Why Sober Living
Los Angeles, California—February, 2009
If you or a loved one has a problem with drugs or alcohol and just can’t seem to stay clean on your own then you should probably look into a structured sober living home. Research has shown that being in a structured sober living facility for 90 days or longer gives addicts and alcoholics the best chance at long term sobriety.
“The research is now demonstrating what we’ve known for quite some time,” says Larry Luttrell owner of Liberty House, a nationally renowned residential treatment facility in Los Angeles.
“A couple of weeks in a rehab is not enough time to change an addicts behavior. Someone who’s been using drugs or drinking for years is not going to change his or her addict behavior in 28 days. As soon as they get out of treatment and go back to their old lives, it’s the same story. All the triggers are still there and they haven’t even begun to scratch the surface of why they do the things they do. At Liberty House we break down the addict's behavior over the course of their stay we address the real issues that have been affecting this person's life. Only then can they begin to really live a sober life.” |
