Freddy's House - Centreville

​Dedicated as "Freddy's House" - Mission Statement
At Freddy’s House, we aim to provide a safe, clean, secure and sober living environment for men serious about recovery.   Our objective is to provide a stable, safe environment for our residents while promoting and aiding in the recovery of those individuals with a goal to improve the quality of their lives.​

Dedicated to Fred Farley in 2020 …
For fourteen years, Fred was the manager and mentor of the Oxford Recovery House, on Bridge Street in Lowell, now known as "Freddy's House."
He was a proud member of AA for 15 years. Many who speak of Fred begin with the sentence, "he saved my life".  Freddy passed just shy of his 16th Sober Anniversary.
Freddy’s House is an independent, sober living environment for men looking to expand on their recovery in a family style setting. 

​Freddy's House has a strong and established community.

Freddy's House - Belvidere

​Dedicated as "Paul’s Place" 
At Paul’s Place, we help those in recovery, stay in recovery.  It is our mission to provide the opportunity for a better life. 

Paul, for whom this house has been named, who earned the right to retire years ago, traveled every day over an hour each way, throughout one of the coldest winters to work in the first house we purchased as foreclosure to build Russo Home for Veterans.  Everywhere you look, in every project we take on, you find his work.
​
His support and belief in us truly created a home where often there were just walls.  But Paul reminds us;

FOCUS – Don’t let anything get in the way of reaching your dream!

Freddy's House - Highlands

​Dedicated as "Mark's Place" 
Mark Joseph Lotti (aka) “Scooter” - August 07, 1961 – January 04, 1999

Mark, better known as “Scooter” for most of his life, was fortunate to grow-up in this beautiful home on Loring Street with his mom, Doris A Lotti and his grandparents, Alice H. and Harold A. Kelloway.
Scooter unfortunately succumbed to the disease of alcoholism at the early age of 37. Many times, he did ask for help and was denied for one reason or another, and so we (his family) would love to dedicate this beautiful home in his memory.
As much as we will miss visiting this home and our family members who lived here, it’s heart-warming to know this home will now serve many who have similar struggles, as did Scooter.  It’s our hope this home will serve all who live here with continued sobriety, comfort, and encouragement.
We will continue to miss our Scooter with all our hearts.
- his loving family (05/2022)

We who comprise Russo Home for Veterans and all of Freddy's House are so honored to come together in his memory, and continue to serve the men who will reside in this home.  Thank you.

​​THE KEY TO SUCCESS IS ​PERSERVERANCE

Understanding Sober Living Houses
Social factors play a significant role in recovery outcomes. One of the most critically important elements of a person’s social network is their living environment.

According to research published in the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment, Sober House living facilitates positive outcomes including substance use, symptoms, and addiction severity.

"Lack of a stable, alcohol and drug free living environment can be a serious obstacle to sustained abstinence. Destructive living environments can derail recovery for even highly motivated individuals." US National Library of Medicine"
