Substance-free living environment
Early recovery is a sensitive time. Exposure to substances during or following treatment can trigger a relapse. Sober living offers residents a safe, stable home setting that is free of drugs and alcohol.
Much of the success of achieving long-term recovery depends on the level of support an individual has in their home environment. Research has consistently demonstrated that social support plays a crucial role in addiction recovery, enhancing motivation, accountability, and resilience while reducing the likelihood of relapse. For those who do not have a strong support system at home, sober living offers a solution.
Sober living offers substance-free housing for individuals in outpatient addiction treatment programs or following the completion of a residential treatment program. Sober living programs often act as a stepping stone that allows the individual to stabilize in recovery before transitioning back home.
Sober living homes are overseen by a house manager. The house manager may or may not reside at the sober house itself. Sober living environments operate under a collection of house rules to be adhered to by the residents. The house rules help to maintain a drug and alcohol-free living environment, as well as to provide order, safety, and cleanliness.
Sober living provides multiple benefits for individuals in recovery from substance abuse. These include:
An individual enrolled in an outpatient treatment program such as Arrive Recovery Center’s partial hospitalization program (PHP) or intensive outpatient program (IOP) may elect to reside in a sober living home instead of returning to their own home. This provides an added layer of support and protection in early recovery. This combination of aftercare and transitional housing provides flexibility that inpatient treatment does not, allowing the individual to engage in work and parenting duties outside of treatment hours while offering a safe, substance-free living environment.
