No Regulations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sober living homes aren&#8217;t under the same scrutiny\u00a0as medically-related residences (like nursing homes and assisted living facilities). However, sober living homes\u00a0<em>are<\/em> regulated.\u00a0People shouldn&#8217;t\u00a0let these sober living myths stop\u00a0them from receiving care.<\/p>\n<p>If any medical services are provided on the premises, additional regulations can apply.<\/p>\n<p>Encourage people to take\u00a0the time to tour a facility to determine if it&#8217;s the right fit for them. They&#8217;ll likely ask about the regulations and local ordinances\u00a0you follow.\u00a0They can find peace of mind knowing the home follows local laws and regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasterecovery.com\/resources\/2022\/01\/23\/top-8-quality-standards-for-sober-living-homes\/\">quality standards<\/a> for sober living homes to consider, too.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-unsafe\"><\/span>2. Unsafe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some residents question if they&#8217;ll remain safe while living in a sober living home.<\/p>\n<p>Sober living homes are designed to help addicts after they complete their rehabilitation. Residents are from all walks of life. However, some sober homes are more restrictive about who they accept than others.<\/p>\n<p>Determine how you&#8217;ll\u00a0ensure residents will remain safe before opening your own sober house.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-drug-use-is-common\"><\/span>3. Drug Use is Common<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the biggest sober living myths that can impact\u00a0someone&#8217;s\u00a0decision is believing drug use is common in a sober living home. The purpose of moving into a sober living home is to maintain sobriety after rehab. As a result, alcohol and drug use aren&#8217;t allowed.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, many sober living homes will require\u00a0residents to complete random drug and alcohol testing while\u00a0they&#8217;re a resident. In some cases,\u00a0they could get kicked out of sober house living if\u00a0they break this rule.<\/p>\n<p>In other cases,\u00a0residents\u00a0need to seek counseling if\u00a0they&#8217;re caught using a banned substance.<\/p>\n<p>Following this rule can help\u00a0them remain accountable for\u00a0their sobriety.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-poor-maintenance\"><\/span>4. Poor Maintenance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the biggest sober house living myths that exist today is that the homes are poorly maintained. Many people imagine dilapidated houses in need of repair.<\/p>\n<p>Before moving into a sober living home,\u00a0residents\u00a0need to agree to a set of rules. One of the rules might involve completing weekly chores. Residents are responsible for maintaining the sober living home they remain in.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, sober living homes are better maintained than most people think.<\/p>\n<p>In order to attract new residents and funding, most sober living homes focus on creating an inviting environment. It&#8217;s also important to make sure a sober living home is safe and clean. Finding the right environment can help support\u00a0their sobriety.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure residents can find a home\u00a0they feel comfortable living in.\u00a0They&#8217;ll have an easier time focusing on\u00a0their sobriety if\u00a0they&#8217;re comfortable.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-bad-neighborhoods\"><\/span>5. Bad Neighborhoods<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Previously, government programs and local, non-profit organizations supported the first few sober living facilities. These homes received limited funding, though. As a result, they were established where it was considered cost-effective at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Too often, these homes were placed in less desirable neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p>The stigma has since shifted, though, and overall funding has increased. In recent years, new, private treatment facilities were built. Today, sober living homes are now located in more comfortable areas.<\/p>\n<p>You can find sober living homes in almost any type of neighborhood across the country. With that in mind,\u00a0residents\u00a0can find locations based on their\u00a0preference or comfort zone.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-pets-arent-allowed\"><\/span>6. Pets Aren&#8217;t Allowed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some sober living homes\u00a0<em>don&#8217;t<\/em> allow pets. However, that&#8217;s not the case for every home.<\/p>\n<p>Before choosing a sober house, residents might ask if pets are allowed. Don&#8217;t forget to mention pets in your\u00a0home&#8217;s rules.<\/p>\n<p>Caring for a pet requires\u00a0residents to remain responsible and accountable. Having a pet also provides\u00a0them with a loving companion while\u00a0they&#8217;re in recovery. Caring for a pet could help\u00a0them as a recovering addict.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-no-vacancy\"><\/span>7. No Vacancy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many people believe that most sober living homes are already full. However, new sober living homes open up all the time. Most facilities are able to accept residents almost immediately, too.<\/p>\n<p>If your sober house suddenly fills up,\u00a0have a potential resident talk\u00a0to someone on staff. Try to help the resident find another sober living home nearby. After all, most homes are part of a larger network.<\/p>\n<p>Treatment professionals understand how important it is to find a sober living home as part of\u00a0the\u00a0recovery process.\u00a0Help potential residents\u00a0find a nearby sober house\u00a0so they can\u00a0begin treatment right away.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8-residency-is-free\"><\/span>8. Residency is Free<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some people also believe that staying in sober house living is free. However, most homes require\u00a0residents\u00a0to pay rent and other fees.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you outline the fees your residents will need to pay before you start accepting guests.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9-no-friends-or-family\"><\/span>9.

Having support from a loved one can help\u00a0residents maintain\u00a0their sobriety. However,\u00a0you can set\u00a0some restrictions about when\u00a0they can receive visitors.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to\u00a0mention these restrictions in\u00a0the sober home&#8217;s rules\u00a0regarding guests.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10-theyre-all-the-same\"><\/span>10.
