[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 680072, member: 59"] RN, I know a lot about sober living in our area and Kathy knows even more than I do since her daughter has been in many sober loving houses. Hopefully she will be along soon. The rehab he is in should help him/you find sober living before he is released. You should ask them what support they offer after rehab because as we all know rehab is just the start. We have quite a few sober living places in our area. You can either go there directly from rehab or you can go on your own at any time before or after rehab. Many go after they have relapsed and they have the tools to get back on track but need a structured living arrangement. Every sober living house is different, many have very strict rules, some not so strict. They don't force you to stay, you can leave any time you want. But if you stay there is a real good chance your recovery will be more successful. The sober house my daughter was in she was required to go to 12 step meetings every day for three months. After three months she was permitted/required to get a job and continue to go to meetings and be involved in the recovery community. Our sober houses are all run by recovered addicts. They know the pitfalls and they are prepared for dealing with them. The one my daughter was in was one of the best. If you have any specific questions I will be happy to answer them for you. [/QUOTE]
