Community is critical

The fellowship you create with your housemates is unmatched, and you will find that 12-step communities are an ideal solution.
There are rules to be followed
There is often a stigma that sober communities allow you to come and go as you please, but there are actually plenty of rules to be followed. These rules promote structure and security within a daily schedule. GateHouse Sober Community has its own set of guidelines for our participants, and they must be followed in order to utilize our amenities and resources.
They are usually gender-specific
It’s often found that gender-specific homes give participants the best chance of success. These homes priorities the typical needs of a man or woman which allows individuals to focus solely on their recovery journey. For example, GateHouse Sober Community happens to be a community specific for men.
They exist to assist in the transition
