Benefits of Sober Living with DayBreak
Spending time in a sober living home either after an inpatient treatment program or in conjunction with an outpatient treatment program or medically-assisted treatment in West Palm Beach can be an excellent step towards returning to an everyday life without drugs or alcohol. There are a lot of benefits associated with a sober living facility for people struggling with substance abuse and who are committed to putting drugs and alcohol behind them. Here are a few of the big reasons why we suggestion transition housing to many of our clients:
Sober home environments offer constant support from both fellow residents dealing with drug or alcohol abuse or addiction and the knowledgeable staff members who run the facility. This group of people will also hold you accountable for the promises you’ve made to yourself and to your loved ones regarding getting help with substance abuse and addiction.
In life, relationships are often built on commonality, and when you stay in a recovery residence, you will meet people working towards the same goal as you. Prior relationships in your life may have fed your drug abuse habits and in sober housing that will not be the case. Change is important during treatment for cocaine addiction, heroin addiction, other opioid addiction, or any other drug related behavior that is negatively affecting your life and a sober home encourages choosing a different path in all you do.
Being in a positive living environment can be very helpful with re-learning and restoring life skills you will need to get back into everyday tasks. Things like eating healthy, getting plenty of activity and rest, taking care of life responsibilities like paying bills, all without using drugs or alcohol are all part of sober home environments.
When you stay in transitional housing, you are not treated like a child. Independent living with house rules to encourage structure is the foundation of a sober home. You have the independence to seek employment, go to work or school, and make new friends as you begin your recovery from alcohol or drug addiction.
Sober living homes help people transition back into mainstream society, without the pressures that may be associated with their previous home environment. Working, going to school, socializing, volunteering, going to church or other spiritual meetings, exercising, and doing all the things that anyone else would do in the “real world” are encouraged.
Relapse prevention is a big part of alcohol and drug abuse treatment, and it is also integrated into a transitional housing environment. Just by staying in a sober home, you mitigate the chances of a relapse as they are all drug-free environments. Additionally, most sober living facilities will incorporate 12step meetings into the daily activities coordinated by the staff.
Why Choose DayBreak For Sober Living in West Palm Beach
Staying at a recovery residence as part of a drug or alcohol rehab program can create a solid foundation for long term success in recovery. Much like taking part in an inpatient substance abuse treatment program, staying in a sober living environment puts you in close contact with people who are all pulling for you to succeed. At DayBreak, we create customized inpatient and outpatient treatment programs for each of our clients that incorporate levels of care that are best suited to their specific needs, including staying in a recovery residence.
Women’s Sober Living West Palm Beach
Men and women are affected by drug addiction in different ways. They also often turn to alcohol and drug abuse for different reasons. In corollary, what they each need as part of drug rehab can vary. This also goes for staying in a sober living environment. Both men and women show comradery in situations, but in different ways, too. By having separate sober living facilities for men and women, fellow residents have a better feel for what each of them is going through in life, before and after drugs and alcohol were an issue.
Men’s Sober Living West Palm Beach
There are co-ed transitional housing environments but a lot of experts have gotten behind gender-specific environments due to the way the different sexes communicate, especially about their emotions. Having sober living home choices for men and women can often make group therapy sessions conducted in-house and even 12step meetings more comfortable for everyone.
Aftercare & Alumni Support
Transitional housing is also a way to help create your support network, which will help you with relapse prevention as you go forward in your addiction recovery. Aftercare support groups for people who have struggled with alcohol and drug abuse, like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous provide a network of like-minded people for you to tap into after you’ve completed your treatment programs. Anyone who has ever taken part in addiction treatment at DayBreak is part of our family and will always have alumni support available to them. If you have any questions about sober living homes or any of our other treatment options, please give us a call today.
