Why Gender Specific Sober Living is Important

A good sober living home will be separated out by gender. The reason for this is that separating men and women, helps to remove the distractions that the opposite sex can bring, and help residents trying to get sober, to have time to focus on themselves and their program. It keeps the addict or alcoholic in the moment by getting rid of many of the distractions of social media, video games, and the competition that can lead to lying and manipulation of their family and friends.

Having a peer group that comes from a similar background, and hare struggling with the same issues of drug addiction and alcoholism, can be a huge bonding experience for residents, and helps to create positive and lasting friendships that are rooted in recovery.
