Recovery needs stability. Aware Recovery Care offers resources and support in Miami for those in sober living and beyond, helping you thrive.
Residential Sober Living in Miami, FL
It’s not atypical for addiction recovery to proceed in fits and starts. One critical stage, however, follows immediately after rehab when a patient re-enters civilian life. For many, this will mean time spent at a sober living home among fellow recovering residents. The goal of sober living is simply to immerse oneself in a supportive environment of like-minded residents who build community around living substance-free.
Still, not all sober living must take place in a facility. Another option can take place where you live with In-Home Addiction Treatment (IHAT). IHAT provides structured and long-term treatment plans with the added benefit of privacy and flexibility–delivered to a patient’s home.

Is It Worth Living Sober?
For people suffering from addiction, sober living represents nothing less than a pathway to regaining control of their lives. Its long-term outcomes are significantly better than those of people who simply return to their regular routine after rehab. Not uncommonly, foregoing sober living can lead to ‘yo yo-ing’ in and out of rehab, or in more serious cases, the hospital.
Sober living, meanwhile, is associated with lowered stress and anxiety levels, mental clarity, and improved decision-making. People who experience success with sober living rediscover meaning in their lives and are able to re-establish relationships with friends and family.
What Are Challenges to Sober Living in Miami, FL?
Miami was been impacted by nationwide surges in drug and alcohol use. Naturally, this complicates the recovery journey for its residents.
A task force created following an epidemic-level uptick in opioid use, addiction, and overdose throughout Miami-Dade County found that opioid use had surged between 2005 and 2016. Fatal opioid use in particular had doubled in that time period alone, according to county-level data, viewable here. For anyone embarking on a recovery journey, recent trends suggest a toxic drug environment throughout Miami.
Between 2014 and 2016 the same county task force attributed 376 deaths to fentanyl, a synthetic opioid estimated to be anywhere from fifty to a hundred times stronger than heroin. The number of heroin-related hospitalizations has also risen sharply in the same period, from only 10 in 2010 to over 60 in 2016. Several of these hospitalized heroin users testified to a gateway effect, whereby misuse of prescription opioids led them to seek the same fix with illegal street drugs.
How Do You Achieve Sober Living in Miami, FL?
To live sober in Miami, start with a plan. First and foremost, high-quality professional care can set you on a path to long-term sobriety. Next, identify what triggers your substance use. Then replacing the coping mechanism of drug or alcohol use with healthy alternatives represents a crucial step towards breaking the habit of addiction. In addition to therapeutic help, re-establish relationships with friends and family. They’ll be your support throughout the process.
What Are Sober Living Homes?
Sober living homes provide a physical place in which to pursue sobriety among residents in recovery. There, residents can build healthy routines, practice accountability, and develop life skills essential for independence.
Sober living homes in Miami break down into the following four types:
- Peer Run. Peer-run homes delegate accountability to fellow residents. They tend to adopt looser oversight and enforcement.
- Monitored Homes. Monitored Homes receive visits from an offsite staff who provide oversight and guidance.
- Supervised. These homes employ an onsite staff to administer a highly structured environment. They make meetings and drug testing mandatory.
- Integrated Homes. These recovery facilities blend clinical services with life-training skills.
