In the Tharros kitchen with “my guys” I get to witness what is possible. I am honored to be able to observe their personal development. I see stiff bodies, hunched shoulders, reluctance, doubt and vacant stares, at first.
At Tharros House, you can expect to meet other male residents who are committed to their sobriety, have completed some form of primary treatment, and pass regular unannounced breathalyzer and urine tests. Our community offers extensive structure, much of which is optional. At Teras, clients work with their on-site case manager and our vocational coach to develop a recovery fellowship and engage work. Clients of Teras may also be involved in outpatient treatment while they develop a foundation in their recovery work, and apply to work positions.

Q: WHAT IS STRUCTURED AND SUPPORTIVE SOBER LIVING?
That study found that freestanding SLH’s offer enough structure, with no formal treatment, creating an optimal environment for residents ready for the next step. SLH’s provide an environment for individuals capable of handling a fair amount of autonomy and wish to take personal responsibility for their recovery. Teras, our flexible structure home, offers a lower cost model for those ready to return to work, and who have their own transportation.
However, experience has shown us, not every person with an addiction or alcoholism is the same. Our program isn’t cookie cutter; we want to get to know you and help ensure that you have what is necessary for you to achieve your goals. We help you see, what it is about you, you may have a hard time seeing. You are more likely to maintain long-term sobriety by entering and committing to a structured transitional living environment, like Tharros House. That’s why we encourage our clients to consider staying 6 months to one year. At Tharros House, we take a custom approach to each client, starting with a full understanding of each client’s needs and goals.
Our team connects with each client’s clinical providers to help understand what supports are needed before he arrives at Tharros. Teras, also located in Lexington MA, offers a less structured, but still supportive model of high standards sober living. Tharros House, located steps away from the center of Lexington, spans 4 levels with almost 8000 square feet of living space. All client guest rooms at Tharros are equipped with queen sized Serta Presidential Euro-top premium mattresses and high thread count linens. Teras is located two miles away from Tharros (both Tharros and Teras are in Lexington MA).

When teaching cooking with “my guys”, I am not a professional cook; I am a human being, cooking. Just because we may dump too much cinnamon in an apple turnovers doesn’t mean we aren’t “good enough”; we just let it go and move forward. I want them to feel at ease when trying something new. I don’t want them to be tense with feelings of pressure to do it the “right” way or feel shame if they do it “wrong”.
