Each sober living home works individually, yet similarly. Each lets the
individual work at their own recovery schedule. Certain homes have a
resident manager, while residents make the rules at other homes. At
more modern models, residents pay the rent, purchase food, and actively
seek employment, if they are not already employed. Rules for each often
include adhering to curfew hours, participating in group counseling
sessions, and performing certain chores. All, however, have zero
tolerance for substance use. Not following the rules usually results in
expulsion.
