Sober Living Homes After Drug Rehab

Many women find that after they have completed an inpatient drug detox and treatment program, they need more than just outpatient aftercare. In that case, a more supportive option would be a sober living home that provides a safe place for women who need a little more time in a drug-free environment away from temptation where they can continue to heal before returning home.

At Orchid Recovery Center, we not only provide drug detox and treatment services, we also offer a sober living option for those who need it. Our landscaped grounds her in Palm Springs, Florida, are conducive to healing and growth, and you are welcome to stay until you feel solid enough in your recovery to move on.

The Myths Surrounding Sober Living Homes

Few really understand what exactly a sober living home is unless they've lived in one or visited a family member or friend who was a resident. Most assume they are one step up from the projects with someone standing guard to make sure that residents don't use drugs or alcohol, and Hollywood depictions concur. The truth is something quite different. Most sober living homes are regular apartments, condos and houses that are inhabited by groups of people who's one thing in common is that they are all newly in recovery and require a drug-free living space.

At Orchid Recovery Center, we take that to another level. Here, you are surrounded only by women—both on staff and in the house—who are also in recovery. If you undergo detox and drug treatment here, your transition into sober living is seamless. If you choose to join us later in your recovery, you will be warmly welcomed.

The Reality of Sober Living Homes

Here at Orchid Recovery Center, sober living is defined as you might think: no alcohol or drugs are allowed on the premises in any form at any time. If you leave for any reason, it is expected that you will return sober and without bringing any substances with you. If you have visitors, they, too, are expected to be clean and sober. There are certain visiting hours and curfew restrictions that apply as well as responsibilities on-site. Other than that, you will be free to develop or continue your individual recovery program, individual therapy sessions and join the relevant support groups.

Women and Sober Living Homes

Some women may find that, while in their addiction, their actions made it impossible for them to return home after treatment. Some need more time after they finish their treatment to prepare emotionally and spiritually for the responsibilities waiting for them. Unfortunately, though it is estimated that there are as many as 75,000 beds available in sober living homes around the country, the split between those available for women and men are not even. In fact, it is believed that not even 20 percent of these beds are reserved for women.

At Orchid Recovery Center, every bed is reserved for a woman. Every resident—whether she is here for professional drug detox services, drug addiction treatment or for sober living—and every staff member is female and the therapies available to those who live here were all chosen based on their ability to speak to the special needs of women in recovery.
