What is a sober house?

A sober house, also known as a sober living home, is a residence designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals recovering from substance use disorders. Residents typically follow house rules, attend recovery meetings, and participate in chores, all while living in a drug- and alcohol-free environment. Sober houses help individuals transition from inpatient treatment or rehabilitation programs back to everyday life, offering structure and peer support to maintain sobriety.
