Why Sober Living and Recovery Coaching are Important to Recovery

Transitional sober living and recovery coaching offer many benefits to people recovering from addiction and are key to successful long-term recovery. Sober living facilities provide a safe, structured, healthy living environment to continue to work on what has been learned in treatment and build upon their sobriety while offering much-needed peer support. Recovery coaches help individuals affected by substance use disorder by providing guidance and direction on the journey to recovery. They develop and implement a recovery plan, ensure a strong support system is in place as well as make sure each person is using all the recovery tools available to best reach their goals.

At Herren Project, we view both as critical tools for those new to recovery in supporting their journey, providing for better recovery outcomes and sustainable addiction recovery.

Herren Project Recovery Housing Scholarships

Herren Project offers sober housing scholarships and recovery coaching mentors to positively support steps towards living a substance-free life. Recovery scholarship opportunities are available to those in treatment nationwide to provide financial and emotional support for those motivated to continue to heal their lives after treatment.

Approved candidates are given a chance to get back on their feet and transition into their new sober life in a safe and successful way without the immediate financial burden of paying rent right after treatment. Our goal is to support and empower individuals as they transition out of drug or alcohol addiction treatment and into recovery to help them establish a new, healthy lifestyle.
