The details

Sobriety

At SSL we are dedicated to practicing the principles of recovery through an all-pathways approach; therefore, residents are expected to participate actively in recovery meetings and or be of service to the community through volunteer opportunities. At Sophrosyne we are not here to micromanage your recovery, it is our belief that everyone’s recovery is personal to them. Our program is based on accountability, therefore we suggest a meeting a day but understand everyone’s recovery looks a bit different. There are many elements to “working a program of recovery”, and as a client, you will be required to learn this process and follow the program to the best of your ability. All clients must attend the weekly in-house meeting.
