Sober Living vs Residential Treatment – What’s the Difference?

If you’re navigating recovery or supporting someone who is, it’s essential to understand the difference between residential treatment and sober living.

🔹 Residential treatment stabilizes.
🔹 Sober living builds structure and momentum.

✅ Who each option is best for
✅ What daily life looks like
✅ Why both may be part of a successful recovery path

🏠 At Steps in the Right Direction, we provide a safe, pet-friendly sober living environment to help you take your next step with support and dignity.

Choosing a sober living home is a big step!
Here are 5 things you must ask before saying yes:

- Are the homes gender-specific and structured?
- Do they allow pets or MAT?
- Is there a live-in manager?
- What does daily life look like?
- How do they build community?

We built our homes with these questions in mind — so you can focus on healing.
