Completed Detoxification and Treatment
Before entering a sober living home, it is typically necessary for individuals to complete a detoxification program. Detox helps to rid the body of drugs and alcohol and manage withdrawal symptoms in a medically supervised environment. It is an important first step in the recovery process and can help to set the stage for success in sober living. At Ventura Sober Living, residents must have completed detoxification and treatment for their addiction prior to enrollment.

We require that our residents have at least 30 days of sobriety and a commitment to maintaining their sobriety while in our program.

Entering a sober living home can be a transformative experience, but it requires a willingness to make changes in one’s life. At Ventura Sober Living, this may include adjusting daily routines, developing new coping strategies for managing stress and triggers, and being open to feedback and suggestions from other residents in the home.
