Individual Sober Living
Sober Living fills in the gaps left behind by our traditional treatment model. For decades now, addiction treatment was addressed through detox and in-patient treatment, often less than a month of intensive treatment combined. Overwhelming evidence over the same period of time has shown that this model in ineffective and results in high recidivism. The Residents in recovery model of low-barrier access and longterm continuum of care has proven highly effective and supported by all many.

Individuals that desire to get clean and sober upon being released from incarceration or detox are faced with the greatest continuum of care gap that exists in the treatment of any disease or ailment. Most individuals are left to fend for themselves with little to no support, and a society that has stigmatized these individuals into the shadows.
​
Residents in Recovery's compassionate and empathetic program breaks through the barriers, provides person-centered approaches to recovery and embraces any individual that wants a different life, regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or age (over 18). Our aim is to provide on-demand services with as few barriers as possible. If something is preventing you from getting clean and sober, let us know.
​
The program takes advantage of the wait times for residential treatment by laying a foundation for recovery. A safe, supportive and therapeutic recovery environment in the first few months of recovery greatly improves outcomes, reduces relapse rates and yields long-term sustainable recovery programs.

Many are facing the reality of years in addiction for the first time and this can be quite overwhelming. Support in piecing one's life back together makes it much more manageable. The financial situation faced by many would leave anyone stressed. Often individuals still have outstanding legal issues or conditions. Others are faced with an uphill battle to be reunited with their child(ren) and families.
​
At some point, reintegration back into the community as productive members of society is the goal. Some individuals will find work, others will return to school, some will once again become mothers and fathers, and most will find a way to include their recovery in their reintegration plans.
​
Treatment is often seen as the solution to addiction when in fact it is actually just the starting point. Recovery that is supported through the first year will result in much more positive outcomes and long-term sustainable recovery journeys.
