About Our Sober Living Homes
How We Help You
A Supportive Environment
One of the best things about living in a sober living facility is the supportive environment you suddenly find yourself in. In the house with you will be residents who have been through similar situations. They will all be sober but still have substance abuse disorders, all using the sober living house as a way to stay on the right path. If you are having a hard day and need someone to discuss your thoughts with, you’ll be surrounded by people who genuinely understand.
Reasonable Rules
At our sober living homes in California, there will be reasonable rules for everyone in the home. There will be a house manager in the house who will be responsible for ensuring rules are abided by and for the overall daily operations. Often, the house manager will be someone who is in recovery themselves, which makes them even more understanding.
Aftercare
Once the time comes to leave our sober living home, we can help set up aftercare for you. We can sort out substance abuse treatment like group therapy and individual counselling sessions, for example.
A Drug and Alcohol-Free Zone
All of our California sober living homes are completely alcohol and drug-free. This makes it a safe zone for anyone wanting to continue their recovery journey, as they do not have to worry about temptations and relapsing.
A Comfortable Environment
Our California sober living homes provide a range of comforts. These will be your home for a few months, after all. So you want to have a place where you can unwind and relax! There’ll be comfy furniture, places to hang out, high-quality facilities, and green spaces.
Mentorship
When in our California sober living home, you will receive mentorship from a dedicated house manager. They will provide you with all the guidance and support you need to continue living a life free from drugs. They will help you navigate the complex place you find yourself in, and if you have any questions or concerns, they will always be there to answer them. In essence, you will have a person you can truly rely on and who will motivate you to live better.

Is a Sober Living Home Right for You?
What to Consider
-
1. Your Stage of Recovery
The type of treatment services you need depends on your stage of recovery. If you are still in the early days of recovery - for example, you are still taking drugs or drinking alcohol and require a detox - then a sober living house likely isn't for you, and more intensive substance abuse treatment would work better. However, if your body is clean from drugs and alcohol but you are not yet ready to return to your daily life, a sober living home provides a good middle ground. -
2. The House Rules
It’s important to keep in mind that sober living homes have strict rules, with the most important rule being that it’s a drug and alcohol free zone. You need to familiarize yourself with these rules and ensure that you can abide by them during your entire stay. If you feel like you are still in a position where you might be tempted to take drugs in the home, you may be better off seeking another residential recovery program -
3. Your Home Situation
What is your home situation like? If you don't have a stable home, a sober living house can provide that safe space. However, people who have access to homes with care from supportive friends and family may find a sober living facility isn't necessary for them.
