Sober Living

Trusted & Affordable Sober Living

Sober living homes, often referred to as halfway houses, frequently serve as a stepping stone between addiction treatment and transitioning to the unsupported home environment after treatment ends. Many treatment programs, including intensive outpatient programs, partial hospitalization programs, and outpatient programs in New Jersey, encourage program alumni to spend time in a sober living arrangement before returning home. The early days of recovery are often the most challenging when you are new to sobriety. 

Many who have recently completed treatment, especially for the first time, find that they struggle with the adjustment period immediately after treatment. A sober living home or sober living facility in New Jersey offers a safe environment between treatment and home where you can practice and reinforce the lessons you learned during rehab. For many, time spent in a sober living environment can make the difference between maintaining a path of sobriety and relapsing back to old habits. 

Introduction & Overview of Sober Living

Sober living houses in NJ have many benefits, especially if you have recently completed an addiction treatment program. Sober living homes are an excellent option for those who are new to recovery but may not feel comfortable returning to an “unmonitored” environment just yet. Typically, we encourage clients to continue treatment or participate in therapy while living at our homes. 

Also, for many, sober living homes provide a safe environment to continue working on sobriety when the at-home living environment is not conducive to recovery. Although sober living homes do not offer the same level of structure found in an active treatment setting, they do present a stepping stone sober or intermediary environment that can encourage you to continue developing and practicing healthy coping skills and habits you can turn to when faced with relapse triggers when you return home. 

What Are the Benefits of a Sober Living Home?

Another benefit to a sober living home is relapse prevention. Choosing to stay at a sober living home after completing treatment, either voluntarily or as part of a comprehensive aftercare program created during the early stages of addiction treatment, helps to continue exposure to the vital therapies and treatments that are part of the treatment process. While in the sober living home, you are provided the opportunity to identify triggers that may be difficult to manage once you are living in the community again. The structure of a sober living environment further reinforces and teaches new healthy coping skills that can be used when faced with triggers. The sober living home also provides emergency contact people and numbers that can be called upon during times of high stress or cravings to use.

When part of a relapse prevention plan, a sober living home can help you further practice your relapse prevention skills and solidify relationships with other members of the sober community. These individuals, many of whom share a common history of addiction treatment (and possible relapse), are an excellent source of support and friendship as you progress through recovery.

What Exactly Is a Sober Living Program?

Sober living programs are often the “next step” on your journey to recovery after completing detox and therapy. Sober living homes are not necessarily a standalone treatment; however, they are often considered supplementary to treatment at an addiction treatment facility. They provide a supported environment and safe alternative to going directly from an immersive and supportive care environment to an unstructured environment at home. 

Different from the treatment environment, sober living homes generally try to replicate typical, day-to-day life while still working to instill and practice safe and healthy habits. This combination helps to reduce the chance of relapse for countless addicts each year. While at a sober living house in New Jersey, you may also participate in various activities designed to further your recovery and improve your chances of lasting sobriety. Sober living programs often provide life skills training, relapse prevention education and assist with essential aspects of post-treatment life such as employment searches or finding safe, stable housing. 

Our Sober Living House in NJ

When you become a resident, you are immersed in the structure and support of the our program and caring support staff. In many instances, you are surrounded by constant care and guidance as you focus on overcoming addiction.  When you stay in a sober living home, you are not bound by the confines of treatment. For some, this is a blessing, and for others, it can increase the challenges of maintaining recovery. The goal of our sober living house in NJ is to allow recovering addicts to feel as though they are easing back into a “normal life” while slowly resuming their daily tasks and responsibilities.

While staying at a sober living home, you may attend 12 step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous. Residents can also create structure, accountability and develop relationships with like-minded peers who are also working on their sobriety and recovery. This is a key benefit to staying in a sober living environment. Being able to forge friendships with like-minded peers who will help reinforce the desire to remain sober is a vital part of reducing isolation and improving relapse prevention.

Unfortunately, when addicts new to recovery complete their treatment and stop weekly (or daily) therapy, they become isolated. Many feel it is necessary to maintain their distance from friends and family to reduce the chances of exposure to triggers in potential relapse. Sober living homes provide a support system that can not only help residents avoid the isolation that comes with going directly from treatment back home but provides an environment of increased support during the early and often fragile stages of recovery.
