Frequently asked questions

I cannot seem to stay sober... what can I do?

It is not uncommon and is part of  your past experience. Build a support network with a group of sober friends and family members who understand you and your goals. Living in a sober house for a long time will be a good choice, so that you can be around others committed to sobriety.

What is the age requirement?

If you are 18 or older, you are welcomed to TLC Sober Living.

When I am ready to go to a sober living?

When your drug test is clean, and you are ready to commit yourself to continue your recovery path.

May I smoke?

Smoking and vaping are permitted in a designated area. Though we also encourage one to consider cutting down or quitting, because smoking is a dependency.  We understand smoking scission may be frustrating and some individuals prefer to wait to stop smoking or vaping until a later date.

Will I be drug tested?

Yes, frequent and random drug testing will be preformed to ensure the practice of abstinence while learning new skills.

May I have visitors?

Yes. Visitors who respect and support your sobriety are welcomed after approval of TLC staff.

What is the role of family in recovery?

It is encouraged that the family be involved with the recovery process. The behavior of someone suffering from abuse of drugs, alcohol or an addictive behavior such as gambling or social media can be tough for families to handle. Family members feel devastated and powerless over the person with the addiction. There are recovery tools for both the person struggling with addiction as well as tools for family, friends, and peers in regards to the best way to support themselves in order to support the abuser.
