A Fresh Start Sober Living Environments

Got kicked out at 1040 at night for a false positive drug test. I spent the night on the street. I’m now at Recovery Road where house managers allow residents to go to the hospital to get urine tested if this happens. I live with two girls who also pop up positive. It happens more often than you’d think.

I lived in a Fresh Start Sober Living about three years ago. The homes are beautiful and the convenience and accessibility to downtown Chicago is amazing. It was very easy for me to find employment and I loved having a beautiful home to go back to every work. The structure is great but not overwhelming to the point where you feel like you have no freedom. Considering the location, I believe the pricing is MORE than fair and very reasonable especially since you can use public transportation with ease and save money on a car, gas, auto insurance etc. When I was there, the girls basically all did their own thing and there was not much drama. At the end of the day, if you truly want to get sober and are willing to do the work and work an honest program, Fresh Start will be there to support you all the way but it would be ridiculous to assume they do more work towards your recovery than you do. 10/10 would recommend A Fresh Start and honestly sometimes I wish I could go back just because it was beautiful housing and I loved being so close to the city.

These places can be risky. Everybody that move into one if these recovery homes is not seeking recovery. The issue of relapse is a pertinent one of discussion with management, as well as discussion on the safeguard in protecting residents who come motivated towards a life of total abstinence from all mood or mind altering substances. On the surface concepts of having homes geared toward rehabilitation presents a model approach, but the reality is is that an open and transparent account gives credence to not only creating a stable life for addicts but puts a community at ease as well.
