About Stoodley Sober House
Stoodley Sober House is sober living for men in Claremont, New Hampshire, with seven beds in a restored Victorian manor on Broad Street in the downtown district. One bedroom is private and six beds are in shared rooms, and the bedrooms run large. The house has air conditioning, WiFi, cable, a computer station, storage and laundry, plus decent driveway space for cars. Work, transportation, counseling, a grocery and pharmacy, and parks are all close by. The home takes its name from Dr. Roland V. Stoodley, a longtime Claremont resident.
Enomay Sober Living Housing operates the house as a chartered member of the Vanderburgh Sober Living network. A House Mentor lives here, drug and alcohol screening is random, and the men meet weekly as a household. Curfew is 10 pm Sunday through Thursday nights and 11 pm on weekends; a guest whose shift runs later can stay out past it by showing his work schedule. With seven men in the house, an absence gets noticed. Stoodley is currently the only Vanderburgh home in Claremont.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can live at Stoodley Sober House?
Adults in recovery who are ready for a structured, substance-free house. This home serves men in Claremont, New Hampshire. Most guests arrive from treatment or from another recovery residence, but that is not a requirement.
What does it cost to move in?
$380. That is your first week at $180 plus the $200 move-in deposit. Rent after that is due weekly or monthly in advance.
Is this home certified?
Not currently. New Hampshire certifies recovery residences through New Hampshire Coalition of Recovery Residences (NHCORR), and this home is not certified by them today. It operates to the standards of The Vanderburgh Foundation, and certification status is something you are entitled to ask about directly.
Where is the home?
Claremont, NH. The exact street address is shared after your phone screen, which is how we protect the privacy of the people living here.
What is included in the rent?
Utilities, WiFi, laundry and urine screening are all covered by the weekly rate. There is no separate bill for any of them.
Are private rooms available?
Sometimes. Private rooms are $200 a week against $180 shared, and they go first to guests already living in the house, so they are rarely open to someone moving in.
How soon can I move in?
Apply online and someone calls you for a phone screen, usually within a few hours. Availability changes daily, so the call is where you find out what is actually open.
Life in Sober Living: Structure and Peer Support
Stoodley is a small house for seven men in downtown Claremont, run by Vanderburgh Sober Living staff and named for Dr. Roland V. Stoodley. With seven guests, the household is close: everyone knows everyone, and a man who is struggling cannot hide it for long. The men rely on each other and on a House Mentor who lives in the home for support, coaching and encouragement.
Curfew is 10 PM during the week and 11 PM on weekends, unless a guest is working past curfew and can show his schedule. Drug and alcohol tests are done at random. The house meeting day is still being set. The city bus loop starts at Opera House Square downtown, close to the house, so a new guest can get to work and appointments without a car.

Ways to Pay for Sober Living in Claremont
Most guests pay for sober living themselves, weekly or monthly. Rent is not currently covered by insurance or state subsidy. There are still more ways to cover it than most people expect, and the three below are the ones that come up most often. If money is the only thing standing between you and a bed, say so on the application. We would rather have that conversation than lose you to it.
Private Pay
Paying yourself is the most common route. Rent is all-inclusive: utilities, WiFi, laundry and urine screening all come out of the weekly rate, so there is no second bill to plan around. Most guests cover it from wages, and the house schedule is built to make that possible.
Family Support
Families often cover the first few weeks while a guest gets back to work. That is a normal way to start, and nobody here will treat it as unusual. A parent, partner or sibling can pay the deposit and rent directly, and we will walk them through the house rules, the schedule, and what to expect in the first month.
One thing to be clear about: the agreement is with the guest, not with the family.
Grants & Scholarships
Some states fund recovery housing directly, through scholarships, bed subsidies, or reentry grants run by state agencies and nonprofits. The money is limited and the programs change, so ask early instead of assuming there is nothing. Put it on your application if you need help with funding.
