How Valley Sober Living (VSL) Works…
It’s all about “We”…The family “spirit” in which one experiences from living in any VSL home is profound and more effective than an individual living alone or in other challenged environments! The fellowship and therapeutic atmosphere of our homes are incomparable! Each participant reinforces their own recovery through the “caring support” that comes from other recovering participants in our homes. Each and every participant is a member of the “Family” and is encouraged to participate. Clean & Sober living is a sacred and honorable experience!. VSL homes strive to promote and foster the “We” experience of recovery!
VSL operates as a “Family” with shared house responsibilities that are contribute to feeling productive, builds self esteem and helps assure that our homes remain clean, safe and healthy environments for recovery!

Therapy, treatment and formal counseling are not a part of our operation. Our approach succeeds because we encourage you to assume responsibility for yourself as part of a “family”. We create a clean, safe, wholesome and loving environment with minimal structure through accountability and responsibility. We adhere to house standards to nurture our common goal: living Clean and Sober!

If you are completing an in-patient treatment program, it is best to ask your case manager |
|
|
or counselor to assist you in contacting us to enroll and secure a bed prior to your discharge (or you can personally calling us directly is perfectly acceptable). Transferring directly to our “sober” home after discharge and maintaining a “seamless” transition is “critical” to avoid temptations during this vulnerable stage! VSL is the choice…! |
What you should bring…
You are responsible for purchasing your own food and supplying your bedding items (for a twin size), towels along with minimal personal belongings, as storage space is limited.
Our “management” style…
Each VSL home is managed by a House Parent and an Assistant House Parent, both established VSL participants, having substantial recovery “time” with managerial capability along with their own positive and demonstrated recovery.
Our Relapse Policy…
If a participant “Relapses” (by using drugs or alcohol), they are discharged, to ensure the integrity of a sober environment! Re-instatement is certainly possible (and welcomed) after a demonstrated proof of sobriety for 48 hour period of abstinence and other stipulations are met. A $100 readmit fee shall be charged as part of re-enrollment
