A Sober & Safe Environment
Sober Living Homes provide a sober and safe environment separate from Inpatient Residential and Detoxification programs.
The success of an addict’s recovery is significantly increased by a long-term treatment plan that includes sober living. Sober living provides a person in recovery a greater chance of long-term success by providing a foundation of accountability, structure, and a model for a life of sobriety.
Sober Living Homes in California have a house manager that runs the day-to-day activities and provides structure and routines for its residents. These activities prepare residents for a substance-free and independent future.
Improve your chances of recovery
In an inpatient treatment center, individuals are immersed in rehab programs and generally don’t have much dependence. Residents in sober living homes aren’t bound to the facility and can come and go as they please. This allows individuals to ease back into normal life and can go back to their daily tasks and responsibilities. Although sober living homes are less restrictive than inpatient facilities, they still have rules that residents must abide by, including curfews and group meeting attendance.
A big part of staying in a sober living home is creating a support system to allows residents to avoid the isolation that can sometimes come with returning home while in recovery.
The goal is to help men and women successfully reintegrate themselves into their families, workplaces and social circles while encouraging lifestyle choices that promote a sustained, thriving sobriety.
