The staff at the Muse Los Angeles sober living homes understand that everyone who is struggling with drugs or alcohol has lived a different story.  In many cases, both men and women have suffered from abuse, poor financial situations, even homelessness as a result of their addiction.  At Muse, we provide a safe, secure place for people to live while they continue to work hard on their recovery.  Sober living with Muse has many benefits. 

First, we provide structure, much like you find at our Muse Los Angeles Inpatient Rehab Center.  This structure, which includes things as simple as doing daily household chores, helps fill in the time in a person’s day that was previously taken up by drugs or alcohol.  Second, we provide a supportive environment where there is no judgment about what has happened to anyone in the past.  Everyone at Muse sober living homes is working towards starting a new chapter in their lives and supporting each other is part of that journey.

There are many amenities provided at Muse sober living homes for our guests.  Some of these include only two or three beds to a room, televisions, and kitchens for our guests to use, a laundry area, weekly house meetings to discuss community activities, and weekly random urinalysis testing.  This last item may not seem like a benefit, but it is important for all of our guests to know that their housemates are living up to their commitment of being alcohol and drug-free. 

Staying at a sober living home while taking part in outpatient treatment allows for the best of both worlds in many ways.  You are still able to go to work and school and interact with society but you are assured that you are coming home to an alcohol and drug-free environment that supports your recovery and abstinence.  

Sober living shows you every day that you are not alone in your struggle to remain in recovery.  When you choose Muse, we ensure that you are always working on moving forward and making each day better than the one before.  Muse staff members assist you in sticking to a daily recovery plan which may include; 12-step meetings, attendance at our Intensive Outpatient Rehab program, college classes, daily house chores, and more. 

Staying in a sober living home is not a vacation from your responsibilities in life.  In reality, it is a way to incorporate tasks and responsibilities from your everyday life with your alcohol or drug rehab.  Sadly, in many cases, individuals in recovery have to leave some people behind that were a part of their lives while they were drinking or abusing drugs.  Sober living allows you to put distance between your old life and where you want to be in the future. 

Although everyone is affected by alcohol and drug abuse in unique ways, there are challenges that face women that are not as often experienced by men.  At Muse sober living homes we are very aware of that fact and design our facilities and care with that in mind.  We understand that women who are guests at our sober living homes in the Long Beach area may have experienced sexual and emotional trauma, eating disorders, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, and other co-occurring disorders. 

At both our men’s and women’s sober living homes our guests are assessed weekly to make sure their treatment and recovery are all working as desired.  Muse Los Angeles women’s sober living homes are located near entertainment complexes, colleges, and transportation hubs in Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Venice Beach, and Santa Monica.

One of the things we promote at both our women’s and men’s sober living facilities is physical activities.  Many people who become involved with alcohol or drugs to the point where their life is negatively impacted by substance abuse put hobbies and other interests aside.  That’s why we focus on everyday things like exercise, proper meals, and adequate sleep.  If you’ve ever wanted to get back in shape, while you’re staying at a sober living home is a great time to get at it.  Learning a new skill is a great way to spend free time, too.  We encourage our guests to create their own meal plans, which can lead to expanding their cooking skills, too.  Getting enough sleep is very important for both physical and mental health. 

Being in a new environment can be stressful and self-care is an important component of the healing that goes on during alcohol and drug rehab.  At our men’s sober living homes, located in Culver City, Venice Beach, Marina Del Rey, Santa Monica, and Beverly Hills, we strongly suggest our guests seek the help of support groups and counselors for guidance and advice.  Incorporating a 12-step group like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous into your recovery plan can make a big difference in your long-term success.
