Sober Living Homes for Troubled Young Adults in New Mexico

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 New Mexico 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 New Mexico 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..

When teens are depressed, parents can consider mental health therapy. Often, a type of psychotherapy known as cognitive behavioral therapy can be helpful. During therapy families can develop skills to handle stress in a positive way, communicate with each other and understand the effect that depression and stress can have on a teen’s life.

When you or your teen leaves, say goodbye. When you return, say hello. When you first see your child in the morning, make it a goal to greeting her, preferably with a hug. This may seem obvious, but lots of families don’t do it, and research shows that families who hug goodbye in the mornings are happier.
