Sober Living Homes for Troubled Young Adults in Iowa

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 Iowa 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 Iowa 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..

Being present means paying attention. Your relationship with your child needs positive attention to thrive. Like your garden, your car, or your work, what you attend to flourishes. And, of course, that kind of attentiveness takes time. You can multi-task at it while you're making dinner, but the secret of a great relationship is some focused time every day given only to that child.

Give teens some leeway. Giving kids a chance to determine their own identity, giving them more independence, is key to helping them establish their own place in the world. But, if it means your teen wants to hang around with and go out with a bad crowd, then that’s something that needs to be addressed.
