MGA Crisis Intervention

Sober living homes, also known as sober living apartments and sober living centers, are residential facilities that offer therapeutic and safe housing options for individuals leaving drug rehabilitation programs or rehab. SLHs generally serve as a transition between such programs and regular society. People who choose to enter rehab will usually first to live in one of the several SLHs before settling in an apartment or a house where they can start their lives once again. As long as the addict receives treatment for his addiction, he will never be returned to an SLH again.

An addict will be able to find a home at an SLH that is similar to his or her normal living situation – both physically and emotionally. However, the individual must decide if they want to continue living in the same place in which they were receiving treatment. In a residential program, people live in apartments or in house-to-house facilities where there are at least 12 residents sharing a single room or house. An SLH allows its residents to maintain all their old friends and continue their relationship with their families. This helps them deal with the loss of their old life more effectively. People who chose to live in a sober living home will be able to interact with their families and friends in regular life, although it is recommended that they stay in an SLH for as long as possible and until they are ready to return to normal life.

The addict should decide if they are ready to go back to their old life before choosing to go into an SLH. A person’s decision will depend on how long he or she has been addicted to drugs. If someone has been abusing alcohol or drugs for a very long time, it would be best for him or her to consider going back to an apartment or living with his or her family before moving on to an apartment or a house where people can live together. In some cases, people choose to stay in an SLH for an extended period of time because they want to avoid the stigma associated with drug addicts in public places. Most addicts choose an SLH because of its privacy and solitude. But a person’s decision to live in an SLH depends on how comfortable he or she feels in that environment.
