Question 1

What is sober living at The OverLove House?

Accepted Answer

Our sober living residences are fully remodeled, recovery-friendly homes where residents live together in a substance-free environment. Each home blends accountable daily structure with peer support, helping residents practice the routines and responsibilities of independent, sober living.

Question 2

Who is a good fit for sober living?

Accepted Answer

Sober living is ideal for individuals who have completed detox or a treatment program, or who need a stable, accountable environment to maintain their recovery. Residents should be committed to sobriety and willing to participate in house structure, peer support, and community expectations.

Question 3

What are the house rules and expectations?

Accepted Answer

Residents commit to maintaining sobriety with regular drug and alcohol testing, attending house meetings, keeping shared spaces clean, respecting curfew, and working toward employment, education, or volunteer goals. These expectations create the accountability that makes lasting recovery possible.

Question 4

How long can someone stay?

Accepted Answer

There is no fixed time limit. Residents stay as long as they need to build a stable foundation — many remain for several months to a year. We work with each resident on a personalized plan toward self-sufficiency.

Question 5

What is included in the residence?

Accepted Answer

Homes are furnished and comfortable, with shared living spaces, household essentials, and a recovery-focused community. Residents have access to peer support, house leadership, and connections to local employment, recovery meetings, and community resources.

Question 6

How do I reserve a bed or refer someone?

Accepted Answer

Contact our admissions team and we'll respond within 24 hours with current bed availability and next steps. Referral sources and families can reach us directly to coordinate a smooth, dignified intake.

Question 7

What is Intensive Outpatient Care (IOP)?

Accepted Answer

IOP is a structured clinical program that provides several hours of therapy per week across multiple days, without requiring residents to live on-site for treatment. It offers a higher level of support than standard outpatient care while allowing residents to keep working, parenting, and living in the community.

Question 8

How is IOP different from sober living?

Accepted Answer

Sober living provides a stable, accountable home environment, while IOP provides the clinical therapy and treatment. The two work hand in hand — many residents live in our sober living homes while attending IOP, combining a supportive home with evidence-informed care.

Question 9

What does the IOP program include?

Accepted Answer

Our IOP combines individual therapy, group therapy, an evidence-informed clinical curriculum, relapse-prevention planning, and life-skills training. We coordinate closely with community providers to ensure continuity of care.

Question 10

Who is IOP designed for?

Accepted Answer

IOP suits individuals who need meaningful clinical structure but do not require 24-hour medical supervision. It's a strong fit for those stepping down from residential treatment, or stepping up from standard outpatient care because they need more support.

Question 11

Will treatment be coordinated with my other providers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We coordinate with case managers, clinicians, and community providers to keep care aligned and transitions seamless — making us a dependable partner for referral sources.

Question 12

What are the Women & Children Programs?

Accepted Answer

These programs offer the same structured, accountable sober living as our other residences, but in homes reserved exclusively for women. Select homes are designed so that mothers can live and recover together with their children, keeping families intact during the recovery journey.

Question 13

Can mothers keep their children with them?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In our family-designated homes, mothers in recovery can live alongside their children. We prioritize generational healing by keeping families together while providing the structure, support, and resources needed for a safe, stable home.

Question 14

How is this different from standard sober living?

Accepted Answer

The structure, accountability, and peer support mirror our standard sober living — but the environment is exclusively for women, and select homes welcome children. Care is trauma-informed and gender-responsive, tailored to the unique needs of women and mothers in recovery.

Question 15

What support is available for mothers and families?

Accepted Answer

We provide family reunification support, parenting resources, childcare connections, and trauma-informed clinical care. Our goal is to help mothers rebuild stability and strengthen their relationships with their children.

Question 16

Is the environment safe for children?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Family homes include child-friendly spaces and are staffed to support a safe, nurturing environment. Every home maintains the accountability and substance-free standards central to recovery.

Question 17

How do I learn more or refer a mother in need?

Accepted Answer

Reach our admissions team and we'll respond within 24 hours with availability and next steps. We work confidentially with families and referral sources to coordinate a compassionate intake.
