Sober Living for Residents of Anaheim: Choose Muse

Before you were addicted to alcohol or drugs, you may have shared the belief that getting clean and sober would be the hardest thing in the world to do, but that once those struggles were over maintaining sobriety would be no big deal. Even in a time when addiction science is a real discipline and much more is known about diseases like substance use disorder, there is a lingering feeling that making it through detox and rehab is the hard part, and what comes after will be relatively easy.

To those on the inside of the drug and alcohol treatment world, including the drug addicts and alcoholics themselves, it is clear that this is not the truth, and that in many ways detox and rehab are only the first two steps on a very long road to recovery. And while those steps are vitally important and necessary, they provide an incomplete picture of what recovery is like and what it will take to sustain a drug-free and alcohol-free life.

Now that you have completed your drug or alcohol detox and rehab program, it is time to make an important decision, and the choice you make will have a profound impact on the rest of your life, and on how successful you are when you return back home to Anaheim, California. Now that you are contemplating going back home, we encourage you to choose a different path, one that will serve as a bridge between the intensity of residential drug and alcohol treatment and successful life in the outside world.

That bridge from residential drug and alcohol treatment to a successful life back home is known as sober living, and it is a valuable addition to your valiant treatment efforts. We encourage you to stick around and explore the difference sober living can make for you, for your family, and for everyone waiting for you back home.

Moving into a residential treatment facility to address your drug addiction or alcoholism can seem like a monumental step, and in many ways it is. It took a great deal of courage, and no small amount of self-reflection, to recognize that you needed professional help to overcome your dependency and get on the road to a better life.

Now that your stay in the residential drug or alcohol treatment center is coming to an end, it is time to address the next steps on your journey to recovery, and we feel that working with our sober living facility is a vital part of that plan.

Working with a sober living facility like the one Muse Treatment Center offers can provide enormous benefits as you continue with your recovery, including an additional level of structure and support that will encourage you to keep going even when things get tough. During your stay in our sober living facility, you will be connected to local resources throughout the Anaheim area, including programs that will support your recovery and assist you when you do go back home.

You will also have the chance to earn additional freedom and perks, setting up an incentive program that will be very useful when you do leave our facility. If you think the sober living approach will be a smart bridge from residential rehab to life in the outside world, we encourage you to reach out to us today for more information.

While everyone faces challenges when trying to break free of drug addiction and alcoholism, not all of those challenges are the same. Women, in particular, often face some additional obstacles as they try to get into treatment and take back their lives.

The woman who is also struggling as a single parent, for instance, will no doubt have to juggle her own need for drug or alcohol treatment with her need to take care of her children. The woman with a history of domestic violence may need to combine her own desire to break free of drug addiction or alcoholism with her very real fears of her abusive spouse or partner.

And the now-grown woman who originally turned to drugs or alcohol to blunt the pain of childhood trauma may relive that abuse every single day, especially when she contemplates the enormous changes effective drug or alcohol treatment is likely to bring. All of those challenges are very real, but they should not discourage anyone, no matter what their sex or gender, from getting the help they need.

At Muse Treatment Center, we offer specialized drug treatment services designed just for our female clients. If you are struggling to get clean but worried about the well-being of your loved ones, we can work with you to find a solution, one that will keep your family together as you focus on your healing. All it takes is a single phone call, so reach out to Muse today to begin your personalized journey to a better life.

A sober living environment is an important step in the lives of many people in early recovery.  It is a middle ground between the structure and safety of inpatient treatment and living on your own in the outside world.  Staying sober can be especially challenging during the time just after rehab.  Living in a sober house during this time helps to reinforce everything a person learned during treatment and provides continued support as they learn to navigate life without using drugs and alcohol.  

At Muse treatment center in Los Angeles, we provide gender-specific sober living arrangements because it can make the process of recovering from addiction feel safer, more comfortable, and ultimately more effective.  Living in the company of other men helps you to feel surrounded by people who closely share your experiences.  Other men can relate to the particular challenges you are facing, and men are more likely to open up and share their feelings amongst other men.  For heterosexual men, it can also be extremely helpful in early recovery to remove the temptation of sexuality and dating by being in a male-only environment.  

Sober houses are a valuable tool for both male and female residents of Anaheim.  They provide continued support in the form of ongoing treatment, twelve-step meetings, and participation in regular house meetings.  They also provide continued structure in the form of drug testing, curfews, and expectations that you’ll contribute to chores and house responsibilities.  These rules help to keep people on track in recovery and also ensure a safe sober environment for everyone residing in the home.
