Sober Living Homes

SLH’s are alcohol and drug free living environments for individuals attempting to maintain abstinence from alcohol and drugs (Wittman, 1993). They offer no formal treatment but either mandate or strongly encourage attendance at 12-step groups. SLH’s have been important resources for individuals completing residential treatment, attending outpatient programs, leaving incarceration or seeking alternatives to formal treatment (Polcin, 2006b).

Although there are similarities between SLH’s and other residential facilities for substance abusers, such as “halfway houses,” there are important differences as well. Unlike many halfway houses, SLH’s are financially sustained through resident fees and individuals can typically stay as long as they wish. Because they do not offer formal treatment services, they are not monitored by state licensing agencies. However, many sober living homes are members of SLH coalitions or associations that monitor health, safety, quality, and adherence to a social model philosophy of recovery that emphasizes 12-step group involvement and peer support.

Mi Casa Es Su Casa Offers safe and drug free homes where strict adherence policy along with a healthy, caring,  living condition can be enjoyed by all our clients who are trying to help themselves stay clean and sober.
