If you are dealing with an addiction and have decided to seek treatment, you may be overwhelmed and wondering where to begin. There are many different treatment options to consider, depending on your circumstances and where you are at in the process of recovery. One option that many people recovering from addiction choose after treatment is sober home living.
Benefits of Living in a Sober Home
As you are recovering from addiction, being around others
who are also in recovery and remaining sober can be a great way to help you
stay sober. Sober living homes give you the opportunity to live among other
people who are dealing with the same issues as you. They provide a calming and
community-based atmosphere. The social network that a sober living home
provides on a daily basis to its residents a valuable resource for people in
recovery from addiction. Additionally, as your environment impacts recovery,
living in a positive environment free from alcohol or other addictive
substances is associated with better recovery outcomes.
The Role Your Social Network Can Play in Your Recovery
A 2002 study found that people recovering from alcohol addiction who had social networks which included a higher number of individuals who abstained from alcohol as well as people who were recovering alcoholics had better outcomes with respect to addiction recovery after three years as compared to those who had social networks with fewer of these individuals. Other studies have shown that a positive social network has a significant impact on recovery from addiction. Social support is positively correlated with better outcomes when it comes to recovery from addiction.
