WE ARE A SOBER LIVING HOME THAT CARES
Sober Living East is a women-only transitional housing facility that becomes integral to your aftercare following inpatient rehab or during outpatient rehab. We are much more than a home, though. We provide a structured, substance-free environment where you can transform your life to embrace the sober journey ahead of you. Whether you come on your own, as part of your intervention, or even a court order, you will receive a plethora of opportunities to gain the tools and skills you need to grow and rebuild your life brick by brick – at your own pace, every day.
You will be sharing our home with other women who share the same goal of sobriety and independent living. You build lasting relationships as you share, learn, and grow together.
