Sober Living in Dallas: Choose Novo Detox

Many people mistakenly believe that addiction treatment is something that falls into a “one size fits all” category. However, any person who has ever struggled with addiction will tell you that addiction is something that impacts them differently in comparison to another individual. There is always room for growth when it comes to your recovery and journey toward sobriety which is just one of the reasons why the Novo treatment team strongly encourages every person who comes to our facility to take advantage of sober living. Sober living will provide you with the environment that you need to adjust back to a normal schedule of life. 

Although taking advantage of our sober houses in Dallas Texas is important, it’s just as critical to remember that there is work that you will need to do first to get to the point where you’re ready to commit to this type of treatment program. Before you can begin one of the types of recovery programs as part of your drug and alcohol recovery plan, you will need to complete either a residential treatment program or an outpatient program. 

Residential treatment or an inpatient treatment program provides you with the sober environment needed during the early stages of addressing your alcohol and drugs issue. When you opt to commit to a residential or inpatient program, you will be able to live on the campus of your treatment facility of choice where you will have around-the-clock access to your recovery team in a safe environment. On the other hand, outpatient treatment is more flexible because you will come to our campus at set times throughout the week for treatment. However, you can live at home and still maintain your full-time or part-time work or school responsibilities. 

Benefits of Sober Living With Novo Detox

There are several advantages associated with participating in a sober living program. If you’re still on the edge about whether or not it’s a good idea for you to participate in a sober living program, here are a few reasons why you should choose to follow through with this type of program: 

Continuous guidance and support 

One of the main reasons an individual opts to work through a sober living facility is that it provides you with the continuous guidance and support you need during this time in your recovery. Being around other people who are committed to their sobriety can inspire you to continue in your recovery decision and make the changes you need to make to maintain your sobriety. 

Develop a sense of independence 

You have to overcome many obstacles when you’re learning what it means to be a sober individual. Part of this journey is learning how to be independent without giving into the temptation of addiction. During sober living, you can come and go from your sober living facility as needed. You will need to learn to manage this sense of freedom. 

Responsibility 

You will start to develop a sense of responsibility when you’re in treatment. You will be responsible for certain aspects of maintenance within the facility. You will also have a curfew and other assorted tasks that you will need to do in order to be able to stay at that facility. Your exact responsibilities are something your treatment team will be able to review with you if you choose to go into sober living. For example, something that you may have to do is attend NA or AA meetings. You will notice a similarity between a Narcotics Anonymous and an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in many ways and it will help you grow in your understanding of addiction. 

Ongoing therapy 

Therapy will be a staple when you’re in traditional addiction treatment. Sober living will allow you to continue participating in different forms of therapy that helped you so much during the time that you were in your initial recovery. From individual therapy to group therapy, you will still experience the support and reassurance you received during your initial time participating in therapy. If you have any concerns about your time in therapy, be sure to raise them with your treatment team. 

Women's Sober Living in Dallas

Sadly, many women fall into the spiral of addiction as a result of a traumatic experience that they had with a man. Therefore, they may not be ready to be around men as they work on their sobriety plan. A women’s sober living facility gives you the chance to be able to continue to focus on yourself and your recovery without added distractions. You will be able to share your experiences with other mothers that may be working toward developing a better relationship with their children after experiencing addiction. You may interact with other daughters who feel as though they have let their parents and their families down due to their addiction. All of this affirmation and support will only help you continue taking steps toward your overall recovery journey.

Men's Sober Living in Dallas

In the same way that it’s important to provide a safe environment for women who are working through a traditional sober living program, it’s just as important to provide this flexibility to men. Oftentimes, people overlook that men may have experienced just as much trauma as a woman during their life, contributing to their alcohol and drug addiction. Although this is something that you will work on during your drug or alcohol treatment program, committing to a men’s sober facility can help you remain focused on your goals for your overall substance abuse recovery. 

While you’re in drug or alcohol rehab in Dallas, you will have met other men who may have had similar stories to you regarding your recovery. When you’re in a recovery house for men, you will experience the same thing. Although it may be initially awkward to meet new people, you will meet other fathers, brothers, and sons with a common goal: recovery. A Dallas sober living environment will give you the initial step that you need to transition back into life now that you have the tools that you need to do so all with the peace of mind of knowing that when you come home each night, you will be surrounded by sobriety and other men who are there to support you during this period of extended care.

Aftercare & Alumni Support

One of the critical aspects of participating in this type of living environment revolves around participating in aftercare or alumni programs. This type of program in Dallas will continue to put you in touch with other people who are excelling at their own extended care programs. Combining a Dallas sober living program with going to regular Alcoholics Anonymous meetings or Narcotics Anonymous meetings is an excellent way for you to continue to build on the life skills you are learning and continue to build your support system, which is critical in your sobriety. 

Our sober houses in Dallas Texas for those that were former drug addicts or those in alcohol recovery are second to none. Remember that we also offer a wide range of addiction treatment programs over and above the sober housing provided through our treatment facility. If you’re interested in learning more about our traditional sober living environment which is located in Dallas Texas, we encourage you to get in touch with us today. You can overcome substance abuse with the right type of help, including having the right type of living environment at certain stages of your recovery. Novo Detox is here to provide that for you. 

Why Choose Novo Detox for Sober Living in Dallas?

Our medically-assisted treatment in Dallas and sober living home aims to provide you with the transitional living environment to continue developing the life skills you initially learned during your time in your inpatient treatment or outpatient program. It’s key to point out that there is a difference between a halfway house and our transitional living home. First and foremost, a halfway house is often run by government agencies, which means that this type of environment is filled with overcrowded dorm-style rooms that are often used as emergency housing. 

Novo Detox, on the other hand, provides a sober living environment much different from a halfway house. You will have the opportunity to continue to focus on your recovery while still receiving support from our team and others in that sober living environment with you. This experience will help reinforce life skills, responsibilities, and accountability regarding your overall recovery.
