The purpose of a support program is to help you become self sufficient. Rehab gives you the first level of training to live sober on your own, but when you complete this program you are only beginning your journey. Do you feel confident in your ability to avoid relapse? Are you willing to stay sober?
Sober coaching is the best program for those who are ready to live sober, because with a sober coach you will still have access to support when you need it, and you will still be moderated for any drug or alcohol abuse… but you have more freedom to make your own choices.
A recovery home is not appropriate for those who are willing and able to live sober. Recovery homes are designed to extend the residential support, offering a controlled setting where relapse is not possible and where further treatment can be given.
For that reason, a recovery home is also not the right sober living option for those who are unwilling to live sober, or incapable of staying sober without help… but who still need to return home and can not stay in a residential setting. If you think you would be more comfortable in a recovery home, but you can not stay in a residential recovery home, you should talk to your counsellor about sober companionship.
Sober living is difficult for everybody who first begins, so you should always be honest with yourself. If you don’t feel you will have access to healthy, nutritious meals at home… or that you will continue to receive the same levels of support you need to stay sober… then you should consider a recovery home.
