Sober Living May Be the Perfect Transition

Being sober, regardless of how long, is quite an achievement. One of which you should be very proud of. But like all things earned and worth holding onto, sometimes additional support is needed. And that’s why sober living is a true benefit.

Resolutions Las Vegas

Desert Hope Treatment Centers, an American Addiction Centers facility, offers this beneficial service for those making the transition from inpatient or outpatient treatment back to the “real world.” Rightfully named Sober Living at Resolutions Las Vegas, it serves as a healthy and supportive solution for those that may need a home as newly recovering individuals.

One of the worst obstacles that someone who has only been sober for a short period of time to be faced with, is for them to return to an environment where there are others who are using drugs and/or consuming alcohol. Returning to chaos and potential triggers is the opposite of what that individual needs. Obviously, this isn’t the circumstance for all those completing treatment. Some have a healthy home environment to return to, filled with supportive family and friends.

And then there are others.

Those who may not have family that cares about their welfare. Or have friends that use recreational and illicit drugs “just for fun” on a daily basis. Lack of money and stability may add to the stress, and in the end, the aforementioned ingredients are a recipe for failure and defeat.

Sober Living at Resolutions Las Vegas offers an alternative solution. It allows for independence, but with a helpful structured balance. A house manager is available to help keep individuals accountable for their choices. And although individuals aren’t in a treatment program, they are surrounded by neighbors who are in recovery as well.

Because individuals are susceptible to relapse in the early part of their recovery, this structure contributes to keeping individuals on a positive track. Between attending meetings, participating in house activities, and following a schedule, the newly sober individual has a fighting chance to achieve long-term sobriety.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, longer treatment programs produce more effective results for patients. Additionally, remaining in recovery requires a strong support network. With Sober Living, individuals get support as well as an extended experience in treatment.
