New Local Detox House Listings Directory Expands SoberRecovery.com’s Online Addiction Treatment Resources

Online Resource Center and Community Forum for Substance Abuse and Addiction Offers Local Detox House Listings Directory To Further Assist Over 50,000 Recovering Addicts

PALM SPRINGS, CA June 28, 2009 – 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 Detox House listings.

The new section of the site, available at http://www.soberrecovery.com/links/detox-houses.html, is designed to connect visitors with local Detox Houses as an alternative to clinical hospital settings.

“Detox Houses offer patients a professional, compassionate and more relaxing alternative to expensive hospital detoxification,” 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 Detox Houses section to SoberRecovery.com was that “these facilities offer a more relaxed environment, have specially trained doctors with a passion for addiction recovery, and offer intervention and aftercare alternatives. Once an alcoholic or addict stops using, there is strong urge to use again if one encounters unfortunate life situations including bad credit, old bills, relationship problems, or unemployment. Detox Houses provide services to help recovering addicts with long-term life and sobriety planning.”

Most Detox Houses are regular residences with relaxed settings. Residents receive treatment and recovery services and then work with coaches to put together a plan for sober, self-sufficient living including finding a place to live and employment. In some cases, Detox Houses also arrange extended living options for those who are not quite ready to be independent after recovery.

The new Detox Houses directory listings section will help hundreds of thousands of people search and connect with local alternative treatment facilities to guide them on their path to recovery and help them maintain a stable, healthy life.
