A Twelve Step Men's Sober House in Florence

The program is explicit about its method. Residents work the twelve steps with peer support, individual and group sessions, workshops and book studies, and they are pushed toward the local recovery community outside the house. The stated aim is moving a man from the problem to the solution, and the structure is assembled around each resident.

An Abstinence-Based Recovery Residence

The house does not accept medication-assisted treatment. That is a clear condition of entry, and a man stabilized on buprenorphine or methadone will need to look at houses in the Midlands or the Lowcountry that accept all forms. For a resident committed to an abstinence-based program, a household on the same terms is one less thing to negotiate.

Recovery Housing in Florence and the Pee Dee

Florence is the regional center for northeastern South Carolina, holding the county courthouse, the federal courthouse, MUSC Health Florence Medical Center, Francis Marion University and Florence Darlington Technical College. Interstates 95 and 20 meet here, which is why the medical, retail and logistics employment for a wide rural region concentrates in one city. A man leaving treatment in Marion, Dillon or Lake City generally finds Florence is the nearest address with all of it within reach.

What Certification Establishes for This Sober Living Home

Certification through the state affiliate commits the house to written fees and rules disclosed before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, a published code of ethics, and complaints reviewed outside the household. It also keeps the beds open to men referred by the courts, probation or a state agency.
