RIGHT PATH HOUSE

We are a different sober living

NPR and "the Sober House Agency Trying to Make a Difference"

Our mission is to provide exceptional sober living for each and every woman we meet.

Right Path takes pride in supporting newly recovered women who want to live free from addiction in a comfortable home in a quiet, residential neighborhood. We specialize in post-treatment sober living offering opportunities to balance work, recovery and life. We combine a gently structured sober living with the turnaround that the 12-steps offers and the healing that close working relationships with clinical programs can offer. The result is inspired, transformational recovery.

What we are

We're a bit of a rarity among sober living houses because we've designed our house around the four SAMSHA - researched pillars of recovery : Community, Purpose, Safety and Wellness. There's real transformation with that kind of commitment to our clients.

How it works

Our live-in recovery coach (with decades of experience) helps women move toward creating a balanced and productive recovery life that includes a complete wellness plan.

Why it works

A good sober living offers ways to practice a new lifestyle that offers both a sense of purpose and light hearted recreation. We don't wait around, we put our recovery into action because, "actions speak louder then words".

Why sober living?

Living sober exposes the challenge between the "book learning" you're absorbing in rehab and the wisdom to be gained in actually living sober. It's not a sign of weakness to use the services and the fellowship of a supportive sober living home; it's a sign of healthy respect for the disease of addiction. Choosing to come here, you making a life-affirming stake in your recovery.

"To a truly amazing recovery coach. You allowed me to see inside myself. Thank you for believing in me and pushing me to the best version of myself."

Why the coast of Connecticut?

OUR AREA is rich in natural beauty that heals the soul yet is close enough to the culture of New Haven or Old Lyme musuems or Madison and Old Saybrook shops and waterfront restaurants. It's no wonder that there is every kind of amenity from free yoga classes on the beach to being wrapped up in blanket for a guided meditation and singing bowls. There are open mic nights in a coffee shop or several choirs to join. Kayaking on the rivers, biking the woodland trails or packing up for a day of skiing, are all close by. There's ample work in this area and three nearby comunity colleges. From writing for public radio to waitressing to more professional positions, you'll find work. If you are without an auto, it's an area that begs for biking (we have bikes available) and walking. There are Ubers and public transportation also available. You may bring your car and electronics.

We are surrounded by AA and NA 12-step meetings we are also 20 minutes to SMART Recovery, Refuge Recovery, and Bhuddist Recovery.

Horses and Smashbooks

What do horses and smashbooks have to do with each other? They are different modalities that we employ as experiential activities. What do experientials offer? The opportunity to be vulnerable, to get in touch with feelings that may be hiding. We start with a trauma informed mindset and gently foster responsibility and honesty.
