Sober living search for 20 year old.
 

How do you go about finding sober living? For a 20 year old. So far the places I have spoken to don't take anyone under 21. Unless it's a high end country club type.

At 20 I was responsible for finding my own place to live and paying for it. I also worked, went to school and even managed to have a social life.

Sorry, no help here, our daughter's in-patient treatment placed her in her sober living place.

Usually the treatment center will have someone who offers help. If you don't have access to staff at a such a place, I'd just search and call as you find them. I know there are plenty that take people who are under 21. CA and MN is where I am most familiar, but there must be more than this! Good luck.

Has he looked into Oxford Houses? They are pretty much everywhere and I think their age threshold is 18 if I am not mistaken.
Give him this link, he can locate one nearby and also download the application
Oxford House

Try your local colleges. My sons college has a Students in Recovery group and a Recovery Resource Center, both of which recommended the sober living house which we selected. And for info, not everyone living in my sons sober living house attends college.

Refuser,
Generally the age cut off which I see is 18 rather than 21. That being said I would follow Carlotta's advice and google for Oxford House. There are hundreds if not thousands of Oxford Houses in the US -- even my tiny state of Delaware has 61 Oxford Houses spread among our 3 counties.

If you are looking to relocate - south east Florida is a great place to find sober living houses - try Delray Beach, West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale for starters.
