Sober Living Homes for Troubled Young Adults in Illinois

Sober Living Homes are residences that are alcohol and drug-free. They are designed housing for troubled young adults who are in recovery. These residences provide kids between the ages of 18 and 25, both men and women in recovery from addiction, an independent living environment with fully integrated therapeutic support services. They also have access to many recreational activities and special events associated with effective therapeutic healing.

These programs are ideal for youthful men and women from Illinois who are attending college or planning to return to college and looking for a sober place to live, develop healthy friendships, and achieve academic success. Please call (866) 439-0354 to speak with a professional.

Drug-free housing provides a safe haven for those who wish to re-enter mainstream society after a struggle with substance addiction. The peer group plays a key role where individuals going through after-care may not get the understanding they need from friends or family, who can not fully understand their situation.

Other young adults from Illinois in the same situation can relate, and therefore provide a powerful support structure. Living in the home is a transition. It gets the individual ready for the day when they get their own apartment and return to a drug-free life on their own.

Some parental advice for understanding your young adult child..

TV is an effective teacher. While some TV has very positive social messages for young children, most of it teaches values contrary to what most parents want for their kids, and studies show that TV has a definite negative effect on the kids' values on sex, violence, acquisitiveness, race, and gender.

Parents can invite their teen’s friends for dinner to meet the kids they have questions about. When kids see them, see how their friends act with their parents, they can get a better sense of those friends. If you flat out say, you can't go out with those kids, it often can backfire.
