Sober Living During Recovery from Substance Abuse
A Sober Living House, also known as a half way house or three quarter way house, plays an important role in one's recovery from Substance Abuse. Recovery can feel like fighting an uphill battle for the newly sober person, especially after undergoing the difficult period of drug and alcohol detoxification. Addiction fosters hazardous behavioral patterns that ultimately become the only coping mechanisms for everyday life. Once the use and abuse is gone, a person abruptly finds themselves without normal survival skills. Becoming part of a supportive recovering community and making new friends, is a vital part of maintaining long-term sobriety, and developing essential tools for interpersonal relationships.
That's where the importance of "sober living" comes into play. Statistics show that those who attend "sober living houses" have an eighty percent higher chance of remaining drug and alcohol free for the rest of their lives. The experience of being surrounded by residents who understand each other's struggles combined with the presence of a caring staff, is an imperative resource that no newly sober person should be without. "Sober living" provides an environment where alcoholics and addicts can advance their recovery while beginning to make healthy lifestyle choices and enjoying life in a caring and responsible way.
A "sober living house" is also commonly referred to as a "half way house" or a "three quarter way house". "Sober living" provides every resident within its walls with critical support. Everyone works diligently toward the same common goal: successfully maintaining sobriety. In some cases, "sober living" serves as a transitional housing option for addicts and alcoholics that are trying to achieve freedom from substance abuse. Sober living has assisted many of our walk-ins with the right environment to recovery from from former struggles with drug addiction or alcoholism.
