You can\u2019t control another person, but you can make healthy decisions for yourself. And you must in order to have any hope of being able to support and encourage your loved one. Even for those who ultimately maintain their recovery long-term, relapse is a constant threat and a common part of the process.<\/p>\n
But, while critical to those seeking sobriety from drug or alcohol abuse, each plays a completely different role in the path to a sober lifestyle. Harbor House is a community of sober homes dedicated to helping our residents build a strong foundation for continued sobriety. While we take the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous and apply them in practice to providing sober living, we understand the importance of other factors in providing that foundation for continued sobriety. That\u2019s why we strive to give our residents a sense of home rather than just structured housing. Harbor House is a leading provider of alcohol and drug rehab services in Massachusetts. They offer a variety of programs and services for individuals and families struggling with addiction, including inpatient and outpatient rehab, sober living homes, and aftercare support.<\/p>\n
Harbor House does not provide ANY treatment or services whatsoever, but being surrounded by other sober people, we are the best place to live a sober lifestyle. The study followed 300 individuals entering sober living houses like Harbor House over an 18 month period. Participants were interviewed within their first week of entering a sober living house and again at 6-, 12-, and 18-month follow up. To be eligible to live in one of our Harbor House homes you must pass a urine test scheduled following move-in, based on your specific situation. To continue eligibility to stay in one of our sober homes all residents must pass weekly testing and comply with our zero-tolerance policy.<\/p>\n
In this case, if you don\u2019t try the worst-case may be that you end up devolving into your addiction, potentially leading to catastrophic illness or death (for you or someone else). The worst-case scenario, if you do try, is that you fail or relapse, essentially leaving you in the same place you are now. Family members can play an important role in a relative\u2019s recovery journey. Hopefully, through outreach efforts of organizations like The American Addition Centers, Start Your Recovery, and even groups like 24 South, information for college students facing addiction challenges will get better. The importance of being good to oneself regardless of how your loved one is coping with their addiction is well established.<\/p>\n

Many experts suggest a way to overcome this fear is to think of the worst-case scenario if you don\u2019t try vs the worst-case scenario if you do try.<\/p>\n
Living in one of our sober houses aids the sometimes difficult transition of reentering the community as a newly sober person. TermThe Weekly Guest fee covers a 7-day period from Friday to Friday.
