A sober living home, also known as a “halfway house,” serves as the link between an inpatient facility and the outside world. After leaving an inpatient treatment center, most patients struggle with adjusting back to daily life. Staying at a sober living home provides the best in-between recovery option that allows patients to practice the important lessons they learned in rehab.
If you or a loved one is transitioning from living in an inpatient treatment center to life before rehab, staying at one of these homes may be the best option. Unfortunately, for some people who have successfully completed treatment, these programs may be their only option for a safe, sober living environment.
Although these homes do not offer the same level of structure and supervision as an inpatient treatment center, they do provide the perfect intermediate sober environment that pushes residents to form healthy coping mechanisms and habits.

Patients who stay at an inpatient treatment center are completely immersed in their rehab programs and may not be as independent. However, individuals who live in a sober living home are not fully bound to the facility; this means that most people can go in and out as they please. The freedom this provides residents with is unmatched because it is an excellent way for them to ease back into normal life, as they have the opportunity to partake in the responsibilities they once had before rehab.
If you are concerned that this type of living arrangement lacks structure, do not fret. Although these homes are less restrictive than inpatient facilities, they still have set rules that residents must follow. Some rules may include, but are not limited to:
As professionals who have been in this field for years, we know that it is one thing to become sober, but it is another to stay sober. Sober living is the ideal route to take after staying in an immersive care environment for months. Since these homes mimic normal, everyday life situations while promoting healthy habits, they help reduce the chances of relapsing.
Here is how these homes help recovering addicts

There are effective treatments for addiction, but the first step on the road to recovery is to recognize there is a problem. Sometimes, when a person denies they have a problem, families and concerned friends may stage an intervention for prompt treatment—particularly if the addicted person is harming themselves or others. It’s important to get a physician’s assessment and diagnosis, then a treatment plan can be formulated, whether that means outpatient rehab, inpatient, or at-home treatment.
Rehabilitation often includes medications used to control drug cravings and therapy that can help addicted individuals understand their motivations and behavior, develop better self-esteem, cope with anxiety and stress, and address other mental problems.
Nathan Frame2019-10-12Steps Recovery is the place you go if want a caring and understanding program. They have helped me gain knowledge about myself and what I want/need to do. The staff there can relate and help you through core issues and they push you to do better because being in this program you know you can do big and amazing things. Also the therapists there are awesome and walk with you through struggles of life and give you the tools you truly need. Overall this place is an amazing opportunity and you’d be missing out on a lot if you chose to not at least try this program. Definitely 5 stars
