Sober Living in Rhode Island
Generally speaking there are several different names for what many consider to be a sober living facility in Rhode Island. It is first important to understand that there are generally stages of structured recovery facilities in Rhode Island. Sober Living facilities are considered to be a long-term recovery solution.
Stage One (1-10days): Detox. This is usually the first stage within a structured recovery system. Generally, there is not usually any therapy or recovery presented, but is simply a means for a person to safely or comfortable withdraw off of any substances
Stage Two (15-90days): Partial Hospitilzation or Residential Treatment. This is what many people call the “28 day program”. This is an inpatient stay lasting anywhere from 15-90 days in length. The clients generally do not leave the facility during that time and experience a variety or therapy and counseling.
Stage Three (90-180 days): Halfway House. A Halfway House in Rhode Island is a highly structured setting where there is a degree of counseling present, but the clients have the freedom to leave the facility and look for work. In a halfway house, the client is “halfway” in society and “halfway” in treatment.
Stage Four: (1-3years) Sober Living. A Sober Living Facility in Rhode Island is a less structured envirionment where the clients are all in recovery, have curfews, are required to work to support themselves and generally have a strong foundation in recovery already. A sober living facility is also sometimes referred to as a three quarter house because they are “three quarters” into society. Many people confuse a halfway house with a sober living. In reality, one is more structured than the other
Stage Five: Aftercare (Lifetime). After care can include outpatient therapy, one-on-one counseling or even support groups such as AA/NA.
