[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 390415, member: 59"] I wrote this late last night and didn't have much time to respond but from what I have found there are a couple types of sober houses. Some are run by the residents themselves, they each pay their own rent and work in the community and are suppose to be going to AA meetings and learning to live sober. Those would worry me because you are I both know that putting several recovering addicts together in a home self-monitoring is a bad idea. The sober homes that our treatment centers refer to and many that I have found when searching in our local area, are connected to a community treatment center in some way and have a housemother who makes sure the residents follow through on their meetings and aftercare program or they are kicked out of the home. There is usually an interview process that the resident must go through to make sure they are a good candidate. Ask a lot of questions and if possible go and see the house in person so you can make sure it is the type of safe environment you are looking for. Good luck, Nancy [/QUOTE]
