What Exactly is a Sober Living Home?
Sober living is a home where you can live without drugs or alcohol. If you don’t have a safe place to return to after residential inpatient treatment, sober living provides you with a place to go.
Sober living is a group home that prevents the people staying there from using drugs or alcohol. It’s also a structured environment. There are rules every person needs to follow in order to stay at the house. Everyone who lives there will also have to do certain chores. Sober living helps people hold themselves accountable to getting things done. Sober living will also encourage everyone living there to create a daily routine, which is an integral part of sobriety. If you go to sober living, you will pay a monthly rent and purchase your own groceries.

How Does Sober Living Work?
Sober living is the most relaxed treatment option because you aren’t actually attending treatment when you’re there. Unlike residential inpatient treatment, you’ll spend your days working or looking for a job as well as working on your sobriety. Some people will also attend school while in a sober living. Participating in some sort of addiction treatment is also required when living in sober living. This can include outpatient treatment or 12-step recovery meetings. Most sober living programs we work with at Addiction Treatment Solutions are willing to drive you to and from AA meetings if you would want to partake.
When staying at a sober living, there might be random drug testing to make sure that you and the other people staying there are adhering to the guidelines of the home. This will allow the sober living to remain a sober environment for those who want to work on their sobriety. You can stay as long as you would like at a sober living as long as you are adhering to the rules of the home. Even though people live together and are supportive of one another, you are responsible for your own individual recovery and sobriety. If you or someone else starts to hinder the recovery of others, you might be asked to leave.
