What Is Sober Living? Complete Guide | By the Sea Recovery

Sober living is structured, substance-free housing where residents practice accountability and independence during recovery. It is not addiction treatment, detox, therapy, medication management, or medical care.

Where Sober Living Fits

Someone who needs detox, medication stabilization, medical monitoring, or higher-level clinical care should receive that care before sober living. Licensed outside programs and providers deliver clinical treatment and medication care; By the Sea Recovery provides nonclinical structured sober living for adult men.

At BTS, residents rebuild daily routines through shared living, house expectations, testing, meetings, work or approved daytime activity, and peer accountability.
