Why consider moving to a sober living home after treatment?

Transitioning to a sober living home after treatment can offer numerous benefits and support
your journey to sustained sobriety. Here are a few reasons why it might be a good idea:

  1. Structured Environment: Sober living homes provide a structured and supportive environment
    that helps you maintain the discipline you learned during treatment.
  2. Accountability: Living with others who are also committed to sobriety can create a sense of
    accountability, making it easier to stay on track.
  3. Peer Support: Sharing a living space with individuals who understand your experiences can
    be incredibly comforting and encouraging. You can share advice, stories, and strategies for
    maintaining sobriety.
  4. Gradual Transition: Moving directly from treatment back to everyday life can be
    overwhelming. Sober living homes offer a gradual transition, helping you adjust to daily
    responsibilities without the immediate pressures of outside temptations.
  5. Resources and Support: Many sober living homes provide resources like counseling, job
    placement assistance, and life skills training to help you rebuild your life.
  6. Safe and Substance-Free Environment: These homes ensure that you’re in a safe and
    substance-free environment, reducing the risk of relapse.

Overall, a sober living home can offer you a supportive community and the resources you need
to build a strong foundation for your new, sober life.

In 2026, the Zachary Horton Foundation will return to its core mission: expanding access to Sober Living Scholarships for individuals and families seeking safe, supportive recovery housing.

After thoughtful evaluation — and conversations with key partners — we will begin transitioning out of operating Zach’s House on Ellery so that we can provide more scholarships to more people across Fresno and the nation.

This shift allows us to reach more families, strengthen our educational programs, and increase impact where the need is greatest
