Sober Living

Sanctuary in Recovery

Sober living offers valuable life experience for anyone on a journey of recovery from substance use who has the opportunity to participate. Essentially, a sober house provides a supportive, substance-free home environment for people engaged in outpatient treatment, such as PHP or IOP care.

Sober living residents stay in supportive recovery housing overnight and while not in treatment or engaged in other activities.These shared homes combine structure, including curfews, household meetings and chore rotations—with the comforts of everyday living, creating a gentle bridge between treatment and full independence.

Why Sober Living After Addiction Treatment is Important

Sober living houses preserve momentum in addiction treatment by providing a safe place to exercise new healthy coping skills. The sober living experience is an ideal time to get comfortable with life in recovery with others on a similar path, before you spread your wings and return to the hustle and bustle of everyday living. 

In a sober house, you find structure, accountability, routine and peer support. Many people prefer this home-like environment to the institutional setting found in most inpatient rehabs. 

Here, you live among peers who understand your journey and are on the same road. You practice therapy homework, attend house gatherings and build healthy daily rhythms. This stepwise approach not only reduces relapse risk, it also strengthens esteem and builds connections.

Benefits of a Home-Like Recovery Environment

  • Fully furnished bedrooms, kitchens and common areas for comfortable living
  • Balanced daily schedules blending therapy assignments,reflection and downtime
  • Communal living with shared responsibilities encourages fellowship.
  • Peer support that allows roommates to also serve as accountability partners
  • Normalcy in everyday routines, grocery shopping, cooking, relaxing, which foster stability. 

Mindful Support for Lasting Wellness & Sobriety

Beyond abstinence, sober living teaches intentional living. Simple mindfulness practices, morning check-ins, and group activities cultivate present-moment awareness. These practices, drawn from contemplative traditions, build inner calm and clarity. In a nurturing home-like setting, you harmonize mind and body, rebuild self-trust and prepare confidently for independent living.

Harmony Restored: Sober Living and Outpatient Treatment

The PHP and IOP treatment model used by The Living Room at Princeton was developed to work in harmony with the sober living experience. The balance between structured care and home-like setting where growth and independence flourish provides fertile ground for new recovery to flourish. 

While you deepen coping skills and self-awareness in therapy, living in a recovery house provides routine, accountability and the camaraderie of peers on the same path.

Some of the benefits of substance use disorder treatment at The Living Room include:

  • Mindfulness-based therapy to build present-moment awareness and ease stress
  • Trauma-informed counseling to address the roots of dependence, not just symptoms
  • Community support groups that foster solidarity, encouragement and shared resilience
  • Personalized aftercare planning with weekly or bi-weekly check-ins, medication management and recovery coaching.
