"A Sober Living Home is a 'safe place'
where a person newly in recovery can live.”
Research has shown that a person with short-term sobriety (typically coming out of detox, treatment, jail,
or just off the street) raises his chance of maintaining long-term sobriety ten-fold by entering a Sober Living Home before returning to everyday life.
A Sober Living Home or SLE (Sober Living Environment) is a "safe place" where a person newly in recovery can live. All of the residents living in the home are involved in recovery. A tremendous sense of community and family is created from living this new life in recovery together and sharing the same firm commitment to sobriety. Residents work together in their household, life-skill building, and supporting one another in their early sobriety. |

Each Alcoholic or Addict entering these homes has a different story behind him and a different degree of wreckage to repair. Typically a person can stay in his Sober Living Home for as long as he needs to, so long as he is working a program of recovery, being a law-abiding, active, and productive member of society, and being self-supporting through his own contributions.
Finding a quality sober living home is very important to an individual's success. Here are some tips...

Sober living environments (SLEs)
grew out
of a need to have safe and supportive place for people to live while they were in recovery. They are primarily meant to provide housing for people who have just come out of rehab (or recovery centers) and need a place to live that is structured and supporting for those in recovery. However, it is not necessary to come from rehab.
The SLE (sober living environment) movement began on the west coast of the United States and has spread around the country. SLEs provide much more than other transitional living environments. Many of them are structured around Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and sound recovery methodologies. Residents are often required to participate in recovery meetings, take drug tests and show demonstrably that they are taking important steps to long lasting recovery.
Each individual SLE will have different requirements for the residents, but many will have these typical requirements:
1. No drugs or alcohol
2. Mandatory AA meeting attendance
3. Random drug tests
4. On-time bill payments
5. General acceptance by peer group at the SLE
