A Place to Live in a Sober Environment
The top reason to choose Acadiana Sober living is to have a place to live in an alcohol and drug-free environment. These homes help people as they transition from their old way of living and teach them a new way of life—one with sobriety as a cornerstone.
Imagine living in a home where people used drugs and drank alcohol. What chance would someone in recovery have when facing that type of situation? Living in a house where people are drinking or using drugs is a temptation no one fresh out of an inpatient facility should have to face. That’s not to say the lure of drugs and alcohol will disappear—drugs and alcohol are everywhere in our communities—but having a safe living environment free of temptation could mean the difference between sobriety and relapse for someone with addiction.

Having accountability and responsibility for your actions are a large part of learning life is less what a person wants to do—and more of what is good for the community and how to live a healthy lifestyle. Rules may include: a curfew, participating in house chores, paying rent, making your bed and keeping your living space clean, finding and keeping a job, quiet hours, and random drug testing. As a whole, these rules help in teaching accountability AND responsibility to people suffering from drug and alcohol addiction after they have not lived in a structured environment. Rules reinforce that to be productive members of society, we all need to be responsible for our actions and behavior.
