One Day at a Time with Structure and Support
Our transitional sober living homes are 12-step-integrated and provide a safe, sober, peer-supported environment for men 18 years and older in early recovery. When clients discharge from extended care or primary residential treatment, they often aren’t ready for full immersion back into the “real world.” They often need a support system to anchor them while working on recovery and integrating back into society. Berkeley Sober Living provides peer support and reinforcement of the core principles of 12-Step work, accountability, and community to help clients remain clean and sober while pursuing a full recovery.
