For people who are recovering from addiction, a stay at a sober living home is necessary. Many skip this as they believe that the rehab and the detox has provided them with the necessary tools and training for them to stay strong. While you are free of the ill-effects of the drugs and alcohol, you are still susceptible to temptation. You can stay strong and free from all forms of temptation, only when you have mastered it. This requires a relatively longer time and you should be able to live in the outside world for a considerable duration to build the confidence. The rehab centers and detox centers are extremely controlled environments where there is no chance of temptation for you. So, don’t skip this and ruin your recovery. It could cause a relapse and lead you right back into the addiction.
