5 Benefits of Sober Living for Women
1. Maintaining Continuous Structure After Rehab
Research shows that sober living homes provide necessary structure, an often overlooked component of recovery success. Many individuals struggling with addiction require additional support after rehab before returning to their daily lives. Statistically, women are more likely to have no available option other than returning to a hostile living situation that threatens their sobriety.
A sober living program provides the housing and other benefits that bolster success between rehab completion and life beyond rehab. That’s why they are considered transitional living. Your time in sober living for women is the bridge between your addiction and sobriety. Complying with the responsibilities and expectations of a sober living home community helps prepare our female clients to return to their communities.
2. Provides a Drug and Alcohol-Free Environment
The sober living homes for women at Rockland Recovery provide women with a practical option for a safe, drug-free environment they can call home. Not only can living outside of rehab trigger the previous stressors that drove a woman to drink, but there are also increased opportunities to be tempted by drugs and alcohol. A sober living program offers the same medication and alcohol-free environment that rehab provides.
3. Accountability Program Participation Requirements
While sober living homes offer more freedom than rehab, residents will often have specific participation requirements, such as mandated 12-step meetings as a condition of their residency. Participation in group therapy and 12-step accountability programs is usually a reliable predictor of recovery success.
4. Women Can Stay as Long as Needed
While many rehab programs have strict policies regarding the amount of time a client can participate, typically sober living homes are flexible and understand the recovery timetable. Some people take longer than others to acclimate to life outside of rehab. Staying as long as necessary helps women in recovery continue working toward their sobriety goals in a safe, substance-free environment without the added pressure of having to move out before they’re ready.
5. Provides Access to a Network of Peers
Some women may not have a robust social support system back at home. In a sober living home, they can build lasting connections with like-minded peers. Women in sober living homes often share similar goals and emphasize healthy living. Living with and getting to know other women on a similar path can help you succeed in your sobriety.
Can Sober Living for Women Help You?
Only you know if a sober living home is suitable for you. If you’ve recently completed a rehab program and feel like you need added support during this transition, a sober living home might be just the right fit. There may be periods outside of rehab where you feel insecure about your sobriety and vulnerable to relapse. This is another situation when a sober living home for women might be the best choice. If you’ve come to a crossroads in recovery or feel like you will benefit from living around women with similar struggles, you’ll likely benefit from a sober living home for women.
