Yup...there are definitely different quality sober living homes just like there are different quality rehabs. It pays to research them out.
Wow...thinking you are going to a sober living and having an elderly alzheimers man whizzing in the corner...that's horrible!
In my husband's line of work (social work),he had a caseworker call him and say that a client living in a "safehouse" (which means they are a threat to themselves if not under constant supervision), was crapping in the wall. Yes, he was tearing out the drywall and crapping in there. The landlord just had a company come in and keep patching the wall up w/out cleaning it out b/c he did not want to lose his tenant....or his funds...if you know what I mean. So gross! By the time my husband was called to go over there he had to wear a resperator to go inside. Good times...good times.
And the complaint on the thread count of the jail pillowcase...bwaahhh!!! Hilarious.
