OUR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is sober living?

Sober living provides a residential aspect to the recovery journey, offering individuals a supportive environment to continue their path towards sobriety. Participants reside together in a single family home within regular neighborhoods, enjoying the freedom to come and go within set curfew hours. This shared living fosters mutual accountability, as like-minded individuals strive for the common goal of finding balance between life and recovery. Homes are drug-free and alcohol-free, overseen by a house manager who ensures compliance with rules and oversees household activities.
