Sober Living is independent living with some minimum supervision. The resident lives in an apartment or house where all residents have promised not to use or possess alcohol or drugs. In this Sober Living environment, there is a camaraderie of persons who are overcoming a similar problem. This environment provides the very important and constant "support group" function. Testing is usually not required unless Staff has some suspicion of drug or alcohol use. Anyone who tests positive or who is requested to test and refuses is asked to leave. Otherwise, residents are free to come and go as in any normal residential setting.
The residents have two sober living options - a sober house and sober apartments.
The requirements for sober living include having a job or an income, being clean and sober for an extended time, attending at least three 12-step meetings a week and actively working with a sponsor. Please call (818) 846-9771 for availability and prices.
