Zero Tolerance Sober Living Partners with Vanderburgh Sober Living to Expand Recovery Housing in Taunton and New Bedford, MA

Three Zero Tolerance sober living homes in Taunton, Massachusetts, have officially partnered with Vanderburgh Sober Living to provide safe, structured, and affordable recovery housing for men and women in Taunton and New Bedford.

This partnership marks a new chapter in both organizations’ commitment to supporting individuals on their path to long-term sobriety through community-focused, abstinence-based housing.

A New Era at 42 Union Street, Taunton

In October 2022, Vanderburgh Sober Living assumed operations of the MASH Certified sober home located at 42 Union Street in Taunton, MA, bringing its nationally recognized recovery model to the South Coast region.

“We’re excited to join the New Bedford recovery community,” said Hunter Foote, Executive Director of Vanderburgh Sober Living. “Two of our first homes opened in Springfield in 2016, and now we are honored to serve the Taunton and New Bedford areas. It’s a privilege to support our residents and grow alongside these vibrant recovery communities.”

Zero Tolerance Home expressed full confidence in the future of this collaboration and its positive impact on local recovery housing.
