In-home addiction treatment that really works

Is It Worth Living Sober?
Like all addiction recovery treatments, sober living comes with pros and cons. On the one hand, not all people are cut out for life inside a treatment facility. Mandatory meetings and in some cases, drug testing may chafe at a sense of personal independence. For others, job obligations would make daily sober living routines inconvenient.
Still, it’s hard to overstate the benefits of getting sober. Sobriety is associated with reduced levels of anxiety, depression, and mood swings. Newly sober people often experience a resurgence of focus, not to mention self-esteem. Rebuilding damaged friendships and renewed interest in long-term career goals are other positive “side effects” of abstinence.
What Are Challenges to Sober Living in Waltham, MA?
Like many towns and cities nationwide, Waltham has felt the impact of the opioid epidemic. Even after local interventions, the statistics speak to a worsening problem:
- Opiod-related overdose fatalities rose 2.5 percent from 2021 to 2022, accounting for an estimated 2,357 total deaths.
- Data from the first three months of 2023 shows an estimated 522 opioid-related deaths, a slight decrease from the same time period the year before.
- Where toxicology reports were available, fentanyl was detected in 93% of fatal opioid overdoses in 2022.
The prevalence of opioids locally is one of several factors that contribute to a challenging drug landscape. In some areas, shortages of Naloxone (a drug for treating opioid overdose) have hampered local treatment initiatives. Elsewhere, lack of access to high-quality treatment prevents people from obtaining the care they need. Taken together, these factors make reintegration that much harder for Waltham residents.
How Do You Achieve Sober Living in Waltham, MA?
Achieve sober living by implementing healthy day-to-day changes. Set aside time for regular exercise, eat well, and follow a consistent sleep schedule. Implement practices that promote presence of mind, such as meditation or journaling. Where possible, repair frayed or broken relationships by informing friends and family of your recovery plans.
With your routines in order, do the important therapeutic work of reflecting on your triggers. Only by identifying what prompts you to use can you begin developing solid coping mechanisms against temptation and relapse.
What Are Sober Living Homes?
Sober living homes are residential facilities where people pursue substance-free addiction recovery under one roof. They come in the following four categories:
- Peer-Run. Facilities managed by residents. They focus on peer accountability.
- Monitored. Facilities are visited by offsite staff who provide loose oversight and guidance.
- Supervised. An onsite staff enforces a structured environment, including attendance at meetings and adherence to drug testing requirements.
- Integrated. An onsite staff provides clinical guidance and life skills training.
