[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 729197, member: 18958"] Journeer. Hi and welcome. Why not lift your posts and put them in your own new thread? That way more people can meet you and know your circumstances. A sober living home is a halfway house. The person has received some treatment and the condition is that to stay he maintain sobriety. They drug test. There is a house leader to overlook and coordinate house activities and an offsite manager. Where my son is is part of the rescue mission so it is faith based. But such participation is voluntary. My son is not a believer. This is a rental house in a nice neighborhood. There are 10 men. My son says half do not pay either for rent or food. As they recover they volunteer in community projects. It is a nice environment. In general my son likes it there. He is almost 2 months sober. If I had one critique it would be that he watches movies all day. But last week he told me that the mission director is helping him get a volunteer post. Which encourages me because I hope there is this kind of oversight. My son was NOT sober when he went. He was living in a house I own and had relapsed. He was recommended by the drug counselor he was seeing. But at that point he had not been long in treatment. There are sober living homes in every city I guess. I would have most confidence in a faith based program. I would guess a first step would be to connect with the groups in your town that organize programs for substance users and homeless. You can pm runaway bunny and she will help you begin your own new thread. [/QUOTE]
