Sober Living + Outpatient Drug Rehab = Lasting Recovery

Sober Living: Life After Rehab
One of the best decisions an addict or an alcoholic can make for himself in early sobriety is to reside in sober living facility after completing and inpatient treatment program. For most addicts, the golden rule seems to be the more structure, the better. Rehab centers provide clients with a safe place to detox and with the tools needed to keep one’s sobriety; sober living homes offer clients an opportunity to utilize those tools in a supportive, structured environment. Sober living homes can resemble dorm-style living (with 2-3 men or women in a single room) or be as high-end as a luxury suite at the Ritz, but no matter how Spartan or classy the facility, the mission remains the same. Addicts and alcoholics who agree to live in a sober living home make a commitment to their recovery by agreeing to random drug testing, curfew compliance, and participation in household activities.

Outpatient Drug Rehab Can Compliment the Sober Living Experience
Typically, unless he has gone straight back to work after completing inpatient treatment, an addict/alcoholic finds himself with an uncomfortable amount of spare time on his hands in the days following his release. As the saying goes, “idle hands are the devil’s playground” – and this maxim is especially true for addicts. Thus, it makes sense for men and women in early sobriety to fill their time with as much recovery-related activity as possible. Outpatient drug rehab can be the perfect addition to a sober living “newbie’s” daily regimen of morning meditation, chores, and 12-step meetings. At the very least, he will have something productive to do (attending outpatient groups) during the day that will keep his mind off of the inevitable drug and alcohol cravings.

Different Types of Sober Living Homes
In today’s Celebrity Rehab and Intervention savvy world, there exists a wide, diverse network of sober living homes from which to choose. That is to say, thanks to the media, the nation is more aware of drug and alcohol addiction than ever, and sober living owners/directors have finally wised-up to the fact that different addicts have different needs when it comes to long-term care. So, if you are a high-powered executive seeking the ultimate in posh, upscale sober living, you can now choose to live in a special, executive sober home. If you are a woman who sees the value in single-sex recovery (why let a man deter you from your path?), you can opt to live in a women-only sober living. Do you suffer from a dual diagnosis of alcoholism and a psychiatric disorder? Well, there’s a home for you, too. Don’t let special needs bar you from seeking the help you deserve.
