Many States believe the a Sober Living Environment (SLE) is a great place go on day 31 of ones recovery journey. The treatment plan is being extended to an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) but the person is not ready, willing or able to go home or start a new living sitution just yet. This is where we help. If the community could would embrace the fact these homes (most anyway, FYI, I am all-in for inspections and regulations from industry groups like NARR , just not government agencies) serve a vital role in the Treatment Plan for a person living a life in recovery.

Sober Living is Drug and Alcohol free housing. The population that needs this type of structured environment are those that have been through some type of treatment in the last 3-6 months.

After reading follow ups and articles written about the event, many point out the the number of compliants are nothing compared to other disturbances in the area. The fact is, no home values are affected because we want to keep as anonymous as our neighbors do with regards to what they do in and around their property. What compeling reason do I have to discuss with my potiential buyer about the what my neighbor does inside their home.....RECOVERY 101: stay on my side of the street and make amends or forgive my neighbor, spouse, kids, parents, the guy the cut me off, the customer service rep on the phone taking for ever...etc.
By The Sea Recovery is a San Diego California sober living home that holds their residence accountable to their recovery. We have up to 8 men living in the same house. That the number it takes to afford the morgage, safety procedures, staff, drug screening, food, activities, transportation, taxes....to say the least..its a lot.
