What Is Sober Living?

For many people, sober living is one of the best choices they ever make. A sober living is a house or facility that provides a safe and supportive place for people to live while they are in recovery. Sober living environments are generally most often used as a transition spot for people between being in a rehab and living on their own again. However, some people choose to go to a sober living environment instead of going to a rehab. The requirements and rules for being a resident at a sober living vary from place to place, but most sober living environments require residents to be drug and alcohol free, and to submit to random drug tests. A sober living will also generally encourage or require 12-step meeting attendance.

Many people who choose sober living find that it is a key component of their ongoing recovery process. Sober living can be helpful because of its warm and understanding environment, as well as the removal of any drugs or alcohol from the environment. Some sober living environments also incorporate house meetings, groups, or therapy sessions to supplement their sober environment. Other sober livings may help recovering addicts find jobs or get enrolled in classes.

Sober living can be a cost-effective alternative to inpatient rehab, while still offering the support necessary for the person to remain clean and sober. Sober living can be the choice that propels the client into a lasting recovery. In fact, recent research shows that sober living is very effective in promoting long-term recovery from alcoholism and addiction (http://condor.depaul.edu/ljason/oxford/). Moreover, sober living is becoming more common, especially on the west coast. Over 25,000 people every year choose to spend time in a sober living environment. Sober living houses are also becoming easier to find and available in more and more communities.

Most people who make the choice to enter a sober living discover that the sober living environment is enormously helpful in their recovery. Sober living promotes long-term sobriety and recovery from drugs and alcohol, and while in a sober living most people find new productive ways to live fulfilling lives without drugs and alcohol. The sober living community is an important source of support for addicts in early recovery and can create lasting friendships as well. If you or a loved one needs help with a drug or alcohol problem, consider sober living communities in your area. A sober living could be the first step to long-term recovery.
