The Sober Life

About The Sober Life

The Sober Life is a sober living operator in Great Falls, Montana, running a certified, peer-led recovery residence in Cascade County.

A Peer-Run Sober Living Operator

The Sober Life describes its work as run by people in recovery for people in recovery, which places it firmly in the peer-run tradition of sober housing, distinct from the clinically staffed model some operators use. A peer-run house is typically shaped by people who have lived through the same early recovery a new resident is facing.

An Activity-Based Model

The Sober Life organizes outdoor activity and group events as a core part of its approach to recovery, alongside the meetings and structure any sober house provides. That model appeals to a resident who wants sobriety to include an active life.

Certification and Montana's Registry Requirement

The Sober Life's housing is certified under Montana's voluntary framework and separately registered with the Department of Public Health and Human Services, meeting the state's 2023 mandatory recovery residence law in addition to holding certification.

Working From Great Falls

Cascade County's largest city gives The Sober Life access to the outpatient providers, employers and courts a resident coming out of treatment needs close by, along with the outdoor terrain along the Missouri River corridor its activity-based program draws on.

Reaching The Sober Life

Contact goes directly to the organization. Worth asking: how the peer structure is staffed day to day, what a typical week of programming looks like, and what the house expects during a relapse.
