About Us

The Keystone House is sober living home for young men in recovery, living together in mutual support. In this harmonious environment, individuals are united by desire to further their recovery from addiction. Founded in 2016, the Keystone house is dedicated to the memory of Matthew J Barba and his passion for helping young men battle addiction. Opening this sober home was Matt’s dream and his final project before he died on December 16, 2016.  He battled addiction and helped many young men on their journey of sobriety. He had a beautiful, loving soul and was an inspiration to many individuals. We will continue to honor his legacy and provide a safe, supportive environment for men struggling with addiction and aid them in their journey of recovery.
