Questions about sober living

What is sober living?

Substance-free group housing for adults in recovery, typically with house rules, a curfew, and peer accountability. It's a step down from residential treatment — residents usually work, attend meetings, or continue outpatient treatment while living there.

Is sober living the same as rehab?

No. Rehab (residential treatment) provides clinical, medical, and therapeutic care. Sober living is housing — a supportive place to live after treatment, not a treatment program itself. Many people move from rehab into sober living.

Are sober living homes licensed by the state?

California doesn't license sober living homes the way it licenses senior care or foster care facilities, so these listings come from what homes tell us directly rather than a state registry. Ask any home directly about its certifications, house rules, and staff.
