Sober Living America Spartanburg Men; Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Sober Living America Spartanburg is a group of certified sober living homes in Spartanburg, South Carolina, the seat of Spartanburg County. Four houses operate in the city, three for men and one serving men and women, under an operator offering same-day admission to people in northern South Carolina. Addresses are not published.

Transitional Housing and Career Development in One Program

These houses pair recovery housing with a work development program: career guidance, job readiness, on-the-job training and placement, with transportation provided to work and to appointments. In a county whose economy runs on manufacturing and distribution shifts that start before the buses do, transport is frequently the difference between keeping a job and losing one.

Sober Living Homes That Admit the Same Day

Same-day admission is the operator's defining commitment, and four houses in the city are what make it possible. Someone leaving detox, jail or a collapsing living situation can be housed that night, which is the point at which most people are lost.

A Six Phase Curriculum Across the Recovery Homes

Every resident works the organization's six phase curriculum, aimed at a personal recovery plan and the spiritual tools to sustain it. It runs identically in Spartanburg and Greenville, so a resident who moves between the two cities continues the same program with the same expectations.

Recovery Housing in Spartanburg County

Spartanburg is the county seat and the eastern anchor of the Upstate, with Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, Spartanburg Community College, Wofford and Converse, the county courthouse and the BMW and distribution corridor along Interstate 85. The recovery community here is substantial and the housing stock certified to serve it is not, which is why four houses under one operator carries weight locally.

What SCARR Certification Requires of These Sober Houses

Certification obliges the residences to disclose fees and rules in writing before move-in, keep a written relapse and discharge policy, work under a code of ethics, and accept complaints reviewed outside the household, and it keeps them eligible for court and state agency referrals.
