Find quick answers for most common questions

Is SSRS a treatment center?

No. SSRS provides safe, structured sober living homes for individuals in recovery, but we are not an addiction treatment center. We do, however, provide additional recovery support services in addition to our sober living homes and programs for men and women.

Does SSRS provide counseling?

Yes. SSRS counselors are always available to speak to residents about any personal issues they’re facing. Our counselors have the necessary experience and qualifications to help you resolve issues as you work through your sober living program.

Does SSRS offer couples sober living?

SSRS does not offer transitional housing specifically for couples, but we do operate several gender-specific sober living houses for men and women that are located in the same neighborhood. Couples enrolled in our sober living program at the same time will enjoy convenient sober living spaces within walking distance of one another.

Will I be drug tested?

SSRS residents are all required to participate in regular drug and alcohol testing at least twice a week. Tests occur approximately 80 hours apart.
