Who Can Live in Sober Living Homes
and How Much to Pay?
 The truth is that sober living homes are not for everyone. There
will be specific rules to follow. For instance, you cannot taste
alcohol or even use products that contain alcohol. You will have to
return to the facility by a set time. Failing to comply with any of
these requirements can get you thrown out of the facility. It means
that if you are not good at dealing with authority or you have
trouble following rules, sober living facilities are not going to
work great for you.
 Similarly, you may not benefit from these facilities if you become
violent while trying to break your addiction. In this situation, you
need specialized assistance and support from a professional who
knows how to handle such patients. This is when you will be better
off going into a rehab program. In fact, it is better to go through a
rehab program and then opt for a sober living facility to ensure
that you are now sober enough to return to your normal life.
