What Do the Experts Say About the Benefits of Sober Living Houses?

Studies have shown that recovering addicts who stay in sober living houses in early recovery have a much better chance of maintaining lasting sobriety. A paper published by the Alcohol Research Group, Public Health Institute, concluded that: Longitudinal studies tracking outcomes of residents in SLHs [Sober Living Houses] show they make significant improvements on alcohol, drug, legal, and employment problems and that these improvements are maintained at 18-month follow up (Polcin, et al., 2010). Factors which affect the result achieved through staying in Sober Living include

Living with other recovering people
Avoiding social situations with people using alcohol/drugs
Attendance and participation in a 12-step recovery program
A safe, stable and supportive living situation
Peer support

The Alcohol Research Group paper stated that most subjects were able to maintain sobriety long-term after they moved out of the sober living house. This indicates that extended treatment through residing in a sober living house in early recovery helps the recovering person to build a strong foundation for lasting sobriety and greatly increases their chances of maintaining sobriety after treatment.
