The following two charts can help lay out the costs of living on your own or outside of recovery versus living in a sober home. If you’ve never added up what the true costs are you would probably never know that living in a sober home will not only give you a much better chance at recovering from alcohol addiction but it will cost about the same as if you lived in a house outside of recovery with three non-recovering roommates.
Once you add up the costs of living in a sober home versus living in other environments the decision is easy, especially when you consider that sober homes have a better recovery rate than most rehabilitation centers which typically cost over $20,000 a month.
