Who qualifies for sober living and when should you consider moving in?

Who qualifies for sober living and when should you consider moving in?
Posted on

After one has finished rehab, there is still a long way to go. Soberness in reality can prove challenging, particularly if one does not have proper support. A Sober Living Halfway House comes in. It provides a secure environment in which one can live while continuing recovery. So, who is it for, and how do you know if it is right for you?

What is a Sober House Halfway House?

A Sober Living Halfway House is a group home for those in recovery. It is not a treatment center by any means, yet it provides structure. There are requirements that need to be obeyed, such as remaining drug-free, doing chores around the house, and going to support meetings. Some places also have curfews or drug testing. The idea is to assist in helping you remain sober while acclimating once more to daily routines.

Sober living provides a degree of independence higher than in rehab, but with aftercare designed to prevent relapse. It is an environment wherein people who know what it is like understand and can help you daily.

Who can live in sober living?

Sober living is for those who are already sober, usually after completing treatment. You may be eligible if

  • have been drug-free for several weeks or more
  • Are dedicated to remaining sober
  • Can adhere to house rules and attend meetings
  • Need structure and support in daily life

It is particularly useful for those who have no stable or secure environment in which they can go back after rehab.

When Should You Move In?

You should consider sober living if:

  • You have completed rehab and are uncertain about returning home
  • You fear ending up falling into bad habits
  • You need time in order to develop improved habits and remain on track
  • Your environment is not conducive to recovery

Even if some time has elapsed since treatment, sober living can still be an intelligent choice.
