Sober Homes in Arizona, Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin

The Forest Sober Living provides support for those making the transition out of inpatient treatment and who require help learning how to live in the world again. Patients generally leave intense treatment with minimal post-treatment support, which may have a significant impact on their long-term sobriety. Our homes address those needs by providing structure, care, companionship, and purpose.
We aim to provide an uncomplicated process based around stability, relationships, and personal growth — areas that contribute to recovery. We operate beautifully designed homes in safe, upper-middle-class neighborhoods where people can heal and prosper. Every element of our recovery environment is designed to support our belief that recovery is part of a supportive environment, and that recovery needs a supportive environment that should feel like home.

Who We Serve

The Forest houses are structured to provide support for men transitioning back into a sober and productive lifestyle after completing detox and primary treatments. These homes provide structure, accountability, and real-world peer support to promote continued recovery. There is a consistent daily schedule for all residents, including curfews, shared responsibilities, and drug testing to ensure that all residents are living in a safe and sober environment. The Forest house managers and peer mentors are also available to provide guidance and support to help each resident rebuild their trust, develop healthy habits, and work toward their long-term goals.
The Forest women’s homes offer supportive environments to promote the continual recovery of women who have completed detox and primary treatment. Many women benefit from time in a structured environment that allows them to be independent while being held accountable for their actions. The daily structure and clear expectations of the house, as well as the general sense of the community, provide residents with a stable base from which they can focus on building their confidence, developing healthy routines, and moving forward at their own pace.
For those who would feel comfortable in an environment with both men and women, The Forest coed homes provide residents with a structured environment and a sense of supportive community around them as they transition from treatment to living sober. All residents are required to work, go to school, or receive outpatient treatment while abiding by house policies to ensure the house remains a safe and respectful place for everyone. The balance of independence and responsibility provides residents with the real-life experience they will require for success after leaving the structured recovery environment.
Acceptance is critical for everyone in recovery, and The Forest LGBTQ homes were built for that purpose. The Forest provides a safe and accepting environment for those wanting to focus on their sobriety without fear of judgement. The structure and accountability of LGBTQ-friendly homes promote respect and acceptance while providing opportunities for residents to support others and strengthen their recovery support system. This lets everyone continue their journey in an environment in which they are comfortable expressing their true selves.
For many, their pets are as important to their recovery process as any treatment component. At select locations, The Forest provides options for approved residents to have their pets live with them during recovery. Although all residents of the homes must comply with the policies, allowing pets to live with their owners can help to lessen the stress of transitioning to a sober and responsible lifestyle. The Forest’s goal is to provide supportive environments in which individuals in recovery can continue to grow in confidence with their pets by their side and ultimately succeed in their new lives without alcohol and drugs.

How to Choose a Sober Living Home

Choosing a sober living home is a critical part of one’s recovery journey. Look for the following characteristics to make sure you or your loved one is safe and supported:
  • A sober living home must remain fully substance-free, supported by regular testing to ensure residents stay committed to abstinence
  • A live-in site manager enforces house rules such as curfews and chores, and staff should be available 24/7 with peer leaders on hand for emergencies.
  • Homes should encourage community through group outings, weekly meetings, and mentoring to help residents build sober, supportive relationships.
  • Quality programs also teach practical life skills, including budgeting, resume preparation, and job-search support.
  • The home must hold proper licenses or certifications, confirming it meets recognized ethical and quality standards.
  • Operators should communicate clearly about fees, rules, staffing, and available support. Prospective residents should ask about staff coverage and the services provided.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions? Give us a call.

What is sober living, and how is it different from rehab?

Sober living is a structured residence for individuals who have completed detoxification or inpatient treatment but are unable to live alone just yet. Unlike rehab, clients do not spend full days in programming. Instead, sober living residents work or attend school or outpatient services, and then return to a sober environment free of drugs and alcohol that is conducive to accountability and developing a consistent daily routine.
The Forest Sober Living is designed for individuals who wish to maintain their sobriety and are looking to have extra structure in their lives before they return to fully independent living. Most of our residents come to us from treatment facilities and realize that their recovery is a lifelong commitment. They wish to continue receiving support and choose sober living to surround themselves with like-minded individuals in a structured and consistent environment so they can rebuild their lives.
The length of stay varies from person to person depending on how stable they feel in their employment, their daily routine, and their local support network. Most people stay anywhere from three months to a year. We generally encourage residents to stay until they have a steady income and a solid routine in place. Taking that extra time helps ensure a smoother, more successful transition once they move into a home of their own.
Residents are expected to follow a consistent daily schedule. For most, this means spending the day at work, in school, or attending outpatient treatment sessions. Evenings are usually reserved for recovery meetings or taking care of chores around the house. We use curfews and house policies to keep the environment safe and predictable, which helps everyone stay focused on their progress.
Yes. Curfews and house guidelines are a huge part of why sober living actually works. These rules provide necessary structure for everyone in the home, covering everything from household chores to expectations for work or school attendance. They aren’t meant to be restrictive for the sake of it; they are designed to create a sense of safety and order that helps residents feel more secure in their recovery.
Yes. The Forest Sober Living offers a variety of housing options to make sure everyone feels at home. We have several different environments available and can help you find the one that fits your needs best, including residences for men or women, co-ed spaces, LGBTQ-friendly homes, and even pet-friendly locations in specific areas. If you reach out to our team, we can help you find a setting that matches exactly where you are in your journey.
