Sober living homes provide structured, drug- and alcohol-free living environments designed to support individuals in addiction recovery by offering accountability, community, and resources such as life skills training and coaching. Entera’s sober living homes in Palm Springs stand out by combining affordable luxury with flexibility and structure, including pet-friendly options, partnerships with outpatient treatment programs, and a strong alumni network for ongoing support after leaving. Our amenities—like yoga, meditation, gym access, nutritionist appointments, and community events—enhance residents’ well-being, while their commitment to whole-person care helps residents thrive beyond just maintaining sobriety.
If you are in addiction recovery, there are many advantages to staying in a sober living home. While they are similar to a typical living situation with roommates, sober living homes provide extra structure, guidance, and resources that can make a world of difference for those overcoming drug and alcohol abuse. So, what are sober living homes, exactly? Let’s discuss the definition and benefits of sober living homes, as well as what sets Entera’s residences apart from the rest.
What Are Sober Living Homes?
A sober living home is a dedicated drug and alcohol-free living space designed for people in addiction recovery. Each sober living home is unique, with varying rules, amenities, and private versus shared rooms (or a combination of both), among other potential dissimilarities. With this in mind, the sober living home you choose can have a significant impact on your experience. It can also affect how much support you have as you proceed in the addiction recovery process, as all sober living homes provide different resources (life skills training, coaching, etc). Ideally, clients should choose a sober living home that they will feel comfortable staying in for six months or more so that they can get the most out of it.
The Benefits of Sober Living Homes
The benefits of sober living homes are expansive. First, house rules (e.g., “all illicit substances are prohibited”) at sober living homes help you stay accountable for remaining drug and alcohol-free. Sober housing can help you prevent relapse for this reason and others (such as the services they may offer), leading to fewer mental and physical health consequences related to substances in the future. Many sober living homes facilitate an essential sense of community, which can make a world of difference in those healing from substance abuse.

Outpatient Program Partnerships
Many people who live in sober living homes have recently completed or are currently in an addiction treatment program. We have outpatient program partnerships in the area, which means that Entera can help individuals seeking outpatient treatment find care seamlessly if needed. This is common for new residents, especially those who have recently left inpatient drug and alcohol rehab.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is a sober living home right for me?
People with all types of substance use disorders can benefit from sober living homes. A sober living home may be right for you if you are in addiction recovery and do not need a higher level of care (such as an inpatient drug rehab program). Before you start living at Entera, we’ll go over all of our rules to ensure that you know whether our facilities are a good fit for you at this time.
What rules can I expect to follow at a sober living home?
It depends on where you stay. Entera has house rules designed to support your recovery and aid in life skill development, while providing you with the freedom you need to progress your independence at your current stage of recovery. For example, we have curfews (10 PM Sunday through Thursday and 12 AM Friday through Saturday) and require all guests to take care of their own dishes. Residents also have job assignments (e.g., house chores) that they must adhere to.
What are the different levels of recovery housing?
According to the National Alliance for Recovery Residences (NARR), there are four levels of recovery housing. These include Level I (Peer-Run), Level II (Monitored), Level III (Supervised), and Level IV (Clinical). Each level has distinct characteristics, such as varying services and staff member requirements. The level of recovery housing that is right for you will depend on your needs.
How long will I stay at a sober living home?
It depends. The length of your stay at a sober living home is largely up to you. However, based on research, it is recommended that individuals stay in sober housing for at least six months to support the most optimal outcomes. For example, stable residence (as opposed to earlier discontinuation) has been associated with fewer psychiatric symptoms.
How much does it cost to stay in a sober living home?
The cost of each sober living home will vary widely. At Entera, out-of-pocket costs are comparable to those of a typical rental agreement at an apartment complex in the area. However, many guests use insurance coverage, HSA/FSA, and other resources to help them cover sober housing at our facilities. You can verify your insurance coverage or discuss other payment options for sober housing at Entera by calling our toll-free admissions line.
