Breaking Free: Safe Haven For Men Leaving Addiction Behind
Are you or a loved one currently on the path of recovery from substance abuse? This path can be quite challenging since there is a huge shift required when transitioning from rehabilitation to returning back to society. Because of this, how well someone is responding to their treatments and performing in rehab and recovery does not automatically indicate how well they will do once they go back to the real world.
Sunrise Sober Homes’ men’s halfway house in Nashville can help with this transition. With us, men recovering from substance abuse can gain the mindset and skills needed to thrive in recovery and live their lives to the fullest. We have the resources that men need for accountability, learning life and career skills, and the setting for them to gain a support group for their sobriety.
Call us to learn more about how our men’s halfway house can help you or your loved one start their transformation for a new “normal” life.
Benefits of Living in a Men’s Halfway House
01
Life-changing environment
Halfway houses in Nashville help those who are recovering from alcohol or drug dependence to transition from rehabilitation to life out in the real world. Residents are required to maintain sobriety and attend psychotherapy sessions to help them become individuals who take accountability for their actions and live a drug-free life. They also follow a strict routine and a variety of rules to help them get used to living a structured lifestyle for successful sobriety and behaving as expected outside the residence.
Since those who have suffered from addiction often have had troubles with their career or education, halfway houses help them go back to school, take up volunteer work, and get a job. Residents undergo therapy to help them set goals for their education, career, or life in general. They also take classes that can help them achieve their goals and create healthy habits to be successful in their endeavors.
Depending on one’s situation, some halfway houses even require their residents to maintain employment and allocate a portion of their wages for their rent. This helps them learn to meet the responsibilities of their jobs and financial obligations while maintaining a sober lifestyle.
02
Unmatched support
A support system is one of the most important aspects of a successful recovery from alcohol or drug addiction. It helps those recovering from substance abuse gain the confidence and morale they need to believe in themselves that they can thrive in sobriety. It also decreases the chances of relapse among the participants while they are living in the residence and after they rejoin society.
Men’s halfway houses in Nashville provide this support by creating a sense of belonging and camaraderie among the residents. This is not only thanks to the communal living arrangement but also to the various activities intended to brighten up the recovery process, such as: group therapy sessions, art classes, exercise classes, outdoor activities, movie nights, social activities, sports events, and trips outside the residence.
Moreover, halfway houses bring together individuals with shared similarities – substance dependence. This living arrangement encourages the housemates to build a support network that helps each member take accountability, encourage others who might be struggling, and provide the companionship someone needs. Even when it comes time to move out, they can keep in touch and help each other stick to their commitment to sobriety.
03
Comprehensive resources
Halfway houses in Nashville, TN give individuals who are recovering from substance use disorder a bridge between rehabilitation and independent living. Because of this, these places have comprehensive resources for helping and equipping their residents for independent living after rehab. They have staff and peers that will help and support them develop life and social skills to live sober and reintegrate fully into society.
Halfway house residents have access to ongoing treatment for their substance abuse and counseling problems for their recovery and transition, such as: outpatient therapy, group counseling sessions, and support group meetings. They also participate in educational programs, life skills training, and employment assistance workshops that will help them live independently in society. And, most important of all, residents are taught how to manage their triggers and stressors without resorting to substance abuse.
04
Thrive in sobriety
Men’s halfway houses aim to help their residents thrive in sobriety when they return to life outside of rehab. Not only does it provide a place for them to transition from their stay in prison or rehab before they return to the real world, it also creates a space for them to become better members of society. By the end of their stay, recovering substance abusers will have the skills they need to thrive in society and maintain their sobriety.
Moreover, residents have the time and more opportunities to build meaningful relationships with other residents. These residents have the same objective as them: to live a life of sobriety. Since any relationship has a significant influence on one’s chances of succeeding, having friends who aim to live sober increases their chances of maintaining sobriety and avoiding relapse in the future.
