One of the most helpful resources for those going through treatment at different TruHealing Centers locations is sober living in supportive housing. Though TruHealing does not currently offer sober living or community housing at any of our centers, we can connect our clients with sober living providers around the country. While in treatment for substance abuse, the stresses and triggers of daily life can hinder your progress. You might not have a strong network of support outside of the addiction treatment center and need an extra layer of accountability while you work on overcoming your addiction. In a sober living community housing program, you’ll live with other recovery-focused peers in a shared residence.
Group therapy is an important part of addiction treatment. During these sessions, you’ll learn from others who have experienced similar struggles with substance abuse. You’ll find support and encouragement as you share your experiences, and you’ll work towards your goals together. In a sober living environment, you’ll continue to develop your network of support around the clock. For those in outpatient addiction treatment programs like the ones we offer at TruHealing Centers, community housing can be an invaluable resource.
What Is a Sober Living Program?
While in outpatient treatment for substance abuse, some clients benefit from extra accountability and support. A sober living program can provide assistance around the clock to help you avoid relapse and continue on your recovery journey. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has even found that sober living programs can help your long-term recovery. All of those in sober living programs should be in outpatient treatment programs so that they are continually working towards rebuilding their lives.
While inpatient treatment works well for some, it’s not the right fit for everyone. Many individuals in treatment need to return to work or school while going through treatment. A sober living program offers the flexibility of continuing to keep up with those responsibilities while making your recovery a priority. In a secure environment, you’ll learn how to have fun without turning to drugs or alcohol.
Community housing also provides support staff to assist you with any needs while in a community housing program. They provide education about nutrition, cooking, and other life skills to help you develop the skills you need for lasting recovery.
What to Expect in Sober Living Programs
While in a community housing program, you’ll develop a strong network of support with your peers. This support can be an invaluable resource during your recovery. As you begin to return to work and school, you might find that the stress and triggers of daily life tempt you to turn back to drugs and alcohol. However, the goal of a community housing program is to help you avoid relapse through access to a supportive community 24/7.
At sober living facilities, you’re likely to find the following:
- Furnished, comfortable apartments
- Private and semi-private bathrooms
- Outdoor living spaces
- Newly renovated kitchens
- Spacious living areas with couches and televisions
