OUR HOUSES

The Sober Houses of Westchester (SHOW) are located in White Plains, New York and were established in 2023 as a new recovery program for adult men. SHOW’s houses are centrally located at 14 & 16 Longview Ave. SHOW has established a program to provide a structured, supportive environment for suffering alcoholics and drug addicts seeking recovery. While participating in the SHOW program our members stay at one of our houses. Our SHOW program focuses on Sobriety, Honesty, Openness and Willingness.
