Alcoholism and drug addiction run rampant throughout society. It destroys the lives of both addicts and those closest to them. Anyone who has struggled with the disease knows this to be true.
Sober Living
At Granite House, we believe the road to recovery is most effectively facilitated through a Sober Living environment. While utilizing principles established by twelve-step programs, the distinguishing features of sober living are:
- A focus on personal accountability
- Development of self-discipline
- Structured environment for processing issues associated with recovery
- Peer support groups to provide guidance and assistance in the struggle to achieve sobriety return to a productive lifestyle
While these are not the only characteristics, a look at what we offer and expect at Granite House quickly demonstrates that these are crucial elements.
Dedicated to teaching committed selflessness, and accountability, The Granite House strives to provide a sense of community and belonging for addicts and alcoholics in early recovery. Our residents are required to participate in a number of programs (including those patterned on the Twelve Step model) centered on the sober living philosophies that establish and reinforce a sense of self-worth, and provide a source of strength in the battle against addiction. In addition, our house managers and group leaders help residents to develop appropriate support processes in anticipation of leaving Granite House and returning to mainstream society.
