Sober living is transitional housing for adults in recovery. It's not treatment — there's no clinical staff on-site — but it provides structure, accountability, and a substance-free environment during the vulnerable months after treatment.
RD Sober Living homes cost $500 a month and pair with outpatient PHP or IOP so insurance covers the clinical side while housing is affordable.
A typical stay is 3–6 months. Some stay longer. The point is momentum — you leave when the next environment is safer than the one you came from.
