Sober living program

Structured transitional housing for lasting recovery

What is a sober living program?

A sober living program is a transitional housing arrangement designed for people in recovery from addiction. It offers a secure, substance-free environment where people live while rebuilding healthy habits and practicing life skills. Unlike inpatient treatment, sober living allows residents to engage with life outside of the program while still maintaining the support of a recovery-focused community.

Transitional housing that keeps you grounded

Recovery from addiction is a journey, not a single destination. For people transitioning from intensive treatment back to daily life, maintaining sobriety can feel overwhelming. Sober living homes help bridge the gap between treatment and independence, giving you a chance to make progress and practice skills with support. Sober living is a transitional service available to clients in the addiction treatment programs at Discover Recovery.

The sober living program at Discover Recovery

Our sober living program is available for patients in our partial hospitalization program (PHP) or intensive outpatient program (IOP). It might be a good fit for you or a loved one if you need stable housing and continued support while attending outpatient treatment.

Sober living offers a substance-free environment where you can practice life skills, stay connected to your clinical team, and build community while you continue PHP or IOP. Our admissions team can help you determine whether sober living is the right fit for your treatment plan.

Continued support

Support groups, connections to our treatment team, and help from others in our residential facility give residents opportunities to talk to someone when they need extra help. Community is one of the most valuable tools during early recovery, and our sober living program is a great opportunity to build it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between sober living and rehab?

Rehab, or residential treatment, is a clinically structured environment with 24/7 support. Sober living offers more independence: it's a supportive, substance-free living space where clients can begin working, attending school, or reengaging with the outside world while staying connected to recovery.

How long can you stay in a sober living house?

Most clients stay 30 to 90 days, though some choose longer depending on their needs, insurance, and life circumstances. Our team will help you determine the best timeline for your recovery.

What happens in sober living?

You'll live in a shared, recovery-focused home with daily routines, community support, and optional participation in wellness activities. Many clients continue outpatient treatment or attend support groups during this time. House meetings, accountability, and peer connection are at the center of the sober living experience.

What are transitional housing requirements?

Clients in sober living are expected to maintain sobriety, participate in house responsibilities, attend support meetings, and follow community guidelines. These rules help create a structured and respectful environment that supports recovery.

How do sober living houses work?

Residents live together in a shared home with support from staff and peers. Some services (like case management, job search help, or recovery coaching) are often included. The goal is to provide structure and accountability during the transition to independent living.

Is there support once you leave sober living?

Yes. Discover Recovery provides aftercare planning and alumni support services. Our goal is to stay connected to clients long after they leave formal treatment, offering ongoing encouragement, referrals, and connection to community-based resources.
