Anyone can open a sober living home for people in recovery. Unfortunately, sometimes these homes have low living standards and don’t provide the support for successful recovery. In this episode of Back Porch Chats, Vince and Jeanna talk to three women who are trying to change that.
Imagine a place where people in recovery find not just a roof over their heads but a genuine path to healing. That's what Haley Beason, Lisa Teggart, and Laurye Brunson are striving for in Alabama. In this episode of 'Back Porch Chats' from the Now Sober Podcast, Vince and Jeanna sit down with these three inspiring women who are leading the charge to elevate the standards of sober living homes through the Alabama Alliance for Recovery Residences (AARR).
Ever wondered what makes a sober living home truly supportive? The conversation kicks off with an exploration of what these homes should ideally offer and why certification is crucial. They highlight the risks posed by unregulated residences, which can sometimes do more harm than good. AARR's mission is to ensure that these homes adhere to strict standards, providing a safe and nurturing environment for those on their recovery journey. The episode doesn't shy away from discussing the tough issues either.
The impact of childhood abuse on addiction is laid bare, emphasizing the need for comprehensive support systems. The guests delve into the benefits of life skills training and occupational support, which are often overlooked but vital for long-term recovery. They also touch on the alarming rise of fentanyl and its devastating effects on those struggling with addiction. But it's not all about the challenges; there's a strong focus on community and connection.
The women stress the importance of ongoing support and referrals after treatment, underscoring how crucial it is to stay connected with others who understand the journey of recovery. If you're curious about how you can make a difference or simply want to understand more about the landscape of sober living homes in Alabama, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear how AARR is making waves and learn how you can get involved.
