Sober Transitional Housing

SOBER TRANSITIONAL HOUSING (STH) will provide a wrap-around support system during the duration of the participant’s stay. This is an alcohol and drug free home in conjunction with Behavioral Health (BH) Department’s out-patient services (level 1) currently provided to eligible participants.

This support system allows participants to avoid the isolation that can sometimes come with returning home while in the early stages of recovery. It further provides an environment to support recovery from substance abuse and addiction for those who are emerging from rehabilitation.

The STH acts as supplement to a participant’s recovery. It is an alternative to going from an immersive care environment to an unstructured home environment without having to give up the comforts of a home. Because sober living replicates a home environment with normal, everyday life situations while instilling healthy habits, it helps to reduce the risk of relapse.

ELIGIBILITY

We work with participants in conjunction with other Tribal/community programs and services to provide wrap-around care that is supportive, strength based and culturally grounded. This can include job skills, GED/High School Diploma, Vocational Rehabilitation, budgeting, cooking/cleaning skills and family reunification plans. Our hope is that all participants feel supported and empowered in “their way” to recovery.

Why might a person need Sober Transitional Housing?

The journey to recovery is a process. One of the biggest challenges an individual can face during recovery is returning to their life without the supports they need to keep them sober. Staying sober takes a lot of hard work and there are many bumps that can knock someone off course. Sober Transitional Housing is here to help participants through those bumps.

Substance abuse is also a learned behavior. After a person has been through detox, the next step is to “unlearn” substance use and “relearn” how to live sober. The Sober Transitional Housing Program at Yellowhawk Tribal Health Center can help participants learn to take the small simple steps that lead to healthier long-term decisions and behaviors in a supportive community environment. The STH acts a supplement to an individual’s recovery. It is an alternative to going from an immersive care environment straight to a totally unstructured environment at home. Because sober living replicates normal, everyday life situations while instilling healthy habits, it helps to reduce the risk of relapse.

How Can We Help?

In the earliest days of sobriety it can be challenging when transitioning from the rehabilitation environment back to regular life. This is especially true after spending an extended period of time in a residential program, where the structure and constant support act as protective factors against relapse. Once the program is done, the individual is exposed to triggers or situations that can undermine their sobriety. This is where Yellowhawk’s Sober Transitional Housing (STH) can help.
