Recovery Support in Milford, CT
Ellis Sober House offers a structured, supportive environment for those stepping down from treatment or building a foundation for lasting recovery. You don't have to do this alone.
About Us
Ellis Sober House is more than a residence — it's a stepping stone toward independent, sober living. Located on a quiet street in Milford, our home provides the structure and community that many find essential after treatment.
We understand that recovery doesn't end when a program ends. The days and weeks that follow can be the hardest. That's why we've built an environment where accountability, peer support, and genuine care are part of everyday life.
What We Offer
Whether you're transitioning from a residential program or establishing a new routine of sobriety, our home is designed to meet you where you are.
A clean, structured home environment free from substances, where residents support one another through the challenges of early recovery — together.
Living alongside others who understand what you're going through reduces isolation and builds the kind of accountability that no program can provide alone.
We help residents develop the practical skills — from employment readiness to personal routine — that make long-term independence possible after leaving our home.
Recovery is as much emotional as it is physical. Our house fosters a culture of openness, where checking in with yourself and others is encouraged every day.
From connecting to local support meetings to navigating employment and housing, we help residents access the tools and networks they need beyond our doors.
Consistent schedules, shared responsibilities, and clear house guidelines create the stability that many need to rebuild habits and regain confidence.
Our Approach
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all recovery. Every person who walks through our door has a different story, different challenges, and a different timeline. What we offer is a steady, supportive environment where progress is measured in real, lasting steps.
Our house operates on mutual respect and shared responsibility. Residents contribute to the daily life of the home — cooking, cleaning, supporting each other — because those small acts of accountability are where real change begins.
Call us or visit our home to learn about availability, house rules, and what to expect. There's no pressure — just an honest conversation about whether this is the right next step for you.
Once accepted, you'll join a house that already has rhythm and routine. You'll be matched with housemates who respect your journey and hold you accountable with kindness.
Over time, you'll develop stronger coping tools, deeper connections, and the confidence that comes from living sober day by day — in a place that actually feels like home.
When you're ready, we help you transition — whether that means moving into your own place, rejoining work or school, or continuing your recovery in a less structured setting.
Resident Stories
The people who live here are the best measure of what this place can offer. Their words speak louder than anything we could write.
I came to Ellis Sober House right after treatment and wasn't sure I could make it on my own. The structure here — the routines, the people — gave me something I didn't know I was missing. A reason to keep going.
Milford, CT
What surprised me most was how normal it felt. It wasn't a clinical environment — it was a home. And the accountability wasn't punishment. It was people who actually cared whether I showed up for myself.
New Haven, CT
I was skeptical about sober living. I'd tried things before and they hadn't worked. But the community here is different — it's built on shared experience, not rules for the sake of rules. That made all the difference.
