Arbor Sober Living offers those new to recovery a safe and supportive place to live. Research done by the National Institute of Health has found that individuals who live in a sober living home have better long-term outcomes than those of people who don’t have access to an environment that supports a sustained recovery. The Arbor’s Austin sober living program is open to those who have completed a primary treatment program and at least 30 days of sobriety.
The residents of our sober living homes ease into a healthy lifestyle while experiencing real life responsibilities, social norms, and gaining valuable work and living skills. At the same time, life in sober living keeps distractions to a minimum, ensuring that residents stay focused on their path towards sober, independent living. Participants reinforce the lessons and habits learned in treatment. A sense of community is formed, creating a personal network of peer support.
Support
Clients participate in a weekly house meeting to check in with each other, the house manager, and the Recovery Advocate. On-demand and random toxicology screening are conducted to ensure the safety of all residents.
Our sober living homes also have clinical support. House managers and Recovery Advocates meet regularly with The Arbor clinical staff, including the Clinical Director, to discuss each person’s progress and plan for success. When a client is struggling or needs help, clinical intervention is offered to ensure individual success.
Life in an Arbor Sober Living Home
Creating new routines and maintaining a regular schedule after residential treatment is key to transitioning to a normal and healthy lifestyle. Residents participate in activities outside of the house that support recovery including sober activities, off-site 12-step programs, and employment. All participate in weekly meetings with The Arbor Alumni.
The Arbor Sober Living model encourages individuals to develop personal motivation and independence. The development of peer support systems, 12-step participation, obtaining a home group, service commitment, and sponsor further support individuals on their path to permanent sobriety.
