Family

Recovery from addiction and alcoholism isn’t easy. Many will struggle for some time before they find a sense of serenity with their recovery. Family members play a vital role in their loved one’s recovery development and growth. Edna’s strive to educate families on how to improve communication, avoid enabling behaviors, set and maintain healthy boundaries, identify the signs of risk and relapse, and know where to turn for help when their loved one is struggling. Positive, healthy family relationships take time to develop and this can begin to happen as the family gains an understanding of the disease in its’ many forms. Families need to discuss expectations and rules, to have an open dialogue to know how to support one another in a healthy way.

Edna’s will work with our clients and their families from the start. We will coach the family on how they can help their loved one, and in which ways they should not help so as not to enable their loved one further. We will coach our clients on healthy activities of daily living, self-care including good eating habits, responsibility and healthy choices in friendships. Often the side-effects of addiction and alcoholism will have legal, financial and health implications. We will work to help clients and their families find the resources they need to navigate these challenges.

Women’s Sober Living Benefits

Sober living homes provide structure. Many women in recovery feel alone and feel like the weight of sobriety is too much to bear alone. Sober living homes present an opportunity to discover how others deal with many of these same fears and feelings, and how those who have been sober for a long time continue to motivate themselves to stay clean and sober. Recovery never ends, and over time, stress can mount. Having others to hold onto is important to convince you to stay on the straight and narrow. One way to ensure that you’re always involved in recovery without constantly making things about yourself is to get involved in the recovery of others. Get active in local sobriety groups, keep the spirit of recovery alive by encouraging others to come together and help one another stay motivated.

Choosing Your Sober Homes West Palm Beach Facility

Structure: When seeking the best sober homes West Palm Beach, Florida rehabilitation centers structure is one of the most important factors. Choose a recovery residence with structure. This environment holds residents accountable for their actions and is necessary in early recovery. One key component of our rehabilitation program is to keep the clients on a regular schedule. Something as simple as waking up and having your bed made by 9 a.m. is an important start to building a healthy routine for life. Adding a daily chore assignment, allows individuals to be accountable for contributing to the overall ‘health’ of the house.

It should be required that all residents have a commitment of at least 30 hours each week to a job, school, out-patient treatment or volunteering, this Instills a sense of responsibility and helps the residents to become contributing members of society. A halfway house should also do random drug testing each week for their residents. And finally, the substance abuse treatment assistance program should have a recovery path it follows. We believe in the 12 Step modeled programs that provide a healthy foundation for those in early recovery. These 12 Step meetings are a key part of an individual’s daily work towards a long-term recovery path

Location and Cost: The lowest cost is not always the best place for you and your recovery. A sober home that charges a low price typically is not able to have experienced staff. The net result is a low level of accountability and supervision at the home. Recover residences with a low price point are often not well-maintained. And lastly, many of the bargain halfway houses choose to locate in ‘bad neighborhoods.’ Choosing this type of house location places their residents in an environment of drugs and other substances that need to be avoided during early recovery. Edna's works with many addiction treatment centers across the US. Our population has come from drug rehabs in Escondido, California to addiction treatment centers in West Palm Beach, Florida. Distance is not a factor when seeking the best sober homes and recovery residences.

Take a Tour: Choosing the best sober homes West Palm Beach or Palm Beach Gardens locations based upon a single telephone call is not advisable. Do your homework when searching for a sober living home. Continuing-care therapists from your drug rehabs West Palm Beach locations usually a good source for well-qualified homes. They can help steer you to the safest sober homes. These individuals have typically done a fair amount of research and established relationships with reputable sober living homes in the area. Ask ladies who “have what you want” if they could recommend any halfway houses then go and tour the recovery residence. Do not let yourself to be pressured during an initial phone call or tour. Use the initial call to simply gather needed information. Always have questions ready to be asked during your conversation. When possible, try to compare multiple sober homes before reaching a final decision.

Kitchen & Pantry: Choose a sober living home that has adequate kitchen space and appliances to prepare proper nutrition. Most addicts come into early sobriety malnourished. They usually have usually survived on a steady diet of fast food. Addiction recovery is about establishing new healthy habits. Nutrition needs to play an important role in an overall recovery program. The halfway house should have a kitchen and appliances in place that makes available space to prepare healthy meals for yourself.

Sharing meals with your housemates is an opportunity to share nutritional information and cooking techniques. this also helps build strong friendships. There should be an emphasis on understanding the role that a healthy mind and body play in early sobriety. Food serves as the fuel for the body and making wise meal choices can help to repair some of the damage that occurred during addiction.

Certified by State Organization: Choose a sober homes West Palm Beach facility that is a member of Florida Association of Recovery Residences. Edna's sober homes Palm Beach Gardens location is proud to be one of the few women's sober homes that are FARR certified. In order to be a certified home with FARR, a recovery residence must meet certain quality standards. The sober living home will undergo a rigorous inspection of all aspects of the business, insurances, including ethics and proper procedures, prior to being accepted into FARR. Other parts of the country have their own organizations to help maintain a higher level of quality of care for sober home residents. Be sure to ask what organizations they participate with in the community.

Recommendations: Choose a sober home in the west palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens areas getting references from other clients/families. What do past clients have to say about their experiences at the sober home? What do their loved ones have to say regarding their observations? Speaking with current or past clients is a great way to confirm the experiences of others during their stay. Be sure to have questions ready to ask the individuals when speaking with them. This is an extra step, but well worth the time invested to gather the necessary information for your decision.

Population/Single Gender: Choose a sober living home that is gender specific. Studies have shown that men and women experience addiction differently. This is one of the reasons we have one of Palm Beach Counties only women's sober homes that also help pregnant women. Each sex has their own specific reasons for turning to drugs and alcohol. Individuals in early recovery need to avoid any unnecessary distractions. Residents of a coed home tend to focus on members of the opposite sex as opposed to doing the necessary work for their own recovery. Relationships in the first year historically lead to relapse. Women with the women, men with the men is a healthy approach.

Location/Access to Meetings & Employment: We work with many centers across the nation like Harmony Grove Recovery drug rehabs San Diego. Location is not the #1 factor in determining a recovery residence. Chose a sober living home that is accessible to your life. Choosing a sober home that is accessible to shopping, employment, public transportation and meeting locations is important. Where are the meeting club houses or locations in proximity to the house? Where are their churches and places of worship in the area? And is the house located in proximity to the locations you travel to during any given week.
