Succeed on your path
with Sober Living San Diego
Sober Living San Diego provides safe and sober congregate (shared) housing
for recovering alcoholics, addicts, and their family members. Our homes
support recovery in a structured, safe, clean and sober environment.
Our
residences do not provide formal recovery or treatment services, do not
receive public funding, and do not maintain case management files as a
condition of residency. We DO require residents to have an active,
self-guided recovery program, and continued sobriety is a condition of
residence. Learn more about our structure ...
Why
a Sober Living home? Research supports the evidence - people have a
much greater chance of succeeding in their long term recovery if they
can transition out of detox/treatment into a home where other members
of the household uphold the tenets of clean and sober living. It is
extremely difficult to maintain sobriety if a person comes out of
recovery and then returns to the environment that, in the past,
supported her/his addiction. We want our residents to succeed in
creating a new, healthy, productive, and emotionally rich life. We
believe that our sober living transition homes create the opportunity
for our residents to succeed.
The "Sober Living
Network", a consortium of resource providers, offers
the following criteria that characterize our transition homes at Sober
Living San Diego:
1. Physical environment.
The environment and interactions
allow the
participants to feel a connection to and responsibility for their own
recovery.
2. Leadership.
The managers of our network of
Southern California
recovery homes mingle with the residents as peers and role models
rather than as distant directors. Operators encourage participants to
take responsibility for their own recovery and give priority for the
maintenance of the environment.
3. Authority base.
Our resident leaders are people in
recovery. The
belief is that recovery from alcohol and drug problems imparts a
certain experiential wisdom, an invaluable resource upon which
participants may draw; and professional knowledge is not valued above
the experiential.
4. View of dealing with
alcohol problems.
Family residents need to
agree to take responsibility for their own recovery; and understand
that addiction is only part of the problem. It is the role of the
Operator at Sober Living San Diego to make residents aware of community
activities and resources and to share this information with residents.
5. Self Governance.
Residents learn how to take
responsibility for
their own sobriety and for the security of their environments.
Participants have a voice in the design and enforcement of resident
guidelines. this allows participants to feel a personal investment in
the program and their own recovery and also gives them the opportunity
to gain decision-making skills.
6. Community orientation.
Our California sober living homes
seek not
only to provide recovery support but also to integrate with community
resources and to participate in facilitating additional
recovery-promoting resources.
Share
our experience, strength and hope.
Through
fellowship you will find your way.
With
the kindness and support of others
you will succeed.
