About Riverbend Zack's House

Zack’s House is a transitional housing program supporting young men ages 18-35 in recovery overcoming substance use. Participants entering the program will have completed detox and been in recovery for 3-6 months. As part of a supportive community, clients receive case management, recovery coaching, clinical consultation as needed, and participate in weekly house meetings with staff and residents. Participants work with recovery coaches to formulate individualized, trauma-informed action plans for future treatment and relapse prevention. Cost for Zack’s House is $600 monthly for a double room and $800 for a single room.
Zack’s House is named after Zachary Gys, a Lowell resident who died of drug overdose in 2013. His family and friends partnered with Lowell House to found Zack’s House as transitional housing to help young men facing similar substance use concerns. Zack’s House aims to bridge the gap between residential recovery environments and independent living, providing support to help set up participants for long-term sobriety.
Zack’s House is part of Lowell House Incorporated, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Lowell House receives funding from a combination of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, MassHealth Insurance, client fees, grants, and fundraising.

How do I start treatment at Riverbend Zack's House?
Call the facility directly at (978) 459-8656 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
