Cornerstones of our Mens Extended Care Sober Living in NJ

Here is how one can make the most of their experience in extended care from sober living.

#1-Forging Strong Relationships With Other Males In Recovery

An environment that is gender-specific virtually eliminates a lot of the competition and distractions for men in extended care from sober living. An environment that is void of outside distraction allows you to focus on the ultimate goal of sobriety. Additionally, men have a safe space to speak freely with other men on issues that plague them. Abuse, trauma, anxiety, depression, and so forth, are always brought to the forefront of recovery conversations. While the aforementioned issues affect both genders, men may especially have a more arduous time in openly discussing these matters. Yet, sober living homes will always find a way to make the setting conducive for sharing and healing. 

#2-Discovering Your Purpose

It is not uncommon to be left with this gaping void upon completion of a drug and alcohol rehab program. The void was once satiated with your addiction, but now that this is a thing of the past, men will be in hot pursuit of redefining their purpose. Recovery with Surfside Structured Sober Living can help men do just that. Men can map out their new-found life trajectories and channel that energy into things or events they may have missed out on before. 

For instance, continuing your education will always be an option from day one with Sober Education. With these kinds of programs and extracurriculars in place, it encourages active participation and involvement in your local community and recovery program. Sober living homes are no where near as stringent as conventional IOPs or PHP programs. Men will always be encouraged to execute their uninhibited creative freedom for furthering their interests. 

#3- Maintaining Accountability

This is one of the most important aspects of extended care from sober living–accountability. According to assertions from The Technical Assistance Center Strategy, clinical treatment for addiction on its own, is just one aspect of sustained recovery. It’s not the only factor that helps men maintain their long-term recovery. Clinical treatment for addiction works best when paired with accountability from peers and from recovery support services.
