I'm having trouble locating sober housing for my 20 yr old daughter, difficult child 1, after she has relapsed with weed and alcohol (but mostly weed) after prematurely leaving a facilty that was treating her dual diagnosis (substance abuse and MDD). She realizes now that she needs to be in a sober housing situation but I suppose for obvious reasons of anonymity, they are hard to find.
She is living with her father and stoner younger brother since signing herself out of the place in Vermont that had seemed to be working for her, and she is just miserable. I'm in the process of moving from a house to a small apartment with her younger sister (downsizing after a lengthy post-divorce financial battle) and there is not only no room for her, but I'm worried about her relapsing and affecting her younger sister. She is also currently off her medications and prone to mood swings and general irritability.
I contacted a substance abuse counselor and asked about sober living but she said she has had problems finding it as well in the part of New England we live in. My therapist suggested that I call different treatment places and find out where they refer their patients following inpatient treatment.
Not much to be found online. I see a place way upstate but we were hoping to be able to keep her part time job and continue with classes at the local community college.
Does anyone have advice about how to locate sober living arrangement?
Thanks.
