Sober Living

Sober living is the final stage in Augustine Recovery’s continuum of care, and it happens right where treatment does. Our transitional supportive living homes sit adjacent to our residential properties, at the same location, so the move from residential care to more independent living is a short, seamless step rather than a jarring change of address.

Most residents transition here after completing the 90-day residential program plus the optional but strongly recommended fourth month, at roughly the 120-day mark. By then the habits of recovery are established, and this is the phase where they get practiced with growing independence, without losing the support that built them.

Support That Continues With You

What sets transitional supportive living at Augustine apart is continuity. You keep the same team that guided you through treatment, plus support focused on rebuilding daily life:

• Continued care from your Residential Therapist
• A dedicated Sober Living Case Manager
• Life skills development
• Career and employment support
• Ongoing structure and accountability

Our sober living homes provide the residents with a recovery based, transitional living environment to ensure their success in recovery. Residents are supported in their recovery by staff and their peers as they continue their journey in recovery, and are held to the same structure and accountability that they develop here at Augustine Recovery. Accountability to their peers and their house manager in sober living is expected. Sober living expectations include but are not limited to the following:

• Breathalyzer
• Residents will be subject to urine analysis
• 12 Step meeting attendance
• Weekly house meeting
• Alumni meeting
• Daily house chores
• Job search accountability
• Bringing 12 step meetings to health centers and institutions
• Active participation with a sponsor
• Agenda setting/planning
• Employment/volunteer hours
• Case management/structure family calls continue in sober living
• Most residents are required to continue participation in intensive outpatient or outpatient while in sober living
