About Teras House
Teras House is a sober living home for men in Lexington, Massachusetts, run by the same team as Tharros House about two miles away. It has less structure than Tharros, so it fits men who are working, in school, or ready to go back. Some residents come straight from treatment. Others move here after a few months at Tharros.
Balance Work and Recovery
Residents are expected to keep about 25 hours a week of work or other outside commitments and to have a job after 30 days. A case manager meets with each person weekly, and a vocational coach helps with resumes and the job search. Each day starts with a recovery coach check-in, and a zero tolerance rule is backed by breathalyzer checks and lab-confirmed urine tests.
Choose Your Own Path to Recovery
Staff are in long-term recovery themselves and come from different paths, including 12 Step, SMART Recovery, and Refuge Recovery. Residents get the same freedom to pick what works for them. Nightly reflection meetings are optional. Residents can also join some Tharros House groups, like mindfulness, recovery yoga, bowling, and ping-pong. Teras doesn't provide transportation, but residents can keep a car.
