Recovery is a lifelong process. While getting sober requires a simple detox or rehab program, staying sober requires constant commitment and care. Returning home after treatment compromises a person's ability to live a sober life. When a person's life is filled with stress or pressure (such as old haunts or challenging relationships), it significantly increases their risk of relapse.
Fortunately, people who want to remain sober and maintain their recovery have options. Transitional sober living homes provide an independent, yet structured and sober home environment for people in recovery. In sober living, there are no temptations or distractions from alcohol or drugs. Furthermore, it means living in a place where you can rebuild and reinforce the sober life skills you acquired during your treatment.
While we've discussed the benefits of sobriety, what about the main benefit of sober living homes specifically? Living a sober life day-to-day, away from drugs and a substance-using society, has many benefits. Let's discuss what is in store for you in the best sober living homes.
As a resident of a sober living home, you will be surrounded by people who will support your recovery, and who will hold you accountable on a daily basis. As a rule, sober living homes have on-site managers who live in the house with you and the other tenants. We have managers on hand 24/7 to help you with any issues that may arise in your recovery - difficult cravings, low emotions, difficulties finding work. It's as simple as that. Many sober living homes that are part of a treatment facility will have support staff and alumni who have walked in similar shoes.
You will also be held accountable by your house manager. Managing a sober living house is not an easy task. Sober living homes have rules to keep residents happy, healthy, and sober. You might have rules such as no alcohol or drug use on site, a curfew each night, or regular drug tests to ensure sobriety. Someone who continuously violates the rules (despite the fact that relapses are normal) may not be permitted to stay. Maintaining a consistent environment (and expectations) is essential.
