Sober Living Houses: A Safe Haven for Recovery

Supported housing during rehab & after rehab

Sober Living Houses provide a safe and abstinent environment for those attending inpatient rehab treatment. They are also suitable for those who have completed a primary care rehab programme. You can enter clean and sober living near the rehab or your local area.
Despite what their name suggests, that sober living houses are only for recovering alcoholics, this is not the case. Not in the sober living houses the UK offers, at least. Sober houses provide supported accommodation for anyone recovering from a drug addiction or alcohol problem. They are also suitable for those who are recovering from a behavioural addiction, such as an addiction to sex or gambling. If you are looking for a halfway house near you, our team can recommend the most suitable place, depending on your addiction and personal circumstances.
