Spero Recovery’s sober living homes offer continued support post-12-step drug treatment program completion, addressing substance abuse, alcoholism, and co-occurring disorders. Residents live in a supportive community environment, working on their recovery while receiving personalized comfort and upscale amenities.
What is Sober Living?
Sober living is a treatment option after completing detox, residential, or outpatient care. It’s a way to continue addiction treatment in a supportive community with greater independence than individuals may feel in inpatient and outpatient treatment programs.
Sober living entails residing in a supportive residential environment alongside like-minded individuals who are also on the path to recovery. Unlike primary treatment facilities, sober living homes provide a transitional space where residents can gradually reintegrate into society while maintaining sobriety.
How Does Sober Living Work?
Upon entry, residents undergo an intake process including drug testing and a review of obligations, rules, and chores. While admission is sometimes possible with a positive drug test, being intoxicated is not permitted. Residents are provided with essential amenities and are expected to complete weekly household chores, attend meetings, maintain cleanliness, adhere to curfew, and participate in recovery meetings.
