Monday House is currently in development in New York

A different kind of recovery residence

Getting sober saved your life. Now it’s time to build one you don’t want to escape from.

Monday House is for people ready to build a life in recovery—one with structure, purpose, work, connection, and somewhere meaningful to go next.

More Mondays Ahead.
Structured sober living with a built-in work-and-life program—so residents can leave more independent, capable, and connected than they arrived.

The space after treatment

Sober—but still trying to find your footing.

Whether you asked for help, were held accountable, made it through treatment, or reached a point where you knew your relationship with your life had to change—you did something hard. Then comes the question no one talks about enough: what happens next?

Getting sober does not automatically rebuild the life addiction interrupted. There are mornings to fill. Work, school, or purpose to return to—or move toward. Relationships to repair. Bills, appointments, confidence, and direction to rebuild.

That is the gap Monday House is being created to meet: a supportive home where recovery is protected while real life starts moving again.

Because the goal is not simply to stay sober inside a house. It is to become someone who can build a life beyond it.

More than a bed

A stronger you belongs here.

Monday House will combine the stability of sober living with the practical support people need to become more independent, capable, and connected.

01

Stability without stagnation

Clear expectations, substance-free living, and accountability—without making recovery feel like life has been put indefinitely on hold.

02

Community without chaos

A thoughtfully run shared home where residents are known, respected, and expected to contribute to the life of the house.

03

Structure with a destination

Support for the ordinary, essential work of building a week—and then building a future you can actually picture yourself in.

Inside Monday House: Monday Desk

Recovery gave you time back. Monday Desk helps you use it.

Monday Desk is Monday House’s dedicated weekday work-and-life program—not the residence itself. It gives residents a clear rhythm for rebuilding everything addiction made harder to start, finish, or face.

01
Make the plan

Turn vague pressure into concrete next steps and a week that feels possible.

02
Do the work

Focused time for jobs, education, paperwork, finances, appointments, and life administration.

03
Build momentum

Review progress, get unstuck, and leave each week further along than you started.

Designed with evidence

Serious about what actually helps people change.

Monday House was founded by Stella Sweeney, whose background includes building healthcare programs around people with complex chronic conditions. She is joined by Josh Aleksanyan, PhD, an addiction and population-health researcher helping translate evidence into the day-to-day structure of the home. They are childhood friends who share a personal passion for the kind of recovery that works in real life.

That does not mean making a home feel clinical. It means asking better questions, building with intention, listening closely to residents, and improving the program based on what people genuinely need—not what merely sounds good in a brochure.

Research translated into daily lifeEvidence should shape the structure residents actually experience.
Progress without perfectionAccountability that is honest, consistent, and grounded in dignity.
Connected—not isolatedDesigned to work alongside each resident’s outside clinical and recovery supports.

Who Monday House is for

You do not need to have everything figured out.

You do need to be willing to show up—for your recovery, for the people you live with, and for the life waiting on the other side of this chapter.

Committed to living substance-free
Ready for meaningful structure
Open to accountability
Willing to participate in a shared home
Working, studying, volunteering—or moving toward it
Connected to appropriate outside support

Monday House is planned as supportive sober living, not a treatment facility or substitute for clinical care.
