Why Choose The Recovery Foundation?

At our nonprofit mental health sober living home, we treat our clients with the individual care and attention they need to make a full, long-lasting recovery from their mental illness and addiction problems. We understand that each person responds differently to treatments and that each person is coming from a different combination of experiences, therefore we do not offer a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. The Foundation House is a mental health sober living home that has each client’s best interest at heart.

We believe in providing our clients with the fundamental tools to have a meaningful life, with purpose and usefulness to themselves and those around them. By building trust, developing integrity, learning accountability, change is invoked. We also insist that clients participate in their own sobriety. For example, service commitments, sober parties, conventions, dances, fellowship, and mandatory house outings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does sober living cost?

The cost of sober living can vary significantly depending on various factors such as location, amenities offered, program duration, and level of support provided. On average, sober living facilities can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars per month. Some may accept insurance or offer sliding scale fees based on income, while others may require payment upfront. It’s best to research and contact specific facilities directly to inquire about their pricing and any potential financial assistance options available.

What if I need treatment?

If you require additional treatment while in sober living, many facilities can accommodate your needs. Some sober living homes may offer on-site counseling services or have partnerships with local treatment centers. Additionally, they may assist you in finding appropriate resources such as outpatient programs, therapy sessions, or support groups to address your specific needs while maintaining your residency in sober living.

Are there rules at your sober homes?

Yes, most sober living homes have rules and guidelines in place to create a supportive and structured environment conducive to recovery. These rules typically include guidelines regarding curfew, substance use, visitors, chores, attendance at support meetings, and adherence to house policies. The specific rules can vary from one facility to another, but they are generally designed to promote accountability, sobriety, and mutual respect among residents.

Will I be able to work or go to school?

Many sober living facilities encourage residents to pursue employment, education, or vocational training as part of their recovery journey. However, the ability to work or attend school while in sober living may depend on individual circumstances, such as your readiness for such responsibilities and the program’s rules regarding outside commitments. Some facilities may have specific guidelines regarding employment or school attendance, such as curfews or requirements to maintain sobriety and attend support meetings. It’s essential to discuss your goals and plans with the sober living staff to ensure that they align with the program’s expectations and guidelines.
