What is a Sober Living Home?

It is not: a halfway house as they are usually government owned and monitored by an inpatient facility in contrast to an SLH which can be individually owned and monitored by a landlord.

A Sober Living Home (SLH) is a transitional home that helps recovering addicts learn social and living skills to continue their sobriety after rehab. It serves as a middle ground between an inpatient facility and the “real world.�

There is usually no time limit for staying in a SLH and residents may leave whenever they please. Though a resident can be evicted off the property if they do not abide by the house rules or relapse.

Sober living homes can be split up into two different phases. Phase I has more of a strict living environment whereas Phase II has a more flexible living environment

Phase I vs Phase II SLH Phase I

Phase II

• Recovering addicts who have completed their treatment at a inpatient facility can be admitted into a phase I SLH

• Houses recovering addicts who have already lived in a phase I sober living home

• The purpose is to develop skills that will help continue sobriety outside of rehab • Living situation is looser than in an inpatient facility but residents must follow the strict rules of the house and attend all house meetings • Residents who break house rules or relapse during their stay will be evicted or be sent back to the rehabilitation facilty.

• The purpose is to refine skills learned in phase I housing and to help develop personal schedules for each resident.

• Living situation is less strict than phase I and residents may attend group meetings at least once a week • Like in phase I, any broken house rules or relapse in sobriety will result in eviction or being sent back to the rehabilitation facility

SLH vs Inpatient Facility Sober Living Home

Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility

• Residents may move in AFTER they have completed their rehab program

• Patient stays in the facility and has limited contact to the “outside world”

• MUST attend counseling or group sessions but they are not as frequent as counseling in rehab

• No distractions of everyday life

• SLHs are less restrictive and residents can live on their own schedule • The purpose of an SLH is to help recovering addicts adjust back to everyday life

• Patients usually follow a program that includes mandatory counseling and group sessions • 24/7 medical and emotional support • Patients follow strict and disciplined schedules

More focus on social connection and not physical barriers that can separate

Project Introduction Problem Statement: The amount of drug addiction in the United States have been increasing since the 1990s. Those who are specifically affected are Americans between the ages of 18 and 25. Despite the fact that there are treatment centers around, the chances of relapse during recovery is between 40 and 60 percent. One of the major factors of replase is that recovering addicts find it difficult to adjust back into the “real world” after staying in a inpatient rehab facilty.

Concept Statement:

The sun and its rays are a vital part of growing in life, where it radiates healing and peace to all living things. The sun’s core is its strong central base and the rays are the golden, bright path that illuminates the atmosphere. This inspires the design of this Sober Living Home to encourage personal growth and individuality within the core of the home and to eventually reach healthy life and social skills.

The concept was inspired by the first settlers who lived in Cambria known as the Chumash Tribe. One of their most notable traditions is their love of rock art and symbols of the sun were seen in many of the art. It represents “the life-giving abudance with its warmth radiating healing and peace.”

Project Goal: The purpose of this project is to create a healthy and healing environment to encourage a positive lifestyle change.
