In general, sober living homes are privately owned homes for people recovering from drug or alcohol addiction.
Homes are usually located in quiet and peaceful neighborhoods, where members can de-stress and focus on their growth and recovery journeys. Many sober living homes offer overnight or weekend passes that allow residents to have overnight visits with family and spouses. If someone drinks or uses drugs while living in a sober home, they violate the most important house rule and may be asked to leave. Practically speaking, sober living is simply a house or apartment whose main function is to provide residents with a safe, supportive, alcohol- and drug-free family environment during their stay.
Most sober lives also require residents to attend a recovery meeting or support group a certain number of times a week, and some may require regular appointments with licensed addiction treatment specialists, such as counselors, therapists, or addiction psychiatrists. For residents who may need help finding a doctor, therapist, group, or specialist, seek a sober living that offers clinical referrals to trained addiction recovery specialists. This regulated schedule is crucial to helping people in early recovery learn to live sober, creating positive and healthy habits, such as living responsibly, sticking to a schedule and being responsible. Sober households almost always have strict curfew rules that allow residents to go out during the day to work, recovery meetings, doctor's appointments, family visits, and more, as long as they return home sober, before curfew.
While residents living in sober households have a high level of independence, supervisory staff, as well as other residents, help hold each other accountable for their behavior and sobriety. An out-of-state sober living program can help residents update their priorities to focus on sobriety. Sober Living Homes are alcohol- and drug-free environments where residents can establish or maintain their sobriety. Sober homes are not clinical settings, so while staff members and case managers often have experience in addiction recovery, in addition to having general knowledge of first aid, CPR, and Narcan training, most sober households do not have doctors or specialists in personal.
Sober households are an especially beneficial option for those who do not have a solid and sober support system at home. Services such as recovery training, sober companions, sober transportation, and clinical referrals are valuable tools when a resident's sobriety is vulnerable. While sober living is not a clinical setting, many offer valuable recovery services that provide additional levels of support when it is needed most. Beware of sober people operating below the standard ethical guidelines of addiction recovery in their daily operation, administration or marketing.
