What Makes Us Different?

We're building connection and a sense of purpose.  We want to hear your story.

We designed our sober living program based on the decades of research that SAMHSA says is the foundation of long-term recovery (read more). Even if you don't join us, please read the research on how to stay in long term sobriety. It may surprise you!

If you are now ready to try "doing something different because you want different results".

We're especially aligned with finding supports that can make a difference like neurofeedback, EMDR, really digging into the steps or experiencing equine. We center around honoring the dignity of all and remembering that small, positive outcomes can turn recovery into a durable path forward.

What's Neurofeedback (optional)?

We've found that offering Neurofeedback often can help residents reduce their anxiety, which, in turn, increases emotional regulation. It's a non-invasive option that's conveniently located onsite. Please read more.

1. How much does it cost, and what’s included?

At Right Path House, your monthly fee covers housing, accountability systems, resident support, community standards, and a stable recovery environment.
There are no hidden fees and no surprise charges. You know exactly what you’re paying for. All but one room is private.

 

2. What does a typical day look like?

Residents follow an individualized, predictable, supportive rhythm designed to reduce stress and increase stability.
You’ll see a balance of:

  • Personal routines

  • Work or school

  • Recovery commitments

  • House responsibilities

  • Community connection

Structure without suffocation. Independence without isolation. 

3. How long can I stay?

You can stay as long as you’re actively participating in your recovery and community expectations.
Generally, most successful residents stay 6–12 months because getting through early recovery takes time. We don’t rush people out the door — we support l rebuilding on a rock-solid foundation.

 

4. What happens if I struggle or slip?

We respond immediately with compassion and clarity, not shame. A slip doesn’t make you a bad person — but it does require firm leadership to protect the house.
We follow a dignity‑centered, safety‑first protocol that includes:

  • Immediate assessment

  • Supportive next‑step planning with recommendations for detox, other sober houses, or treatment.

  • Protecting the community from chaos or risk

Boundaries and compassion can coexist — and they do here.

5. Who else lives here?

Our homes are adult‑only, recovery‑focused, and filled with residents who are serious about rebuilding their lives.
You’ll live with people who share your goals, not people who jeopardize them.

 

6. Is the house actually sober?

Yes — and we mean that. We maintain a drug‑ and alcohol‑free environment through:

  • Consistent testing 2 or 3 times per week

  • Clear expectations about 12-step and clinical support with follow-up

  • Immediate response to unsafe behavior

  • Staff who actually enforce boundaries

A sober home should actually be sober.

 

7. What support do you offer?

We provide structure, accountability, community, and guidance, not clinical treatment.
Residents benefit from:

  • Recovery‑aligned routines that start with morning meditations to in-house 12-step meeting

  • Peer support through shared evening meal

  • Peer centered House meetings

  • Staff oversight

  • A stable, predictable environment

It’s the bridge between treatment and independent living.

 

8. Can I work, go to school, or have a normal life?

Absolutely. Sober living is designed to help you re‑enter life safely, not pause it. Most residents:

  • Work (full or part) or attend school

  • Rebuild and build relationships

  • Develop sober lifestyle routines

  • Grow financially and emotionally

Recovery is about building a life you don’t want to escape from. We're the emotional support and calming predictability in the beginning. 

"Where do I even begin? It's only been 5 months and look where I am! Where will I be in another five months? The sky is the limit!"

Welcome

Our Leadership

Co-Founders are Lisa Ferguson and Rob Schiffer. However, we like to include a small number of supportive rehabs like Mountainside who were willing to take an educated chance on us in 2015. High Watch joined in 2018, Wellbridge in 2024 and Caron in 2025. We've been helping change lives ever since. With backgrounds in personal recovery, personal family recovery, business, insurance, education, and a love for recovering people, science, horses, construction, education, and 12-step recovery, we have seen real change at Right Path House in the people we serve, in ourselves and in the structure sober living houses now know is what serves best for all these positives as we put all our love, care, skill, and knowledge into use every day.
