatives to Prevent Addiction and Recidivism (CASPAR), part of Bay Cove Human Services, provides a residential program in Somerville, Massachusetts for men aged 18 and older who have completed detox. It offers a structured, supportive setting to build stability and sobriety. The program also includes outreach and emergency services, such as street outreach and shelters that deliver immediate support and link individuals to recovery resources.
The program lasts six to nine months and focuses on building recovery skills, personal growth, and long-term success. Residents get help with finding stable housing, forming a sober support network, and preparing for life after treatment. CASPAR uses evidence-based practices and meets people wherever they are in their recovery journey, offering non-judgmental and respectful care.
A typical day includes group therapy, one-on-one sessions, daily routines, and community support. Residents work on recovery goals while learning how to manage stress, make healthy choices, and strengthen their recovery network. The home provides a calm and caring place where men can focus on healing and developing the tools they need to stay sober and rebuild their lives.
