1. What is sober living and how can it help me?
A sober living home is a drug and alcohol free housing environment dedicated to helping individuals stay sober after detox or rehab. Sober living homes are not medical treatment nor do they provide therapy, but they do provide a safe, practical, and supportive housing option for people who are recovering from drug and alcohol addiction.
2. Do I need to have completed a treatment program before coming to A Friend’s Place?
Most sober living homes require residents to complete detox and some form of addiction treatment before moving into the sober home.
4. Is there a minimum or maximum length of stay?
The average length of stay varies. Residents are often welcome to stay as long as they pass their drug tests, abide by house rules, and are caught up on rent payments. Most people stay in sober living for a few months up to one year.
6. Are there any house rules or expectations?
Our sober living home operates according to strict rules and guidelines to ensure the safety of all residents and staff. Rules include drug testing, curfew, chores, and more.
8. Can I have visitors?
Visitors are typically not permitted in sober living homes to respect the privacy of all residents. However, you're free to come and go as you please, and can visit with friends or family outside of the home.
9. What happens if I relapse while staying at A Friend’s Place?
Individuals are not permitted to use drugs and alcohol in our homes. A relapse or a failed drug test may result in eviction and referral to detox or treatment.
