Is A Sober Living Home For You?

drugs_1.news3You’ve just completed an in-patient drug or alcohol treatment program. You are ready to go out and face the world. But are you? If not, a sober living facility could be for you.

What exactly is a sober living facility?Treatment-Centers.net describes it:

Sober living is intended to be a transitional housing option for addicts and alcoholics who have already completed an inpatient drug and alcohol rehab program. Sober living is typically a group home providing support within its walls to and from the residents, all with the same common goal of staying sober from drugs and alcohol.

There are some requirements for living in such a place. These are common ones:

  • You must submit to random drug testing and searches of your room for drugs or alcohol.
  • You must get a job or go to school.
  • There is a curfew (usually around 9pm) that must be obeyed.
  • You must continue to attend AA-type meetings.
    Some residents can stay with family or friends on weekends, but that privilege must be earned.

A facility such as this could be perfect for the recovering addict who still needs help, and may not be able to get it at home. Here, you have your fellow recovering addicts to lean on and help you through the tough times.

Where do calls go?

Calls to numbers on a specific treatment center listing will be routed to that treatment center. Calls to any general helpline (non-facility specific 1-8XX numbers) could be forwarded to SAMHSA or a verified treatment provider. Calls are routed based on availability and geographic location.

The 12Step.com helpline is free, private, and confidential. There is no obligation to enter treatment. In some cases, 12Step.com could charge a small cost per call, to a licensed treatment center, a paid advertiser, this allows 12Step.com to offer free resources and information to those in need by calling the free hotline you agree to the terms of use. We do not receive any commission or fee that is dependent upon which treatment provider a caller chooses.
