Sober Living Halfway House-What is it?
Sober Living Homes provide more freedom than other sober transitional living environments. Many of them are structured around Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and sound recovery methodologies. Residents are often required to participate in drug alcohol recovery meetings, take drug tests and show demonstrably that they are taking important steps to long lasting recovery. The SLE (sober living environment) movement began on the west coast of the United States and has spread around the country.
The concept of Sober Living reached a wider audience during the 2008 VH-1 series Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, where the concept was discussed extensively in episode #8.
Sober Living Home Requirements include: Each individual SLE will have different requirements for the residents, but many will have these typical requirements:
- No drugs or alcohol
- Mandatory AA meeting attendance
- Random drug tests
- On-time bill payments
- General acceptance by peer group at the SLE
Sober Living Homes are a relatively new phenomenon, so there are not many studies about their success rates. However, they are growing all over the country, so the amount on new options for people is a testament to their success. Many people who have lived in Sober Living Environments find that their stay has been an important part of the recovery process. They provide the support and understanding that many people need to stay clean and sober. Check out the best sober living homes on newliferecovery.net - click here.
