Simple dwellings (SLH), more commonly called simple homes and simple homes and less simple living environments , is a facility used by people recovering from substance abuse that serves as a temporary environment between rehabilitation and mainstream society. SLH grew out of the need to have a safe and supportive place where people can live while they are vulnerable in early recovery. They are primarily intended to provide housing for people who have just left the rehab (or recovery center) and need a structured and supportive abode for those in recovery. However, no need to come from rehab.

Description

Rumah Tinggal Sadar (SLH) is "an alcohol-free and medicinal environment for individuals trying to maintain abstinence from alcohol and drugs". Many of them are structured around a 12-step program and sound recovery methodology. Many are also certified or regulated by the Sober Living Coalitions or Networks. Citizens are often asked to participate in 12-step meetings, take drug tests and show clearly that they are taking important steps for long-term recovery. "Since there is no formal SLH monitoring that is not affiliated with the association or coalition, it is impossible to provide the right amount of SLH."

Rough living looks more detailed in the Sober House, spin off Celebrity Rehab, which documents Celebrity Rehab alumni as they enter the facility. VH1, which aired well shows, describes roughing it thus:

A simple home is a temporary step on the road to tranquility where people who are recovering from addiction can live in a supervised and calm environment with structures and rules, namely mandatory curfews, duties and therapeutic meetings. However, this can invite corruption when certain people who have never had an authority position before deciding to play God. In this event, celebrity addicts, most of whom have spent most of their lives in an addiction upheaval, will learn how to start their lives from scratch. In many cases, successfully maintaining calm requires patients to change everything about their previous lives when they are actively addicted to alcohol and other drugs. This can include changing jobs, eliminating friends and even leaving loved ones who are considered toxic to their tranquility.

The simplest life is not divided, although there are many. And some SLHs are Sober Colleges, which means they are only centered to help young people recover, and operate like quiet dormitories. A lot of quiet life is also an intensive care center; which means that they provide medical care on the spot. Often these homes are managed in turn by psychiatric nurses and licensed clinical social workers so residents can have 24-hour surveillance and centralized recovery treatments without cleaning or cooking pressure.

In some areas, simple homes have been linked to fraudulent insurance scams. This has driven billing proposals that will govern advertising and require registration for new homes.

2. Active participation in recovery meetings
3. Drug and random alcohol test
4. Paying guest fees on time
5. Good engagement in work, school, or outpatient program

Results

SLH has been shown to promote sustained recovery when used in conjunction with 12 step programs. Overall, experienced addiction care providers agree that staying in a quiet place/care after treatment can produce much better results. But one of the key factors relates to the level of structure. Housing that uses higher structural levels tends to see dramatically increased results in terms of long-term calmness.

In some cases, simple homes will contract with licensed drug rehab centers and therapists as a means of providing greater levels of care. These types of quiet lives tend to charge a higher cost, however, they can often provide a very affordable alternative to what would be a high-priced hospitalization.
