What are the Benefits of Being in a Sober Living Home?

Recovery is not an instantaneous thing. In fact for many, recovery could be a long, arduous, and precarious process, with so many stumbling blocks along the way, making it immensely easy to fall by the wayside.

This underscores the need for sober living homes, as these housing arrangements help ensure that the living conditions and environment are conducive to the recovery process and free of the things that could endanger it. Sober living homes, or recovery housing, as it is sometimes called, provide specific benefits to the entire recovery process.

Presence of Constant Support and Guidance

Much like a support group where there is a moderator or facilitator to help direct the process, sober living homes have on-site managers who help people who might have issues or concerns relevant to their recovery. Most of these managers have gone through the recovery process themselves, which is why they are quite familiar with the needs, concerns, and troubles of the residents of the sober living homes. The managers could provide support when a resident is dealing with overwhelming urges, or when they are going through a particularly difficult emotional issue brought on by lingering withdrawal symptoms.

Many of these on-site managers are even able to help residents find work, which is essential for someone who is trying to transition back into normal life. Many people in recovery lament that people in recovery often have to endure the stigma of doubt and resentment from other members of society because of what they went through. This stigma could even make finding work a difficult task. On-site managers typically have a network of supportive associates who are more than willing to help people in recovery by offering them a job, without the prejudice found in other social circles.

A Learning Place for Life Skills

It is not a cliche when people in recovery say that while they were immersed in substance abuse, their lives stopped. This was because they had nothing more to think about or look forward to than the next time they indulged in their substances. Everything else is simply forgotten, even simple things such as hygiene. There are many opportunities in sober living homes to learn important life skills that people in recovery might have forgotten how to do, or have simply not done in a long time and might not know how to go about it.

People who have never had the misfortune of having a substance abuse disorder tend to take everyday things for granted, such as working, hygiene, cleaning the house, doing the laundry, and even going out to buy things. These are seemingly trivial concerns that people in recovery might not have done for a while, and sober living homes are the perfect places to re-learn these things.

Eases the Transition to Normal Life

Just like rehabilitation removes the dependency people have on substances, sober living homes remove the hang-ups people in recovery might have about going back to their normal lives. Despite all the therapy they might have had, there could still be some doubts and fears about being able to fully integrate into mainstream life after what they went through.

People coming from rehab don’t just fit back into normalcy the moment they complete therapy. A transition period is required so that any lingering issues relevant to addiction and rehab could be ironed out and not become a hindrance at any point. One of the practices done while in rehab is strict adherence to an orderly schedule, so that everything makes sense while a person recovers. Mainstream life is not as equally structured or as orderly as rehab, and being introduced back into the real world right after rehab could be a jarring experience for the person in recovery.

Finding Meaningful Relationships

People who belong to a certain community tend to bond better with others within the community. This is mostly due to a common understanding of how things work relevant to their situation, and how they relate to each other with the knowledge of what they went through. It is simply easier to relate with someone who went through the same thing, as they understand the difficulties and concerns better than others.

People within the same community also tend to accept whatever quirks or issues a person might have, as they could have had them at some point themselves. The bonds of understanding tend to be stronger amongst those living in sober living homes because they will not judge others there, nor will they take advantage of others within the community, as they could all have parallel experiences and difficulties. These qualities create better understanding and interactions between people, and therefore, more meaningful relationships.

Lessening the Risk of a Relapse

Many people who suffered a relapse admit they realized that they were not really ready to go out into the real world and be exposed to so many temptations to back to old habits. This is a major concern for people in recovery because the outside world will not simply change and tiptoe around someone because they are in recovery. Life outside of a treatment facility will continue to be as it has always been, regardless if a person is prone to a relapse or not.

Life in sober living homes, however, is a bit more careful with these things. People within these homes understand that risk of relapse is very real, which is why the environment in and around sober living homes is intentionally made safe for a person in recovery.

More than anything else, sober living homes offer a safe environment with ample considerations for a person in recovery, which they are not likely to find anywhere outside of treatment facilities or therapy arrangements. This is why these housing options could be the best choice for someone wanting to ensure that they have a better chance at lasting sobriety.
