THE FOUR PILLARS OF RECOVERY
The pillars of health, home, purpose, and community—form a research-backed framework that supports long-term sobriety and personal growth. Each pillar addresses a critical dimension of well-being: from stabilizing physical and emotional health to fostering connection, structure, and meaning in daily life. Together, they create a holistic, accessible path that empowers individuals in our sober housing and other good sober houses to rebuild with clarity, dignity, and support. This is why we can say that we are evidence-backed. Read how we expand each pillar into a workable, living and breathing framework for your success.
The Four Pillars of Success
#1 building recovery through health
Because sober houses serve as such a valuable bridge between rehabilitation and independent living, we are careful to implement the four pillars of recovery. For those who choose to engage in making themselves a better life, sober housing offers a supportive and structured environment using the first of the four pillars because well-being is paramount. Building recovery through health and wellness recovery begins with a strong foundation—mind, body, and spirit. At Right Path House, we prioritize holistic well-being through: - Access to medical and behavioral health care - Nutritional guidance and fitness routines - Mental health support and mindfulness practices By restoring physical health and emotional balance, residents gain the energy and clarity to build meaningful lives in sobriety.
Residents are required and encouraged to (1) attend mutual help groups, find and utilize a sponsor (2) find a job, and (3) guided toward professional health providers and mental health counselors
#2 creating a stable home for recovery
Recovery begins with a strong foundation—mind, body, and spirit. At Right Path House, we prioritize holistic well-being through: - Access to near-by medical and behavioral health care - Nutritional guidance and gym membership - Mental health support and mindfulness practices By restoring physical health and emotional balance, residents gain the energy and clarity to build on the care of our bodies and putting meaning into our lives now in sobriety.
We'll share a quote directly from the SAMSHA website regarding the structure of the house. pillar #2, "To maximize the beneficial effects of Sober Living Homes, [we} as a service provider, create a physical setting, social environment, and shared sense of responsibility among residents that supports recovery (Wittman, et al., 2014). Fundamental characteristics of the social model approach include (1) a goal of abstinence from alcohol and illicit drugs, peer support, resident input into house decisions, and resident participation in household tasks such as cooking and cleaning. "
#3 rediscovering purpose in recovery
We emphasize consistency, structure, and accountability. Residents thrive in a substance-free environment grounded in responsibility, routine, and peer support.
