SOBER LIVING HOUSING PROGRAMS FOR RESIDENTS OF HOUSTON RESURGENCE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

Sober Living For Residents of Houston: Choose Resurgence

Recovery, and learning to live a sober life is a very individual process that is different for everybody. Sober living homes in Houston, Texas, are especially important for those who have completed residential treatment but don’t feel that they have a stable home environment to return to. A lack of a stable, alcohol-and drug-free environment can be a huge obstacle for sobriety after rehab, even for highly motivated people.

Sober living homes are also a good choice for those who want an intermediary step between inpatient rehab and returning to completely independent living. They offer structure, support, and ensure you won’t feel alone or lost during recovery. You can reinforce the lessons you learned in rehab, and develop healthy coping skills while transitioning back to everyday life. Social and environmental factors are important in recovery success, and a sober support system will help you avoid feeling isolated and improve your chances of staying sober.

Often, residents will have to take drug tests, participate in programs, and demonstrate efforts toward long-term recovery. Some homes have 24-hour, on-site medical care, with psychiatric nurses, and licensed clinical social workers. High- accountability homes are strict, with a high level of structure, and a schedule and activities facilitated by staff. This is a good option for someone with a history of relapse. Traditional sober living homes have a combination of freedom and structure. You can come and go as you like, returning to daily tasks and responsibilities. Living in a sober home will keep expectations high, provide peer support, and offer structure, and scheduled activities in a substance-free environment.

Living in a sober home can promote lasting recovery. If you have concerns about staying alcohol- and drug-free on your own after your inpatient rehabilitation, you should move into a sober home. Resurgence can refer you to a number of homes, many of which will allow you to come and go as you please, as long as you follow certain rules, like:

Violations of the rules will have consequences, depending on the facility and the violation. Living in a sober home, you will be expected to be responsible for yourself, which is an important step in recovery, because many times, addiction will cause people to act irresponsibly.

These rules may seem tough, but combined with the support and community found at Resurgence, you will be able to maintain and commit to a healthy, independent, sober lifestyle.

Benefits of Sober Living with Resurgence

Counseling and therapy are beneficial beyond inpatient care, and Resurgence’s outpatient and alumni programs give access to these services. Support is also given from one another in the house, and you can make new friends committed to sobriety, and help others along the way.

A sober living home can help you with things like finding a job, finding housing after treatment, making amends to people who were affected by addiction, and transitioning back to life in an unstructured environment, in a new and healthy way.

Men’s Sober Living
