What is a sober living program?

 

 

A sober living program provides a safe, structured, and substance-free housing environment for individuals in recovery. It’s not a clinical rehab center, but rather a supportive “bridge” between intensive inpatient treatment and returning to complete independence. Residents live as a community, support one another’s sobriety, and adhere to house rules, all while re-integrating into work, school, and daily life.

Inpatient rehab is a high-level clinical program where you live at a treatment facility and receive 24/7 medical and therapeutic care. A sober living home is a residence focused on peer support and accountability. It offers more personal freedom, as residents typically leave the house during the day to attend an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), go to work, or attend school.

While rules vary, the most important rule is a zero-tolerance policy for drugs and alcohol, enforced by regular testing. Other common rules include:

Adherence to a nightly curfew.

Mandatory attendance at 12-step meetings or outpatient therapy.

Participation in household chores.

Payment of “rent” for your spot in the house.

Respect for other residents and the property.

This is a very common question. Typically, insurance does not cover the direct cost of the sober living home itself, as this is considered a residential or “rent” expense. However, your insurance will almost always cover the clinical services you attend while living there, such as your Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), individual therapy, or group sessions.
