    A sober living home in Massachusetts is really like a halfway house, often referred to as an SLH. It is halfway between a rehab center for drugs or alcohol and living at home. Any specific rules and regulations must be followed by residents, such as attending required meetings and structured daily chores.

    Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient’s individual requirements.

    Treatment is just the first step to maintaining sobriety. After treatment, aftercare support at Caspar - Emergency Service and FirstStep Program helps the individual adjust to a life without substances. This support may involve a sober living home in or near Cambridge, MA, career counseling, or educational assistance. This is when a relapse prevention plan begins to take shape.
