Sober Living / Transitional Housing: the basics
A sober living home, also called a recovery residence, is a shared, substance-free house where people in recovery live together and support each other. Residents pay rent, follow house rules and often attend outpatient treatment or support meetings. Sober living is not treatment itself, but it gives you a stable place to practice recovery skills.
