Why Choose a Sober Living House?
Sober living houses are quickly becoming standards in professionally developed recovery plans for those completing treatment. Numerous studies have now demonstrated that a minimum three-month residency in a sober home greatly increases the chance of long lasting recovery.
What One Sober Living Study Found
According to one study, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine reports that between 65 and 80 percent of those who go to opiate detox relapse within a month if they don’t follow up with psychotherapeutic addiction treatment. Researchers found that those who attend treatment and live in a sober home or drug-free facility were ten times more likely to avoid relapse.
Of the 243 participants, only 13 percent of those who did not participate in sober living and aftercare programs were still clean and sober six months after treatment. However, 37 percent of those who stayed in a sober home and 50 percent who took part in aftercare and lived in sober housing were still drug-free at the six-month point.
As the study progressed, participants who took part in both sober living and a day treatment program were twice as likely to avoid relapse as those who only lived in sober housing and ten times more likely to remain abstinent than those who took part in neither sober living nor outpatient treatment, according to the journal Addiction.
