New Local Sober Living Home Listings Directory Expands SoberRecovery.com’s Online Addiction Treatment Resources

SoberRecovery.com, the preeminent online resource for drug rehab, treatment options and community forums for recovering substance abusers and their families, today announced a new online section of local Sober Living Home listings. The new section of the site, available at http://www.soberrecovery.com/links/sober-living-homes.html, is designed to connect visitors with local Sober Living Homes to help them maintain quality of live in an alcohol and drug-free environment.

“Sober Living Homes offer recovering addicts affordable alcohol and drug-free residences with a positive atmosphere and peer group recovery support,” stated Tom Mulligan, CFO of the Mulligan Group, a provider of marketing, financial and compliance services to the addiction treatment industry that oversees SoberRecovery.com.

“SoberRecovery® is an industry leading service for the addiction and treatment community and is the largest source of referrals to treatment centers with over 130,000 clients served every month,” noted Mulligan, adding that the biggest push for adding the Sober Living Homes section to SoberRecovery.com was that “these homes allow the residents to develop individual recovery programs and become self supporting. The main rule is zero-tolerance for drugs and alcohol. Most Sober Living Homes do random or surprise drug and alcohol testing. Other zero-tolerance rules in these homes include harassment, violence, and theft. Curfew rules are set and enforced. Residents are assigned daily chores and responsibilities and work together to keep homes clean from top to bottom. In most cases, Sober Living Homes are cleaner than private residences.”

Sober Living Homes are not detox or treatment centers, but instead offer referral services including detox hospitals and outpatient treatment facilities to help residents through recovery. Residents are required to financially support themselves by paying their own rent and purchasing their own food. They are required to work, actively seek employment, or enroll in an academic or trade school. All residents must attend a minimum number of weekly 12-step programs. The new Sober Living Home directory listings section will help hundreds of thousands of people search and connect with local homes to maintain a long-term quality of life.
