As anyone with a substance use disorder (SUD) can tell you — and about 48.5 million Americans have an SUD — staying sober can be as challenging as getting sober in the first place. And this is especially true in the early days of sobriety.
This is where sober living environments can play an invaluable role — they provide safe and supportive, drug- and alcohol-free living spaces in which you can get your feet back under you.
As our name implies, the Harmony Homes for Healing group specializes in transitional housing, and transitioning out of an SUD and into a fulfilling life of sobriety is a big change, one that can benefit from support.
To that end, we offer sober living environments (SLEs) in Northern California for people who want to leave the prison of alcohol and drugs behind in favor of a life that favors freedom and happiness.
After getting sober and breaking your addiction and dependence, you are likely in a fragile state during early recovery. You’ve spent years living a life that was governed by a substance, and now your future is wide open, which can be daunting.
Sober living environments are meant for these exact circumstances — to help people make the transition to a different way of living. Please note that SLEs are not designed to help people get sober — they’re the next step after you get clean and break your addiction and dependence.
Our SLEs offer support, structure, safety, and accountability — all of which are crucial during early recovery as you navigate this new world. All too often, people get sober and then go straight back into their old worlds, which can be a recipe for relapse in early recovery.
At our SLEs, we offer a wide range of services to help people solidify their sobriety and reintegrate into society. These services include:
While these services can go a long way toward helping you move forward, some of the greatest benefits are the people you meet — people who have similar pasts and who are facing the same uncertain futures. The connections people forge in SLEs are enduring and supportive, and they play no small role in helping people to stay the course. In fact, many people find lifelong friends in sober living.
There are several ways in which you can explore your options in SLEs. For example, if you’re coming from a treatment program, case managers from that program can get in touch with us directly for a referral.
Or, if you’re working with a doctor or mental health specialists, they can supply you with a referral for sober living. We also work with local governmental agencies and social services, so that’s another effective path toward getting into an SLE.
You can also get in touch with us directly, and we can guide you on how to apply to get into one of our sober living environments. To get that ball rolling, we invite you to contact us to speak with one of our sober living specialists. Our services cover most of Northern California, including Solano, Yolo, Sonoma, and Napa counties.
