ARENA Sober Living exists to provide an affordable, home-like environment for men who have successfully completed primary residential treatment for substance dependence and who have the sincere desire to remain in a supportive recovering community as they practice and develop their sober lifestyle and continue to grow mentally, physically, spiritually and socially. Residents will increase their personal skill level in the area of: honesty, accountability, obtaining and maintaining gainful employment, social interaction, personal and financial responsibility, self-esteem, goal setting and achievement.

 

Many addicted persons who seek treatment often believe “rehab” is usually a 21 to 28 day stay. In fact, the industry standard has long been a 90 days stay. Reason being, addiction didn’t happen overnight and stabilization in recovery doesn’t happen overnight. It takes quite a while for the physical and psychological effects of addiction to lessen its grip on our bodies and our brain.

 

Time in treatment is a key factor. The national percentage rate of relapse (after a shorter stay in primary treatment) is approximately 85% to 90%. Without time to stabilize, (and practice what we learned in treatment), we often fall back into our old mindsets, habits, and return to people, places and things that we know; “a comfortable misery” so-to-speak, and very often that is a path to relapse.

 

We lose hope and get discouraged and disappointed. Sober Living Centers are a much expanded version of the “halfway house” concept. The major difference is that Sober Living Centers offer much closer supervision, oversight, direction and holistic (mind-body-spirit) approach to a new life in recovery. If you or your loved one wants a solid foundation in recovery, we hope you will choose to go the extra mile in your recovery.
