The Journey

Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

We're not geniuses, but we have decades of experience helping people stay in recovery. Some themes emerge from the many experiences as to what works and what does not. There are four that lead us every day and they match up with research on the effectiveness of sober living.

With careful thought and a conversation that is ongoing and open, we designed our structured sober living on the four pillars of recovery according to the research from SAMHSA

Why Live in a Sober Living Home? Research Says This:

"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 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. In addition, residents are typically required or strongly encouraged to attend mutual help groups such as 12-step programs and develop an individualized recovery plan. Professional clinical services are not offered on-site, but residents can pursue and are encouraged to access services in the community as needed (e.g., dental, medical, mental health, job training, etc.)."
