Costs Of Staying In a Sober Living Home

by Tyler P. A Passionate Blogger - Entertainment
Nothing worth having comes for free but that doesn’t mean it has to be expensive. Financial barriers should be the last thing someone trying to kick an addiction has to worry about because there are affordable solutions available that are cheap and reliable. Sober living homes are the perfect solution to get away from negative influences and have a decent place to live and sleep with a support system that wants the same things you do, control of a life that is moving in a positive direction.
 
The sober living homes in San Francisco CA, are spread throughout the city so individuals can find one that is close to where they work, meets their budget and provides a compatible living environment. Costs at each house vary depending on their location and there are fees if someone breaks the rules or slips back into the addiction and wants to come back to live after proving they are sober. The prices are designed to be affordable in different budgets since addictions are not just for poor people but affect those in the middle class or well-to-do. Rehab completion is not a requirement but does help in setting individuals up for success before they come into the house where no drugs or alcohol are allowed.
 
The prices are designed to cover the basic maintenance of the home and go towards the salary of the house manager who is there to provide support, encouragement and accountability for the residents. This individual will enforce curfews, lead group meetings and assign tasks so that residents can participate in the general cleaning and upkeep of the main living areas. The best sober living homes require individuals to commit to at least 30 days but recommend several months to a year so the positive new habits are solidified and residents can get back on their feet before getting out on their own. 
 
By charging a nominal fee for living in the home, residents are encouraged to be in the workforce and re-establish good habits as a productive member of society. This also means they have less to spend on their addiction since they have to make choices for food, gas or public transportation, living and personal expenses. Another benefit of sober living homes is to teach residents how to perform routine tasks such as managing money, cleaning, cooking, etc. so they can have these skills and the self-confidence this knowledge gives them to be an independent person. 

Everything has a price whether it is living in an addiction and losing everything that is dear or making the investment in a positive future either for yourself or someone you care about. Sober living homes are voluntary and there is almost always room in at least one of the homes so you can find a place when you need it. Talk with a house manager to find out the rules, costs and application process so you can secure a spot today and put life back on the tracks and you in control.
