Best Gender-Specific Programs in Washington

Provider's Policy

<p>This sober living program is inspired by the owner’s experience in sober living during his recovery. He felt that many luxury, modern sober living homes were located out of state and removed from the individuals’ families and community. The team of men that run the sober living homes are dedicated to providing a supportive community as they are also in recovery themselves. Seattle Sober Living has two programs for men interested in living in a supportive community: a transitional living home and a sober living home. The homes are located throughout Seattle and have both private and shared rooms.</p> <h3>Differences between Transitional Living and Sober Living</h3> <p>The sober living home focuses on providing structure, accountability and strong communication. Another key aspect of sober living is an emphasis on learning life skills. Some of the life skills that are learned at Seattle Sober Living are learning how to navigate public transit, grocery shopping, cooking, daily planning, medication compliance, job searching, resume writing and completing college applications. Transitional Living homes have more freedom but still have random drug testing to encourage sobriety as residents adjust to real life post-treatment. In both types of homes, tenants only have to bring clothes and groceries, as everything else is provided.</p>
