The Cove76 program is about more than staying sober. It's about building the kind of life that makes sobriety worth it.
Addiction is a lack of love problem. The opposite of addiction is connection. Everything at Cove76, the Shabbos table, the mentors, the jobs, the community, is built around that single truth.
Too many sober homes define success as "not using." We define it as a person with a job they show up to, relationships they've repaired, purpose they've found, and pride in who they're becoming. That's the only outcome that actually lasts.
Cove76 focuses on health, mental health, physical health, exercise, nutrition, therapy, counseling, creativity, spirituality, and purpose. Because everything a person in this position genuinely needs is on the table. Nothing is left out.
Clear house expectations, regular check-ins, curfews with logic behind them, and leadership that enforces boundaries with warmth rather than authority. Residents know what's expected, and why.
Davening together, learning, and building a genuine relationship with Hashem is a core pillar of life at Cove76, not a checkbox. For many residents, this spiritual reconnection is what anchors everything else. A person who feels Hashem's presence in their life has something worth protecting.
Shabbos isn't an add-on. It's the heartbeat of the house. The weekly pause, the communal table, the separation from the noise: many residents describe it as the first time they felt at peace in years.
We actively help residents find and maintain employment, pursue GEDs or trade programs, and build professional skills. Employment is an expectation, and we provide real support to get there.
Residents are connected to the broader Jewish community through events, mentors, and learning. When someone moves on, the relationship continues. Former residents come back, give back, and bring others in. You don't graduate from Cove76. You belong to it.
Therapy, exercise, nutrition, creativity, all of it matters here. We coordinate with each resident's clinical team and connect them with vetted professionals when needed. Physical and emotional health are not separate goals.
This is a general picture, actual schedules are built around each resident's work, school, and treatment commitments.
Morning davening, breakfast, chores, then out the door, work, school, appointments. The day begins with intention and ends with reflection.
Communal dinner, followed by a group check-in, speaker meeting, shiur, or free time. Curfew is firm and respected.
Full Shabbos preparation Thursday and Friday. Candle-lighting, Kabbalas Shabbos, three seudos, Havdalah. Every week. No exceptions. For many, the highlight.
Learning nights, networking dinners, alumni Shabbatons. Residents are plugged into a broader network, not just a house.
Being clear about this from the start is part of how we build trust.
A safe, supervised home with clear expectations and real accountability.
Connection to peers, alumni, mentors, and the broader Jewish community.
Active support for employment, education, and personal development.
We work alongside therapists, psychiatrists, and sponsors, not instead of them.
Not a licensed treatment center
We do not provide medical detox, clinical therapy sessions, or psychiatric prescribing. Please ensure medical stability before placement.
Not a crisis stabilization unit
Cove76 is designed for individuals who have achieved initial stability and are ready to build forward, not for acute medical or psychiatric crisis.
Not a revolving door
We have expectations. Residents who consistently violate house agreements may not be able to stay. We hold the bar because that's how we protect everyone in the home.
