Recovering from an addiction is a long-term process. The months that pass after a drug rehab program can be as crucial as early recovery. Relapse is a concern because according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, between 40 and 60 percent of recovering people relapse in their first year. Maintaining your sobriety through relapse prevention strategies and community support is crucial, and one of the best ways to maintain your sobriety in the first year is through a sober living home.

A sober living home is generally a house where several recovering people will live after they have undergone a rehab program. The sober living housing program will have staff members that oversee the residents, ensuring that people are going to support group meetings, doing their chores, and pass their drug tests.

The purpose of a sober living home is to provide transitional support and to create the basis for a sustainable, drug- and alcohol-free life. You will be able to find a job, go to work, attend classes at school or college, and essentially create healthy daily habits. The houses do not allow alcohol or drugs and there may be a curfew, too. These elements help to further prevent relapse by providing structure and purpose.
