Sober Living Programs at Patrick’s House
The program promotes greater independence while maintaining accountability through 12 Step principles. Residents are encouraged to practice personal responsibility, build strong peer connections, and continue growing in their recovery.
While they do not offer detox or medication assisted treatment, they will help by providing you with referrals to community resources that can meet your needs. Patrick’s House serves as a second level of care for men who have completed at least three months at Michael’s House and shown consistent progress in inventory work, making amends, and advancing in their recovery.
Graduated Approach Strengthens Recovery
This graduated approach allows residents to strengthen the foundation developed in structured treatment while gaining increased self direction. Residents take part in ongoing therapy, support group meetings, and 12 step fellowship to remain accountable and reduce relapse risk.
Programs are individualized and generally last from 90 days to one year or longer. The focus is on developing practical sober living skills, achieving personal goals, and successfully reintegrating into the community. The home enforces a zero tolerance policy for substance use and expects residents to demonstrate responsible behavior in all areas of recovery.
