Sober Living Treatment Centers

Recovery housing or sober living generally refers to alcohol- and drug-free housing intended to support people in recovery. It is distinct from clinical treatment, although residents may participate in outpatient care, medications, mutual-help groups, employment, school, or other recovery supports. Rules, staffing, oversight, testing practices, costs, and resident protections vary substantially by residence and jurisdiction. Before choosing a home, ask about house rules, fees, medication policies, grievance procedures, safety practices, certification or licensing requirements in that state, and how the residence connects people with clinical care when needed.
