Sober Living America Inc

#Columbia - I have been in SLA's Greenville location and our Columbia location and I love it here. It has given me a safe place to live and they are getting me a fulltime job. Happy to be safe, sober, and healthy today.

#Columbia - I wish I had never left the first time I came. It's very home-like in the Columbia location and they have made me quite comfortable. I am grateful for the experience to be honest and I am speechless! Blessed to have sober living America in my life.

#Columbia - Sober Living America has given me an opportunity at a new start to a new life. I've been greeted with nothing but warm acceptance and I'm happy to be here. I hope to make the most of this experience and apply what I've learned for the rest of my life.

#Columbia - Sober Living America has been a great experience and I am thankful to be here at Columbia's location. I have a good job and work about 50 hours a week. I'm sober and grateful to be alive today. Great program.

#Columbia! – I’m currently a resident at SLA. My experience so far has been great. They took me in with nothing but the clothes on my back. I was fed, given a bed to sleep in, and I was loved when I hated myself. My 30 days is approaching and I am very grateful considering I could not string together 30 minutes on my own before I came here. SLA got me a job, transportation to that job, and keeps me accountable for my recovery every single day.

Very helpful when it came to my recovery and providing me the tools to be successful. They also assisted me with the food stamp process and made sure I was able to go to a food bank and start working as soon as possible.

Columbia - I have been to two of the Sober Living America Campuses. Columbia, SLA has been extremely welcoming and kind. All of the staff has been very helpful and I believe there is a great group of people here that will help me find my way back in Recovery again. I am extremely grateful for SLA.

I came to Sober Living of America broke and strung out. Now I'm on the right track.

This is a great program that's helping a lot of struggling addicts and alcoholics by providing the structure and discipline to help them get and stay sober. I have 2 sponsees in this program that I have the privilege of working with!

I came to Sober Living America's Columbia location a couple weeks ago. Everyone here is very cool and supportive. I have a full-time job now and am sober. Happy to be alive today and happy to be in Columbia.

#Columbia! I came to Sober Living America looking for a new start trying to get my life together. It has done wonders for me. The leadership here is amazing, everyone lifts each other up all the time and the people and staff here have made a huge difference. It has given me the tools to get and stay sober and learn how to live life on life's terms. The program has taught me so much. They really care about you and your sobriety and are so genuine. I have recommended this program to a few people who I know it has changed their lives as well. I highly recommend coming here if you are looking for a new way of life.

# Columbia!

Sober Living America has been a great experience and I am blessed to be at the Columbia location. My life changed when I came here and it provided me with stability. They hooked me up with a full time job and taught me how to live sober. I got back on my feet here.

#COLUMBIA

Really happy with how friendly everyone is at the Sober Living America Columbia location. The program basically saved my life at this point and I am grateful to be here. It works if you work it. Excited to see what God has in store for me.

#Columbia Sober living America in Columbia is keeping me strong and sober. I have a positive attitude and am blessed to be here. It is truly helping me!

#Columbia relocation has been a " GREAT EXPERIENCE" for me, my sobriety and beginning recovery. Since October 18,2018 my life has taken a upward and successful spiral. My life went from dead end to a new beginning. The opportunities that I have been giving when I thought all avenues were shutdown my "GOD MADE A WAY OUT OF NO WAY" and"TURNED MY DARK CLOUDS INTO DAYS". The staff that were here when I arrived were what I called a together "TEAM". After being here for 6months, completion followed by graduating and now currently on staff as GUEST SERVICES the opportunities that were given to me." I CAN NOW GIVE BACK TO OTHERS" because staff that we have created thus far is known as the "SQUAD".

#Columbia Sober living america has taught me many things about how to handle my drinking , and the thoughts im having about it in general. Im very thankfull for this program. It also helped me find God again in more ways than one. They helped me find a job and get me off the streets also. Wouldnt change this experience for the world. Thanks a million SLA.

Welcome to Sober Living America! Where we specialize in rehabilitating while integrating back into society. This program has been paramount in my path to recovery. I'm Brandon, and God used the "Pinnacle" program at Sober Living America to save my life. Given the severity of my situation, it was great to have the option of coming in the door and not working for the first 30 days. The counseling I received 3 times a week by a state certified drug and alcohol counselor was just a plus! I showed up to the Greyhound station in Atlanta, Ga on Halloween of 2018. I wasn't there 20 minutes and the program director of Atlanta Men's came walking up in a donkey costume calling my name. We hopped in the van and headed to my new apartment. I was jaded and confused about life, but my new brothers there taught me that I didn't have to live like that anymore. That was 10 months ago. Now I live at one of our locations in Columbia, SC and couldn't be happier. There's nothing like closing your eyes at night and knowing you are in the center of God's will for your life. I chose a life of service to others and to God and I wouldn't have been able to do that without Sober Living America. Today, I am sober and highly motivated. I see myself as a soldier on the front lines of the war against drugs and endless fight against alcoholism. We lead through the trenches out here and make the most out of life. Are you struggling with drugs and/or alcohol? Well then maybe you should give us a call @ Sober Living America. I shouldn't be here today to share my story, but here I sit. I owe it to Sober Living America and the amazing God I serve that broke the chains of addiction in my life. Call now and be blessed. The ball is in your court. 877-430-0086

No complaints I am just grateful that I found the last house on the block with the lights on. The staff here in College Park are loving and tolerant, but they are serious about there recovery. As in all residential programs there are going to be ups and downs, but if you focus on God and your Recovery everything else will fall in place. Ken is a great Director who is plugged into an extensive network of recovering addicts and alcoholics. Brie is the best driver in the world, Nicole is on point as the work aspect goes, and Lindsey is adamant about making sure everybody gets what they need to start "Living" again.

I am enjoying the recovery and my stay here in College Park. The staff have been very accommodating, and my needs are being met. I am learning that there is "Great Wisdom in the AA Big Book"

I am extremely grateful for SLA College Park, I came with literally nothing but the shirt on my back. Since I've been here I have been able to obtain my ID and Social Security card, and I will be working in the next day or two. I have also been introduced to Alcoholics Anonymous which I never new existed. I am now learning about why I am what I am. The Staff here is Wonderful.

Sober living America has given me a better chance in life. They have provided an extraordinarily key for me reaching the Authentic way of living a life. Through this program, I’m able to share with a community that understands and accept my flaws... I’m excited for the next steps and and With the God I know and love very much.. God will do just exactly what he said he will do... The best is yet to come!!!

I read a lot of reviews from other companies but Sober Living America great review stood out the most! I wasn't sure if i'm going to stay long with the program or not since this is my first time trying any program like SLA. However, after getting into the program, I can said that i'm going to stay longer. They have clean room for you, great staff and if you don't have a ride, they will drive you places. I would definitely recommended anyone who is thinking about joining a in-house program to help you stay sober.

SLA is a recovery program that works if you work it. I greatly recommend this program to anyone who is struggling with there addiction.

This program is helping to save my life. Before Coming here I was beaten broken and had nothing, and being here is helping me to build myself up, and rebuild my life.

Upon coming back to SLA Charlotte, I was previously a driver for them. Very reliable company. I've been sober from alcohol for over 10 months. I found a sponsor thanks to Danny Perkins (SLA staff member) and Ryan Attaway. I attend meetings when possible, unless I'm working. Thanks to SLA I was able to get plugged in, and worked the steps.

#SLA Columbia

when i first came here in November of 2018 i was depressed broken and i need of recovery..i was greeted with open arms not judged and was excepted and they staff of sla Columbia let me know there was a better way and that my life would change for the better if i just gave it the program a chance...so as desperate as i was i have worked the program and true to there words my life is slowly changing for the good thank god,,this program has helped me find myself and given me the tools to stay sober thank you sla....

#SLA Columbia

My experience here at SLA has been pretty good, I was able to grow a relationship with my son and stay clean and sober. I was able to get hired on fulltime at my job and save up for my future. This is the first time I been in a recovery program and want it to be my last so I wont be leaving until I know I'm ready to leave and live life on life terms.

#Columbia I owe a great deal of gratitude to SLA. they have really helped me to humble myself and to really understand what it is to be a productive citizen. i have come a long way and i have a brighter future ahead of me. Always remember that there is no right way to do the wrong thing.

#Columbia SLA,
To tell the truth, this location was my last choice and I had to physic myself to come here. My first couple of months was disturbing. But through good advice and building great relationships with people and being involved with church. I found the silver lining in it all and also realized that this is where God wanted me. Me personally would advise anyone wants to come to SLA , I would tell to come to Columbia , even though it isn't the prettiest place but there is recovery.

#SLA Columbia

My experience here was nice and the staff are awesome. i am grateful to be here and be clean and sober. i am thankful that i was able to come in with all my court order mandates. They were able to help me stay clean and sober and accountable

#SLA Columbia

I would kindly recommend Sober Living America to any one. Sober Living America is a recovery that is located in a very rare neighborhood which isn't a bad thing despite of your situation. In my experience, i believed i was ready for a new beginning and a new life. So i was ready to give it a try to. But I also realized this was the strongest thing i have ever done. So anybody is welcomed.

Sober Living America, College Park. Ken, Nicole, Lindsey & Brie are a great staff & easy to get along with.

Ive been here at the College Park campus now for 6 weeks. The staff are wonderful and genuinely care about the residents and have been very supportive to me personally. Im along way from home and Ken Nicole and Lindsey and Bree have made me feel welcome and have gone out of theyre way to make me feel as comfortable as possible. Thanks guys Illl never forget it.

I arrived at SLA 2 days ago and so far my experience here has been great. They welcomed me with open arms. I have been able to go get the things that I need with the help of the staff. I am now looking for a sponsor with the help of the staff. They make sure that I am making the meetings and that's something that I need in my life right now.

#SLA Columbia. My name is Valerie and I am a August 2019 graduate of Sober Living America's awesome program. I have been a round-the -clock drinker since 2010 and have attempted 5 treatment programs both inpatient and outpatient over the past 9 years. I am proud to say that I have been sober and thriving since my first day here and cant thank John and SLA enough for giving me and my family a new life.

When I came to Sober Living America (College Park) I was scared and nervous, I didn't know what I was getting myself into. All I knew was that I needed help and SLA seemed to be the place to get it. Since I have been here, I have learned a lot about the disease of addiction and how it affects the lives of those around me. I have a sponsor who is guiding me thru the steps and I'm beginning to establish a network. The Director Ken has helped me tremendously and the morning meetings that he runs has showed me that there is "Great Wisdom in the AA Big Book." I'm grateful for Sober Living America.

Sober Living America saved my life, the staff and residents make you feel at home. It's a great place to be here in College Park!

Hi my name is Brian, and I want to share my experience thus far. I enjoy what Sober Living America has help me accomplish since being here. I never though I'd be in any kind of AA, or NA group yet alone have a sponsor who helps me in recovery. With the help of staff here at Atlanta #2 I have been set up with the tools to stay clean and sober. Thanks staff for helping me out and taking me in off the streets with no money in my pocket. You still helped me anyway. I will be forever grateful!!!!

I have been at SLA Lawrenceville, GA city 2 for a little over two months. It is a great place if you are here to get sober and follow the rules. There is a weekly payment of $180 plus a $4 service charge. That is the first priority with SLA they will work with you the 1st 2 weeks until you get your 1st paycheck. They make sure you have a place to work and can make the weekly payment. Be ready to give everything you make except for $36 you get to keep for the week until you have got what they call a $0 balance which includes 1 extra week after that you can start to save a little. It only takes 5 to 6 weeks if you are working full time to accomplish this. Most guys here work at a chicken plant in north GA. During this time you are in a three bedroom apartment with 6 other guys and sometimes they will share food or on occasion SLA with take you to the food bank. They are a spiritual and AA based program and you go to an AA meeting everyday and church on Sunday unless you are working. There is weekly homework assignments that are very good and help you stay sober and work through the AA Big Book. The main program is designed to get your firmly set in a good sober routine and reconnect you spiritually with a higher power. It is designed as a six month program and you get a nice certificate of completion. Then there are other options you can get to to stay sober. As you show your commitment the staff will help you in anyway they can or are permitted. I am very pleased with my experience to date and through SLA i have got a 2nd chance on having a happy, productive, healthy life. Thank you to the staff, the upper executives and the guys that stay in the program with all of them this work / sober living program would not be what it is and be able to help so many.

Program is very respectful and staff is on point, pay is affordable for hard working individuals trying to better themselves

Avoid this Company at all COST! JIM D is the devil.
He has people in active addiction running communities.
Steve F is going to kill someone drunk driving. Atleast when he does this post will help shut sla down.
CASSY F DOGS THE ENTIRE COMPANY AND THEN SUCKS UP.
So many overdoses and noone investigates.
3 hangings is one year.
Farthest thing from a non profit.

I came into Sober Living America on June 25th. I am a Heroin Addict. I have never had any clean time before and wanted to try and get clean and sober. SLA gave me the tools to help me in my early recovery and continue to bring out the best in me every day. Sober Living America has truly given me a new lease on life! Thanks SLA!

I arrived at Sober Living America Atlanta in April of 2017. I was broken, busted, and disgusted. I had been living a life which caused me to hurt the ones that I love the most. I was given employment, transportation, and taken to meetings. They equipped me with the tolls I needed to begin my recovery. I would recommend SLA to anyone seeking a new way of life! Thank you SLA!

Columbia SLA-- My name is Shawna Snyder. I am a neighbor of the SLA here. I truly love having all of them here. I know most of them by name. The Director John is so sweet and kind. If the see me taking my garbage out they come and go let me get that for you. I have gotten to know all of them. They call me Momma Shawna as I am a momma bear to all of them. They all are super sweet. They make me feel safe when i am out walking. I truly admire them for what they are doing. Our building is a better place because of them. They all take the time to stop and say hi and ask me how I am doing or if everything is OK.

This program and the amazing people that run it saved my life...LITERALLY!! I battled alcoholism and addiction for 20 yrs. and this is where I found the ability to LIVE again...to LOVE again...myself and my fellow neighbor...I would highly recommend this program, and I have, to anyone that is struggling with addiction and can't seem to find their way...I thank God every single second of every single day for allowing me this opportunity...Thanks Wally Ahrem...Thanks Levi Jones...Thanks SLA!!!!

Sober Living America has saved my life in so many ways it's hard to even put into words how grateful I am for this program and the staff members especially the director Wally Ahrem and Lindsey guest services they have help me so much and are big key points to my life and my recovery. If it wasn't for this program I would be dead without a doubt.So I would like to thank Sober Living America and all the people that are part of it for helping me find a better way of life if it wasnt for the God of my understanding and this place I wouldn't know what to do with my life. Today I am happy and smiling again coming up on 3months sober thanks to SLA.

#SLA Columbia

I like SLA Columbia. The people here are so welcoming, kind, and generous. They helped me anyway they can. Helped me by giving me a place to lay my head, find a job, taking me to food bank, getting me clothes, giving me advice that i can either take or leave, and helping me along with my program. I am so glade that they took me in and accepted me in there community. They all treat me like I am their family. I thank GOD that there is a place that cares so much about people like me.

#SLA Columbia I have been at SLA 14days now it has taught me how to live and love again
no longer then i have been here it has changed my life i am grateful for SAL and everyone

Bobby Gainey

SLA Columbia...This is the best decision i have made in my life. Not only did i gain a new start i gain a new family. John has been this best he really cares about our life and recovery. Its been only 17 days and i can only imagine what is yet to come Thank you for helping m e to have a new life.

My road to recovery has overall been satisfactory. The program is definitely built on faith accompanied by a desire to become sober and to help others. I came to Sober Living America (SLA) in December of 2018, my family and friends could see a difference in my behavior and decision making. The support of the staff which includes the Directors, Guest Services, Work Development and Drivers assisted me tremendously during the process. I would recommend SLA to individuals that are seeking sobriety and would like to live a better life.

I am so grateful for my time at Sober Living America-Spartanburg II. The staff is super friendly and helpful and they truly care about me. The campus is very nice and clean.

I live at the Spartanburg, SC women’s campus of Sober Living America, and I have had a great experience. The staff is extremely welcoming, the facilities are clean, and the emphasis placed on 12 step recovery is exactly what I needed to build a network in AA and begin the process of recovery from my addiction.

I really like it here and really am thankful for everything that this company has done for me. the directer Wally is an awesome guy and easy to get along with and a good dude to have around. A down to earth guy who has your back. This place is a golden opportunity if you want and need the help, but only you has to want it. Take the chance and have them change your life for the better, you wont regret it.

SLA has been a gr8t experience for myself. Along wit the staff and director they helped me become a stronger minded individual with the confidence to regain self-control and be a functioning adult in society. I would suggest SLA to any and everybody looking or seeking help.

Since I took a stand in finding a new way of life instead of the living in the death of addiction . I am well pleased for the help of sober living of America in Macon, Ga. I have a grateful heart for the director and staff. I made a decision to call SLA. for help and I received everything that the staff said the would supply, I was give a job, clothing ,etc. Staffing is and has been a great support into my recovery as promise , except for my decision to complete all the curriculum that was give in Four phases. I will stand behind S.L.A program and all recovery.

I AM A GUEST HERE AT SOBER LIVING AMERICA AT THE ALL WOMEN ATLANTA CAMPUS IA M TRULY GRATEFUL TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COMING INTO THIS PLACE WITH NO MONEY AT ALL THEY HAVE ASSISTED ME IN DOING THINGS THAT I HAD LOST THE DESIRE TO DO FOR STARTERS TO LIVE I NOW DESIRE TO LIVE AND THAT IS A MIRACLE OF IT SELF THANK GOD FOR SLA.

I AM A GUEST AT SLA ATLANTA WOMEN LOCATION AND THIS FAMILY OF RECOVERING ADDICTS AND THIS ORGANIZATION HAVE SHOWN ME SO MUCH LOVE AND THE POWER OF HEALING. THEY HAVE SAVED MY LIFE.

Sober Living America is a God sent program. I came here to the College Park campus totally broken and I had almost given up on life itself. When I came here the staff welcomed me with open arms and I immediately felt at home. I was offered food and clothing before I was even in the system. The Director Kenneth Woods is loving, kind, and tolerant, but he also shows tough love and instills God and recovery in every conversation we have. All of the staff here truly cares about our recovery and our lives. This was the last house on the block with the lights on. And I'm glad I took the opportunity to come.

So when I came here to Sober living america a few days ago, I was so excited about recovery. It turns out that the staff was very helpful. I was able to go and apply for food stamps, and get some food from the food bank.I got a sponsor yesterday and I'm now ready to work the 12 steps of recovery. I couldn't thank SLA Atlanta 1 for all of the support that they have given me to make me feel comfortable in being here.

So when I came here to Sober living america a few days ago, I was so nervous to recovery. It turns out that the staff was very helpful.

I couldn't thank SLA Atlanta 1 for all of the support that they have given me.

Since being at Sober Living America I have had the best experience. everyone went above and beyond to welcome me in a time in my life when everything was overwhelming. The people at SLA, my roommates, our director here in Columbia, SC, have all become family! They have exceeded the expectations I had when coming into my first experience with getting sober. They have shown me this is much more than just staying clean, its gaining family, friends and more people than you can count to encourage you when you need support the most. I cant say enough how much SLA has impacted my life thus far and cant wait to see what will come next.

My name is Kevin Laufer and this is a review of my current stay at Sober Living America in Columbia, South Carolina. I want to start this by mentioning this program has absolutely saved my life. I was at a homeless shelter in downtown Columbia and had concerns about my abilities in staying sober. Ever since becoming a resident here my entire perspective on life has changed. I have a stable job, a comfortable living situation, and I am surrounded by people who truly care about the well being of other alcoholics and addicts. The staff here has been a blessing in terms of pushing residents towards the right direction we need. I finally have the accountability in my life I so desperately needed. The AA/NA meetings we attend are beyond beneficial and church on Sunday mornings are the highlight of my weeks. I am completely grateful for this program and would recommend entirely to anybody struggling with life issues in need of accountability.

I arrived yesterday to SLA in Spartanburg South Carolina. This seem like a great community. I am excited to get sober and get my life back on track!

SLA is a great place. The staff seem to really care.

Uninspirable, broken, and hurt...the Gremlins in my mind where causing me total chaos...i found myself with nothing left to manage in my life...with an ounce of hope Sober Living America helped me create opportunities and options...Step by Step....

I'm a recovering herion and meth addict. Sober Living of America in Spartanburg SC has changed my life. In a short 30 days of me being here, I'm finally getting my life back, AND IT FEELS SO GOOD. Anyone who is wanting a change for the better, needs to try this thing out. If you are willing to regularly participate and work with a sponsor on your twelve steps, there's not doubt that you will recover. Bayley Kappleman is our director and goes ABOVE and beyond to hold us accountable and push us towards our recovery. She is very caring, and lets us know that we are worth it. She's made a huge difference in my life. And in my recovery.

THANK GOD FOR SECOND CHANCES.
THANK GOD FOR RECOVERY!!

I am extremely grateful that SLA allow me to enter their recovery program. My social worker at the hospital was unable to find any recovery program that would allow receive any treatment. Due lack of health insurance and or money. SLA welcomed me in and met all my needs. Safe environment to recover from sustance abuse. They asssist with me getting 12 Step meetings daily. And placed me with full-time employment. I now have some hope and an oppportunity to create a life worth live. Thank you SAL. Brian ATL 2

my experience with the sober living America has been one of the most fantastic things that ever could have happened in my life it has changed my life it has given me hope and I encourage anyone with an addiction to give yourself a shot at a new beginning comes join us sober living America the staff here is wonderful, where can you go and get a job a place to stay and transportation just coming in the door, the program can give you a new beginning the choice is yours

I was literally at rock bottom when I made the call to Sober Living America. I wanted to go to sleep and never wake up. I had nothing. But I picked up the phone and they said "No money? No problem." My life has changed so much in the two months Ive been here. I have friends. I have a great job. But most importantly, i have hope. If you are struggling with addiction, do what I did and make the call.

I came to SLA CHARLOTTE 1 back in February. So far, it has been a great Life-changing experience getting back into society. The staff here is very helpful and are always there when I need them. I would recommend this program to anyone wanting and willing to stay sober and work this program.

Sober Living America- Spartanburg 2 Women's has been a true life saver for me. The staff here, Bayley, Mary, Dana, and Crystal have been so supportive and helpful on this journey. You can tell that the staff cares about all the residents! The apartments are very clean and I love the location.

SLA has changed my view of life especially staying clean and sober. I enjoy being around the fellowship as well as the staff. Since coming to SLA Canton I have accomplished many thing such as holding down employment. Learning to stay clean and sober and how to maintain my sobriety. I would highly recommend this place if you have been struggling with overcoming addiction. I thank SLA for allowing me to stay and help others.

SLA has given me the tools to claim my life back. This Program will always be a part of my recovery story. Thank you Sober Living America!!!

First of all this is NOT a non profit. This is a for-huge-profit company. They charge $800/month per person with about 8 people living in a small apartment thats maybe $1,000/month. Besides rent the only thing they pay gor is their gas money and the $100/week they pay their 3 staff members. They have people who havent finished the program running the program. At one of the locations the director stole everyones rent money and left and they are still making everyone pay that rent money again. A woman had a stroke and they left her on the floor for several hours. I have honestly never seen a place so bad. Do not donate money, they dont need it. They arent a nonprofit and this place deserves to be shut down.

I have been to many different rehabilitation programs over the course of 10 years and never have i stayed longer than a week. But I have finally found my place here at SLA Womens Center in Atlanta, a place where i feel comfortable and content for the first time in my life. I feel like i am finally on the road ro recovery and things are finally clicking for me here. The staff is great, they can be hard sometimes but they are serious about our recovery. I do feel like my life will be changed here at SLA. God is really moving here at Atlanta womens>

Since coming to SLA Atlanta Mens 1 I have learned that I need recovery in my life. With the help of the staff, I have a sponsor now to work the 12 steps with. They have taken me to the food bank and has found me employment. I never thought that they would be taking me to and from work. I came onto this program with no money down and they still took me and showed me that I'm worth my recovery. My purpose of coming here is to start my life over and get my live straight for my daughter. I want to be the father for her that she deserves.

A place that helped and gave me the tools to rebuild my broken life and to manage the unmanageable world I was living. A place were I learned how not to be a tornado in my own life and others life. A place were I found faith, peace and acceptance. A place were hope returned and place were Grace was given to Me. A place were I began a new journey and a new path to travel.

#SLA Columbia

Sober Living America is progressively changing my life in so many great ways! Since my admission, I have been able to begin finding myself again, who I am, what makes me happy, and I am regaining my independence! I had forgotten how great it feels to feel life and happiness inside me for way too long and I say that with very much joy. Life is so much better surrounded by so many positive, encouraging, and motivating people that put a smile on my face that stays there all day. I'm learning to love laughing again and looking forward to waking up to a new day every day. I have been blessed with a job that I really enjoy where my recovery is also #1. I am excited to see what the future holds for me but there's no rush because it's one day at a time and I am loving living in the moment. I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to be here and for the people that help make it happen!

Great group of people running the organization. This sober living is a great place for people to have just enough freedom to gain the confidence in themselves to complete their recovery.

Sober living america is awesome. There really helping me focus on my recovery from addiction. From the minute I got here everyone including staff has been welcoming and encouraging.

I’ve never been able to stay sober until I joined this awesome family of men and women at SLA aka sober living America. I was at the Charlotte 1 location where Shannon was my director, she was awesome including the rest of the staff. They were so warm and welcoming and really understood me and the trials of life all addicts go through. If it wasn’t for this program I wouldn’t be sober today. If your seeking recovery this is place for you.

I came to the Canton Sober Living America location from doing 14 &1/2 months in prison RSAT and scared to go back to where i grow up . Because i didn't want to go back to my old ways like I've done the other 3 times I got out of prison. So I came here from selling and doing drugs for over 30 yrs and to keep myself out of prison. So by coming to Sober Living America Canton GA I've got 17 months clean and have my family and kids back n my life that would not talk to me or trust me. but after 90 days of working this program and staying in my big book I've got my kids back in my life my parents are now talking and helping me out now in my life.. So this place has change my life in so many ways. The staff here are amazing especially Jordan he has helped me in so many ways and helps to keep me in my program as well as going through the big book with me.

SLA Greenville
Nikki was not only professional but friendly as well. She provided great services for SLA in regards to their guest services department. It was overall a good experience!

SLA Greenville is a great place with great staff. They care for the poor coming through the program and do all they can to help clients in their recovery!

My name is Ashley Cosby and I am a resident at SLA Greenville SC. we have a great staff and director. Also I'm really enjoying being here. The meetings are really helping Me. I'm really glad that I came here

My journey so far in sober living America has been great. Everyone is very welcoming including staff. They have helped me with everything I needed to get back on my feet. I am very grateful to be a part of this program and I don't feel alone in this world anymore.

Sober Living America is a JOKE! The staff make up fake email accounts and post phony reviews to get better ratings. There are 8 men crowded into every four bedroom apartment, and it is full of loud noisese, rude people and horrible smells. The staff constantly threaten residents, residents get into fights and the staff are two faced and sarcastic at best. Best of luck, but avoid if you can.

Staff is very helpful. They let me come in with nothing but still felt comfortable. Great community. Feels great to be around people who are going through what I have been through.

Sober Living America has opened my eyes to a new future that I didn't know was possible. When I was in active addiction I thought I was a waste of time and Sober Living America has shown me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I now have 110 days sober because of this amazing program

I'm a licensed drug Abuse counselor and I have never seen a worse excuse for a program this was just a giant work camp with transportation some staff means well big emphasis on some I would like to point not one of these facilities is NARR certified or a states equivalent to NARR certified which is right off the bat a major red flag if you work in this field after meeting some residents and staff from the program at meeting I also learned not a single staff member there is a certified counselor which is curious considering counseling is something they offer sad

I came to College Park SLA 2 days ago and I was nervous at 1st but now I'm starting to see that i just might have a chance at this recovery. Staff here helped me with food that they gave me out their own refrigerator just to make sure that I was not hungry. I was so overwhelmed by the act of kindness that the director did for me. Staff has a plan for me to get a sponsor, and start working soon. I'm trying to get clean and sober so I can regain the love from my child who's too young to understand why I'm an addict but being here and making meetings are helping me one day at a time.

I came to SLA a few days ago to College Park. I can see the environment here is welcoming. Staff has helped me with food and I'm going to get a job today with their help. They gave me sheets for my bed and take me ti and from meetings. I'm not used to this but they are working with me to help me get a sponsor to work the 12 steps. i've never been so ready to get started on my recovery.

I was down on my luck and needed a solid foundation to build on. I have a felony record and an eviction in my background. Its hard for me to do almost anything that requires a background check or credit check. Sober Living America has given me a new chance at life. They got me a job and I have a roof over my head even with all the problems with my past. I am grateful there is a place like this that gives people like me a second chance at life.

It's been a life changing experience of the promises of living a clean and righteous life,family restored, permanent job and having joy,peace and love in my heart.To God be the Glory

coming to sober living america was the hands down best choice i have ever made they have changed my life for the better i thought i would be a hopeless addict my whole life but the taught me that i dont have to live like that anymore i have learned how to be a productive member of society and how to do the next right thing i have become a person my family wants around and i have met people here that have become family i would recomend this program to anyone who has not been able to beat their addiction

I would recommend this program to anyone I knew struggling with addiction and alcoholism. The staff was very helpful in getting me settled in and went the extra mile to to help myself and the newcomers. The apartments are very clean and in nice neighborhoods so I felt comfortable from the start. They gave me transportation to and from work and meetings. I was able to get a sponsor right away. That with the tools this program provided me to get started in my recovery have changed my life in major ways.

This program has been nothing but a life changer for me. I was able to come in with no money, the staff helped get me a job right away, took me to get food stamps, and to the local food bank until I got back on my feet. They provide transportation to and from meetings which makes finding a sponsor and working the steps a whole lot easier when you are first getting started in your recovery.

I have had an absolutely wonderful experience with Sober Living America. They took me in without any money at all, which for most addicts like myself is crucial because I had no money and no more support from my family at that time. When I got to SLA, they took me to get food stamps, which I need very badly. They then took me to find employment, and they helped make it such an easy process. I started going to meetings and found a sponsor as well as a home group. I started working the steps like SLA and my sponsor highly recommended.

Me coming to sober living america College Park has been a rewarding experience for me. Making the decision was tough but the support that I have received so far is astonishing. They do Curriculum recovery assignments, take us to meetings, and help us get a sponsor. I came in with no food and until they could go to the food bank the staff made sure that I didn't go hungry by feeding me and offering me some food to take with me to my apartment. I just want to say thanks to the director Eryka for cooking last Sunday and all of the staff for helping me get back up on my feet.

So I've been here in College Park for a week now and things are starting to turn around for me. The staff has helped me with getting my Social Security Card, apply for food stamps, tomorrow we are going to see a doctor. I love the fact that the director makes sure that I make my meetings. It helps me become more responsible and fight for my recovery. I'm working on the 12 steps and building my relationship with my family and GOD. This is the best thing for for and I'm glad that I made the decision to come.

There's no doubt in my mind that SLA has saved my life. I've been a heroin addict for 17 years and by the grace of God I'm still alive. Sober Living is the only place that has accepted me for who I am and not what I have to offer. I couldn't ask for a better staff with Shannon, Frank, and Brian!! I love this place and for the first time in my life I can say I love myself!!

Great place. Understanding and are extremely willing to help people with there lives. Thanks to sla I'm learning how to transition myself and live a normal sober live

My boyfriend came into Sober Living America and works there at Marietta 1 and I have seen a complete change I can see he wants to change and its the Best Sober Living Place he has ever lived in and I am so Grateful to have my boyfriend back Thank you Sober Living America for all the HELP

My story had been full of broken promices and relapses ! I was High fuctioning as far as job and home life had been but, there was still clouded thoughts and would end up in places that would have if kept returning would soon have me drunk again ! I chose to live sober and knew that i was not ready to live by myself because of recurring thoughts and actions ! I chose Sober Living America because of the reconnection to the AA program and the structure of living in a sober community this is what I needed and is totally thankful for the chance to be accepted into the program ! I did what was asked and attended meetings and eventually moved to staff job and loves the ability to help others on their path to recovery !

Sober Living America in Jacksonville Florida has saved my life. This program is the best at what we do and are here to help anyone that is wanting a better life!

I struggled with alcoholism for years. I thought there was no hope left. Until I found Sober Living America. This place has truly changed my life. I have a new sense of purpose and confidence in my life. Very thankful a place like this exists and that I have found it.

Sober Living America Savannah GA

Sober Living America has changed my life. I came into the program broke and homeless. They never asked for any money upfront and helped me get a job and introduced me to AA.
This is community based recovery, teaching us about the 12 steps of Recovery. We pay our own way and learn how to reintegrate back into society. We attend meetings daily and go to church on Sunday. We even get to enjoy going to the beach on the weekends. The best part is I have my confidence back and I am reunited with family and loved ones. I have also made friends for life.

Apartments are very nice. Its a very clean environment. The staff members are nice and extremely helpful and knowledgeable about recovery. I am glad they took me in. I love to cook and cut hair and this facility allows me to do all that while I work on my recovery.

This is a place that truly cares. The staff here are very involved in the city and actually care about the needs of each resident. They provide work, food, clothing, transportation to and from work and meetings. They basically provide everything you need to survive and they make it so you can focus on your recovery. Thankful to be here.

Very thankful a place like this exists. They took me in with only the clothes on my back, no money and no food. They offer food donations, clothing donations and set you up with a job. Truly blessed to have found this place.

#Columbia Hello My fellow S.L.A members my name Is Markeith Griffin and I've been here since Febuary 15,2019 I was a lost soul seeking help to get my life back on track. And with that said I've been here 117 days and just received may 90 day clean & sober chip with many more to come by the grace of GOD and with the strength to actually work the program and put into action what you have learned in going to AA meetings and reading the BIG BOOK & THE 12 & 12,but most important thing is that you get a sponsor to help you with the steps and give you the proper help that's needed to obtain sobriety and to keep It. I'm gonna be short & sweet the program is a beautiful thing I'm so greatful for what it has done for me do close the door on the miracle before it happens. Keep coming back it works if you work it because your worth it! (BOOM)

#columbia...… my experience through SLA has not always been comfortable or easy, but without it I would be with zero doubts in jail or dead. The fact you can arrive with nothing and they help you with a job, housing, and a community of people willing to help you through means more than words can express. I may not have a lot still but I am able to pay my bills and start living "normal" again. For me being around a lot of people was extremely hard at first, but slowly I've been taught how to cope through and even become somewhat social again and realize how much better my life can be (and actually was before drugs and alcohol)when I can think and work with a clear mind and have the right tools to start with. I truly owe my new life to SLA.

#Columbia..... So, Long story short I've been to multiple sober living places the past 3 years. Known places like solutions, an turning points. Solutions just wasn't for me good place just not me. Turning points was a horrible experience and regretful. But when i walked into Sober Living America i was welcomed and showed love. Provided with hygiene, food, and even toilet paper. John took his time to know and understand and Karen i would consider to be someone i look up too. Out of my 3 years in just 1 week at SLA with this staff, and the great people in my apartment has really made such a tremendous difference and impact in my life more then any other program, Oxford House, and rehab. I am beyond grateful. SLA Sincerely gave me a born again life and Family. Specially want to thank John and Karen.

Employees in the call center were very helpful and the intake process was very smooth. Staff is helpful, understanding and willing to help newcomers acclimate to the new environment. AA meetings are readily available and transportation is always provided. There is plenty of camaraderie with fellow SLA members and it is a great support network. The program is willing and equipped to help anyone who is ready to get sober and stay sober.

My experience so far has been great. I arrived here at College Park SLA they have helped me with a job, helped obtain my ID, took me to meetings, help me apply for food stamps and the director has shared experience, strength and hope with me at times that I have felt bad and wanted to leave but I stayed because I know that I need recovery and I'm determined to achieve that goal. I would personally like to thank the staff for helping me towards that goal. they have been a great help for me to continue on the road of recovery.

I came to College Park a few days ago seeking recovery. I've never felt so welcomed in a place that I am new to. I was picked up from greyhound, they gave me something to eat, and provide transportation to the store, help me get get a job, and took me back and forth to meetings. The director spoke on things that I can relate to when she was teaching the early morning meeting. I feel that I can recover here.

They took me in when I had nothing to my name. Helped me get clothes, food, a job and my daily NA/AA meetings. Staff was very helpful in helping me get back on the right track.

SLA is a good place. I am thankful to be here. Ive learned to take my sobriety one day at a time and sober living america has taught me to do that. I have learned how to live with other guys and work on my recovery. they give me the support I need. I am still working on a lot of things, but today I know that I can turn to them for anything. Come here if you ever want to learn how to live again.

SLA was very helpful to my recovery. Very clean apartments and everyone there was helping each other. The staff were very helpful and supportive too. This place gave me an opportunity for another chance at living sober and staying sober.

Great place to get sober. Staff was very supportive and provided me with all of the tools I needed to be successful in my recovery.

SLA is the best program i have been to, they care about your real well being. I have never felt so at home and content until i got here at College Park.

I'm at the SLA Atlanta Women's campus and it's by far my favorite sober living. The women here have become like my family and I really like how they help you find a job and help with food and etc. Very caring place.

atlanta womans sla
is one of the best places ive seen and is so helpful and the meetings help so much

Very satisfied with this place as a whole. There are no other rehabs that give you this much recovery and provide everything they provide for the price. I am thankful a place like this exists.

I have had nothing short of a great experience here at SLA. The staff are very friendly and actually care. They have helped me so much throughout my recovery and the kind of treatment you get here is hands on and priceless.

I came in broken and empty. This program provided me a structure and a foundation to build upon. I found employment, got a sponsor, worked the steps, worked on SLA staff, had the opportunity to help others, and in turn it helped me. SLA is such an amazing organization that gave me and continues to give me hope through guiding me in my day to day activities whether it be in meetings, stepwork, curriculum, work, or fellowship. I've had the opportunity to travel to and live in several different cities and now have settled I. Greenville, SC. I love SLA and hope you will reach out if you are looking for a way out of the stronghold of active addiction.

I am in the SLA at Columbia, SC. I have only been here for a week or so now and in my eyes at this moment it is exactly where i needed to be. Around other people who want to support my future instead of put me back down. I need it to get my life on track and once on track to get it started and that is exactly what I see happening in my eyes right now. I am working on all the guidelines and whatnot now and these steps and this transition and being away from everything negative and becoming positive is great.

My name is Taylor, I came to Columbia SLA and was welcomed with open arms. After being here for a few days I realized how much recovery was really here. People are really into their program and are extremely helpful. The women here have helped me so much. The staff is amazing and are always there when you need them. They work very hard to keep this place up and make sure the residents are taken care of. When I first came in I was very uneasy about being in a new environment but now I absolutely love it here. I got a sponsor and got into my program which is helping so much. I cant wait to see what the future has in store for me and I'm so excited about working this program and finding myself again. This place has given me the tools I need to be sober and stay sober and for that I will forever be grateful. I recommend anyone wanting to get sober and change their life to give SLA in Columbia a try. There is so much recovery here and it is a great place to have a fresh start.

WOW! Where do I begin. Sober Living America has changed my life for the better. This program literally saved my life. I came into the program as a crystal meth and heroin addict completely out of control without boundaries and structure. Seemingly, I thought my life was successful and progressing based on my economic and social status. Working for a fortune 500 company over the past 17 years within senior leadership I thought my life was in complete control as a functioning addict. However, my life was spinning out of control by the minute. I desperately needed help with regaining my core values and a new way of thinking. When I arrived at Sober Living America the love and non-judgemental community allowed me to process how I got into my "stinking thinking" which lead into the out of control behavior. This behavior allowed me to stretch my addiction boundaries beyond measure. Sober Living America (SLA), provided a clear direction of thinking through resources, structure, and accountability. I will forever be grateful for what Sober Living America has done for me! It has changed my outlook of life and giving back to the community which saved my life!

Thank you SLA (Sober Living America) for being a tool in which God used to save my life.

Sincerely,

Michael A. Hines

Sober Living America has change my life and has brought me and my family closer then ever since fight this battle against addiction they taught me how to get a Network of guys that keep me accountable and I can say that are true friends that are there and just not say there here for me also showed me how to humble myself and ask for the nasty word help

This program is amazing. It's helped me in so many ways . The guys here are cool and I feel comfortable. I'm on my way to a great life and it's all thanks to sla . Thank you!

Sober living america Atlanta men campus has helped me in so many ways. They have taken me to the food bank, got my Social Security Card, and they are helping me get a job. I'm ready to start this recovery process, I can't wait to graduate.

I came to the Atlanta men campus for two days now. The staff was so helpful with taking me around to get the things that I need so I can began working. I met a lady named Eryka who taught the morning meeting and the words she was saying moved me. I have felt welcome so far. They took me to the food bank so that I can have something to eat. This program is wonderful thus far and I'm glad that I came into the program.

When I got to SLA I was broken, hopeless, and suicidal. I had nothing to live for I was so caught up in drugs and alcohol that I didnt have anyone in my life that I could count on. I had forgotten what it was like to be a normal person. When I got to SLA I had nothing but a backpack full of dirty clothes. Since I've been here SLA has connected me to the 12 steps of recovery and God as I understand him. Now I have my family in my life and because of this glorious recovery I found out I have a son. I now have a job working with other addicts and I get the chance to help them recovery as I have. I have real friends and not people that only know me when I have something to offer them. I would recommend this program to anyone that is actively struggling in addiction!

I have been here for only one week, and my experience has been quite a positive one. The support from staff has helped me, as I believe that they really care about who they serve. Although they have to make hard decisions, like a few people were accused of braking and entering into other peoples apartments. And it was just hear say and there was evidence, they had to make the decision for the best of the group and kicked them out. Another thing is they make sure you are going to meetings and are understanding if you miss a few, as one the staff members, Colby, discussed with me; It is important to make it to meetings but we are humans and make mistakes, its what you do with this time that matters. I have enjoyed going to the meetings we have daily, and it is a good environment to be in. Yes its no luxury hotel, it shouldn't be, but its home. With fellow peers they are welcoming, they are here for the same thing you are, some might not be, and they are usually kicked out; for using or being disobedient to the simple rules they clearly told us during the intake. They also give us a packet with the rules. They have also during the meetings we hold in the morning and afternoon reminded us that if we don't have a schedule, or black binder in their room come and get it. There is no conflict within staff, and they all respect one another. They also don't get too hard on you with money they will remind you and give you a date which they want to be paid which is reasonable; if you miss this date they will unfortunately have to discharge you. As I was saying about the rooms, they are as clean as you allow them to be; It is your home and you treat it the way you do, some people don't clean or neglectful of certain duties they have to do. So their apartments have bug problems, I don't blame the staff for this, its each individuals responsibilities to keep the apartment up to keep. As for communication between boys and females they want you to focus on recovery and not relationships. So their rules are such to where they hopefully have you focus on recovery then woman. They also talk to make sure you have a sponsor and such, like I stated before, to me it seems they are here to help you in recovery. Thank you SLA for showing me welcoming arms and helping heads for our recovery, - Addict Alexei Schaefer

College Park has been a true blessing. This place has helped me and completely changed my life in a lot of different areas. Strength hope and lots of love is in this program! So if you're suffering & struggling with addiction we are here to help!!!!

I have been to many programs in my life. Not one of them compares to this one. They provide you with work, food stamps, transportation to and from work and AA NA meetings. The staff here are very understanding and friendly. The apartments are clean and bug free. Highly recommend.

I came here fresh out of jail with only the clothes on my back. After being here for 1 month...I now have a full-time job and food stamps. They have really helped me get back on my feet.

Sober Living America Marietta. Has got me plugged into a sober network. Has showed me a new way of living being sober, and not having to pick up that drink. Also brought me closer to my love ones by making this huge step in my life. Thank You.

I'm Kit and I'm an alcoholic. I've been at Sober Living of America Atlanta since 2/18/19. When I got here, I was introduced to Richie Paolone, Dirk Hudson and Scott Pierce initially. Between the three I was introduced to a Program that is hands down one of the best I've heard of or seen. The emphasis on Sobriety is truly conveyed in this Program, AA/NA Meetings onsite and offsite(awesome), getting a job with transportation to and from, Food Bank, Clothes Closet, WalMart, Church, Doctors at Mercy Hospital and more, on top of that staying SOBER. SLA Atlanta has a very Professional Staff that is full of love, generosity , care and more for every Resident that comes through that office. My Thanks go out to Richie, Rusty, Scott and Colby for playing a huge roll in keeping me SOBER to this day and the inspiration to stay SOBER! I also want to Thank Cassie who has been instrumental in keeping the Staff on Point by directing them to being caring, efficient and most of all dedicated to help keeping me and the other residents SOBER! She's Wonderful! SLA Atlanta, you can't go wrong!

College Park campus has been a God send and life saver for me. I had nowhere else to go, and nobody else to turn to. The people at this campus are more than motivating, they are an inspiration for me to work harder and be better in life. The staff are angels in disguise, Katarina met me with not only an open mind, but an open heart. Kens positive attitude, professional demeanor, and love for life helps me strive to stay focused, so one day i can possibly help people the way SLA has helped me.

I am an Addict/Alcoholic and I was transported here from Laurel Wood. The program is Sober Living of Atlanta. The women here are my family today . Each have knowledge of what I have been through. I've got a sponsor Cori from the 5th group. I thought I could do it on my own. The meetings I have been to the past few days have instilled in me that Im powerless and need a network. So far I know I am Meant to be here by the grace of God. My Director Erica and the staff have welcomed me with love and open arms.

Sober living America, I think is a great program so far i'm pleased with the program and the staff here at Marietta one and it is all thanks to this program and the network work - fellow ship coming here has really give me hope in recovery.

Sober Living America Savannah has changed my life more than i could imagine. The day i arrived i was scared and lost. Now 52 days in the program and 58 days of sobriety, i have a new outlook on life. If it hadn't been for the caring support of the staff and other residents, I don't know where i would be at. In closing i am so grateful that I found sober living america.

Sober Living America Savannah has helped me more than I could have ever imagined! When I first came in I was past broken, scared and didn’t think I had any hope left. The day I got there I was introduced to the AA program and I was surrounded by so many people that instantly made me feel like I had a purpose and I was cared for. Here I am 3 months later still in the program, learning so much about myself and have a completely different outlook on life. I have hope, faith, and I know I have potential. Sometimes we get lost in this journey of life but SLA has definitely helped me get back on track to be the best person I could be.

well sober really change my life my life was totally unmanageable until I came here plus the director Richie is a good his really doing his best and to anyone who want to come to the atlanta campus

sober living is AWESOME it changed my life. its a great place to get clean and sober and it helped me build structure and get my money right.

I am so in awe and i envy the director and the employees that we have here in College Park. To this group of employees and residents, there is but one purpose and that is to recovery and service work. However, they show you love til you can learn to love your self. They were very accepting of where i was at the moment, not for my past, but for me for me and for right were i was and bout the solution. They are very supporting caring loving people here and no judgement anywhere. I love SLA. Recovery works if you work a very honest program.

My experience here with atlanta women SLA has been great. I love the ladies here in the community. They are so nice. They helped me apply for food stamps, and get clothes and take me to and from meetings. The staff here has treated me so nice since I've been here. I just got a sponsor who is going to help me get a AA big book. I looking forward to changing my life around for the better

Sober Living America is amazing!!!! I'm new here and was quite nervous when I first got here. The Atlanta women staff treated me as if I was at home. I love the meetings that they go to. It allows me to open up and come out of my shell. They took me to get food, ID, and clothes. I now have a sponsor, a Big Book and I'm working the step on recovery

My stay with sober living is great the staff is friendly yet professional I am a recovering addict I feel sober living gives you free will just like God if you really want to change your life at sober living you can -Atlanta Women’s SLA

When i arrived at Sober Living of America i was in the depths of Heroin addiction. It was all i had ever known at the age of 25. But, I have now been in SlA for almost a year and have learned a new way to live. I have been to other programs and none of them were able to do the things for me that sober living america done for me in a very short time. The staff members genuinely care about your quality of life, which is something that i had never once found before in other treatment programs. I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking help with addiction. The quality of the facilities, the vehicles they use to transport you are astounding as well for what this place is. They ask for nothing in return for their kind work and dedication to each of the residents.

I am so thankful for not just the program, but the staff as well at SLA. They have time and time again helped save my life. I am at the Birmingham location and they are one big happy family here they have shown how much fun recovery is and just how easy it is with the right leadership and community...…..#BAE

Had an awesome experience with this program it gave me my life back I now have almost 3 years off alcohol and drugs due to this and it aiding me in getting connected with a 12 step fellowship the staff was more than helpful at all times they really cared about me which was a nice change of pace as i had alienated pretty much everyone in my life I highly recommend if you have an alcohol or drug problem to try this program

Staff here are friendly good people who care about your sobriety and recovery. They will put you into a job and set you up with food stamps if you dont already have them. All you need to come in here are the clothes on your back. Over time you will get your life back through this program.

I was able to come here with no money and no health insurance. They started me off with a place to stay, a job to work and transportation to and from meetings and work. They give you everything you need to live a stable life so you can work on your recovery.

I came to sober living broken an didn't know how to love myself an fighting this addiction. When I walked in the door I felt so much love an the women of SLA atlanta took me under there wings. SLA has taught me how to surrender my will to god an to know that I have to never pick up again .I have grown so much since being here an I love giving away what I have been taught .I love the fact that SLA put action behind there mission a also every one works the program. Im grateful that they allowed me to become apart of their staff .It has helped me stay clean an helped me build a great realationship with god. Im very grateful for them an I love what the give to the world.

This place is amazing for recover they help you in ever aspect of life if you want recovery atlanta sla is where it at Meetings and staff are wonderful, Thanks for saving my life.

At this point in my life I give much gratitude to all in general who is involved in Sober Living America here in Canton; this program has taught me many valuable life lessons, and a way of better thinking. When I first came here I was in a bad state of mind, and at a point of serious struggle in my life. Now i have developed a new view and a better since of direction. The staff here in Canton have helped me gain shelter, employment, and to coming super close to obtaining my short term goal of getting my license back. Once I stabilize my self I will reach out to help others Thank You SLA.

When I came to Sober Living America in Marietta, Ga in May of 2017, I was broken, my addiction took control of my life and I felt that I had no purpose in life. I was welcomed with open arms and staff really helped me make a full-change. I started volunteering for Sober Living America to help others overcome their alcoholism and addiction. Almost two years later at Sober Living America I have a huge network, who I considered my family and I believe in a higher power greater than myself. I am now the Director of Sober Living America at Jacksonville, Florida and I would not change it for the world. Don't quit before the miracle happens.

Sober Living of America saved my life. They gave me the chance to reintroduce myself into society and teach me the responsibility that comes along with being a responsible adult which I haven't had to do in a while. I've been in the program now for close to four months now and can tell a difference in my self-esteem and overall being. Its done more than just keep me sober. I've learned characteristics about myself and internal problems that led me to use in the first. Thank you Sober Living of America.

Shout out to SLA COLLEGE PARK FOR HELPING ME THROUGH MY PROCESS OF RECOVERY FOR THE YEAR OF 2019 THE HELP THAT HAS BEEN GIVING TO ME IS GREAT IT HAS TRULY GAVE ME A SENSE OF DIGNITY.

My stay so far at sla has been great. They are very understanding here. They help you to get jobs. And they are great as far as helping with your recovery. We attend many meetings a week. We get a sponer n work the 12 steps. Your recovery is number 1. Sla is a great place to come if you want to get your life together and back on track. The director scott does a amazing job helping guide us and keep us accountable

Hi my name is Sam Ray. I came to Sober Living of America in August 17th of 2018. I was at my rock bottom this place showed me a new way of life. this place saved my life and I would tell more people about this place. I am now at SLA Linthonia Georgia.

Thank You SLA Linthonia

I just arrived here in Atlanta at Sober living America. I'm at the women's campus. It was amazing how these ladies welcomed me to the facility. They helped me get a sponsor, and a big Book, took me to get food from the food bank, to the doctor,and got me a job. I'm happier than I've ever been. Getting clean was the best thing for me and I'm glad that this program working for me. All other programs have failed but this one is working. I'm glad I'm here.

I have had an amazing experience since I've been here at Atlanta women. These are a good group of ladies an I'm so glad I made the right choice to come here. The staff is super friendly and offered me food and water my first day here. I'm hoping to graduate the 6 month program here. I love the meetings. They have a variety of meetings to go to.

I'm currently at the SLA Greenville, SC campus and just a couple days shy of my 30 days clean date; which was impossible without God and SLA. When I arrived at this campus I was completely broken and had hit rock bottom in every aspect of my life...the staff and residents welcomed me with open arms and smiles. They encouraged, supported, and loved me, until I was strong enough to love myself. I am extremely grateful for SLA and the chance for a better life, which would not have been possible without them.

As the parent of a former staff member I can't stress how disappointed I am in this program.
After two years of" Volunteer Labor", SLA had her running programs all over a three state region with no experience or time for the desperate therapy she needed.
When she became ill with pneumonia, she was scared she would be removed from her position, so she started self medicating, throwing herself into a terrible relapse.
She was indeed,told she had 24 hours to leave the program. Putting her out on the street in Birmingham. Very ill.Having lost 24 pounds in three weeks. There solutions to get her home was a 12 hour bus ride home. Fortunately I was able to borrow a car and make the trip from SC to Birmingham to pick her up.
When I arrived I found her sitting on her luggage outside of the apartment complex waiting to be picked up.
Only one young man offered to help load the car.
She was on staff, and the owner of the program knew how she was declining in health and at risk of losing her sobriety.
Haven't heard a word of concern from any of her coworkers.
Today she is fighting for her life and we are right back where she started out when she arrived at SLA, only she has lost another two and a half years of her life. The loss of another two years of being able to be a part of her young childrens milestones.
And she is once again fighting for the strength to rebuild her health and sobriety.
She will now need long term inpatient treatment...
Her young children will not have their mother with them for another two years.
Pick you treatment centers very carefully. This one is all about filling the beds and adding money in the owners pockets.

I like college Park,the director is a good guy will to help out any way he can. Good staff 90 % of the people are friendly. Every one looks out for each other and encourages them to stay track and stay clean.

My name is Courtney. I'm at Sober Living America in Canton GA. I'm so glad I got to come to SLA all the people here are amazing and the program is awesome. They have literally saved my life and changed me for the better. If you are looking for a place that will help you turn your life around, look no further.

I have been in the program for a few days. The staff and the people here are friendly and they actually care about people getting better. They have already set me up with a job. I feel like I am in the right place.

The Marietta Location of Sober Living America Helped me when I was really in need of a place to go. I am glad that they did not give up on me here and that I was able to come back when I had messed up because many places kick people out and I don't think if I was able to come back I would be in a better position. Today I am doing well and I am happy that I don't have to use drugs.

while here at SLA. I was able to get connected with aa and na meetings,get a sponsor and work the 12 steps of the program. SLA got me connected with a job and upon my completion of the program I reconnected with my field of work and became an independent living recipient. so within the next few months I will possibly be moving into my own place and continue to be a strong part of SLA to let the new comers know that it can be done.

Thankful for a program that accepts you for who you Are. They give you the tools you need to become a productive member of society, and to live a clean and sober life. The staff here is amazing! Rebecca, Shannon, Bart, Louie, and Tripp do an excellent job, and truly genuinely care about each and every one of us! Thank you sober living of America!

Sober living of America is a great program. They were willing to give me a chance at life and then also a second chance. I am very grateful for the staff and all the help and support they have given me. I am currently a participant in the pinnacle program. Without being enrolled in this program I would have never talked about myself or my problems with ANYONE. I talk to a therapist three times a week. Speaking with my therapist has really helped me with feeling okay with myself. We have successfully identified my character defects and are working daily on fixing said character defects.

Hello ALL,

I am currently in a residential treatment program and will be graduating in February. After having searched endlessly to find a sober living facility for women, I found Sober Living America. I am very interested in the program and like what I have seen on the website and this review board. After talking with a representative from SLA, I was eager to get the ball rolling.

However, a staff member at the facility I am currently in had previously been at both the Atlanta and Alabama location (in 2015 though, for perspective purposes) and complained of both staff and clients using on premises without consequences. Needless to say, I am very apprehensive now.

I have done a good deal of research but I know the people that can give me the most credible and accurate feedback are those who are currently in the program. So, I am writing to ask that ANYONE from ANY CAMPUS call me, please, and tell me your experiences with SLA. My number is 928-910-5291 and I would really appreciate you reaching out to me to help.

I am at sober living in Lawrenceville, GA and I am comfortable and enjoying living sober. I am grateful for the program.

I have been here at Atlanta women since 12/10/18. One my first day staff helped me get a sponsor so I could work my steps in the program. The director Eryka is amazing at what she does and how she leads her staff. We have such a close bond and have become like family to each other. I have tried so many other ways but Sober Living America has done what all of the other places I've been has tried to do and that is to keep me clean and sober, wanting more out of life than using drugs and alcohol. Since being here my family back home has come around to see my success and it makes me so proud to be here at Atlanta Women facility.

Sober living America is a great place to stay sober. They set you up with food stamps, food donations and work. They are baes off the 12 step program of AA. They have a great staff and are full of knowledge for recovery. No money up front and no health insurance needed.

Thankful for a program that offer services like this for no money and no insurance up front. Especially considering how much they provide you with. This place helped my sister in her time of need when nobody else could.

They provide you with all the necessities you need to survive and they give you the tools you need to stay sober. Great place to be.

I was welcomed with opened arms, With no money knowing I had no money. They put me to work within a week. In 5 weeks I was at a true zero. I have a good roommate and I get along with my house senior. I have had no confrontations with no one.

SLA has been a great experience for me. They have shown me how it is possible to live a happy life sober. I strongly recommend this program to anyone who thinks they can not get out of the loop of drugs and alcohol. It is possible! Falling down is a part of life, getting up is living...

I had a conversation with Ms. Annie regarding her disrespect and derogatory language towards residents. I informed her that no matter what the color of the person is they all deserve respect. I told her that this is her last warning, Discrimination use of derogatory language and disrespect to the residents will not be tolerated and if it happens again, she will be invited to leave. She stated that this will not happen again so she knows the consequences if it does.

I must say, SLA in SC, Columbia has been amazing. Thur out my stay I have been safe, sheltered and extremely happy with the housing, clients, and staff. The staff takes my sobriety recovery very very serious. I am tested often and evaluated often to make sure that I am taking my sobriety seriously. For there are millions of others that could have my spot if I don't. Sometimes I am not sure how I could clothe myself if I was not able to be provided transportation and a job to help me thru. The facility is kept clean and monitored daily for safety purposes, and I am grateful for that. Overall I am very pleased with SLA of Columbia in SC and so thankful that I have been chosen to be here. Staff is great and the facility is amazing. Thank you, SLA for helping me to redeem myself and life. I could not have made a better choice.

When i arrived at sober living america i was greeted by the director Scott which i knew from a program before. To see the difference in him and the love he shows for the clients in the program is truly amazing. I am in the pinnacle program which is a 30 day program that consists of meetings, therapy, and close brotherhood with other clients. I finally feel like i belong somewhere and am welcomed and loved by the staff and other clients. I came in broken with no hope or motivation to do anything, and with the help of the staff and other clients I finally have hope and that i can get and stay sober and have a good successful life.

I came into Sober Living America at the end of April, 2018. I have been to many sober living communities throughout my life and I can say with absolute certainty that SLA is the best, most recovery-oriented program I have been experienced. At all of my extended stays in rehab I have been catered to and enabled the entire time; However, SLA instead gave me the tools and opportunities to take responsibility for own life and recovery. A strong, structured program that is always willing to help when I need it instead of when I want it is exactly what I needed to finally get my life straight and I will appreciate it for the rest of my time on Earth. Thank you SLA, Cassie, Berkley and Ken for giving my mother her son back.

My name is Derek. I was hopelessly addicted to all sorts of drugs and alcohol. I lost my life to alcohol and drugs. For nearly 30 years, drugs controlled my life. I would simply do just about anything to get my next high. After many relationships destroyed as my addiction progressed. I found my self spiritually,mentally and emotionally bankrupt. I simply could not control myself. I went thru several rehabs over the years always followed with return back to active addiction. Then something really special happened. I discovered Sober Living America. It has been an awesome journey during my stay here. It has done for me what I could not do for myself. Thru the 12 step program and church and the staff at Sober Living America. I have found a new freedom from alcohol and drugs. Today I have a choice that I once did not have. Thank you so much SLA for helping me achieve my goal of not living a life of deterioration due to drugs. God Bless You

My brother had nothing when he went into this program. I guess its a faith based program based on the principles of AA and NA. They helped him get food stamps and got him into a job. I haven't seen him this happy in years. He is surrounded by good people and a great program. I am very happy that a program like this exists for people who really need the help.

My son entered this program a couple months ago. He didn't need insurance or money up front like a lot of other rehabs do. They have helped him stay sober for the last few months so whatever they are doing its working. Thankful to have my son back and thankful this program exists.

I am a graduate of SLA and 16 month resident. In my experience SLA is a clean and safe environment in which a individual can gain the tools to maintain a sober lifestyle if one is willing and ready to change their lifes, unfortunately most are not. In my time here I have seen several staff members come and go. The first director I had and the present director stand out to me as the most capable thus far, unfortunately there were several disasters in between. I suppose good help can be hard to find, but in my opinion leadership can make or break this program. I am fortunate and grateful today for what SLA has helped me to achieve and I look forward to continued success for myself and this program.

Clean apartment style living. Staff was very supportive, and helped me through many challenges by showing me the steps to handle all trials and tribulations without drugs or alcohol. I am living much better and have grown as a person and my friends and family are proud of me. This program is one of the main reasons I am where I am today.

I came here down on my luck with no money from Chicago. Sober living America in Clearwater welcomed me with open arms. I now have a great AA network since they drive me to meetings every day and they helped me find a job immediately. I would highly recommend SLA!

During my college years I became an alcoholic. Like many others, the alcohol led me down a road that i never thought I would experience. After experiencing with weed i quickly moved on to cocaine. This pattern continued for a few years. Finally, after playing baseball throughout college my senior year I had to undergo Tommy john surgery. Post surgery i was received a prescription hydrocodone. This is where my life would change. Once becoming addicted and losing my father to cancer my addiction quickly got out of control. At this time , i entered my first rehab facility in California. After going to three more different rehabilitation centers i still did not quit. Sadly to say prior to going I was not ready to quit and had not hit my rock bottom. Soon i would find myself back in my hometown in Georgia. Finally, i discovered Sober Living America. This was exactly the kind of treatment I needed in order to prepare myself for the real world after learning to live a sober normal life. The things that the program offers really helps prepare you to enter the real world and be prepared to do so. It not only teaches you the certain coping skills that will you will soon realize are a vital part of staying clean. Sober Living America differed from the other treatment facilities that i have been in. The fact that they get you back into the work environment was the most helpful part other than teaching me to live a sober life. In my opinion, you can live sober but without the tools to proceed with a normal life you have to be held responsible for things such as rent, work, and other things that come along with living on your own. Without Sober living America I may not even be alive today. However, not only am I alive, Im living a normal life again holding down a steady job and remaining sober. All of the changes Sober living America has taught me helped me regain my families love and trust. Today, thankful for SLA and God I live a life that I once thought was out of reach and would never happen again.

Hey i am Tammy i am so happy for sla it is helping me find god and it is so good for me my life was not so good i lost my mom and when i felt like my life was no good god put sla in my life and it is helping me get my life back and i am so happy for sla for it and god to so wen u feel like u have no hope in life no u do i no i do my my life so good and it is for sla and god

When I walked into the doors at SLA, I didn't know what to expect. I was scared and somewhat intimidated. I had never been to a sober program before, but I took a chance because I needed to get sober. The staff greeted me with open arms and treated me with nothing but kindness. This program is really working for me. Everyone is so caring and extremely loving. I've gotten a job, I've made some great friends, and I'm almost one month sober. I have no desire to go back to the way I lived before, because I'm really starting to see a new outlook on life. I can't thank everyone here at SLA for everything they've done, and continue to do. THANK YOU!

Great people. Great atmosphere. All about recovery. Definitely recommend

So Here I Am...
When I awoke on my first day at SLA-Nashville, I felt like I was on the wrong side of the mirror, looking in on the world. It seemed as if everything I knew was born from a fantasyland that existed only in my head. Everything I thought i knew was useless here. Except for one thing, my overwhelming desire to overcome my addiction to drugs.
Despite the fact that I was in a new place, in a strange land, and surrounded by people I did not know, I felt safe. No longer did I have to worry about where I was going to stay or what was waiting for me in the shadows of my future.
The six months that followed have taught me about addiction, and how to "RESIST" the call from the shadows of my past.
So, here I am, starting another chapter of my life. Armed with the knowledge of recovery and surrounded by people I can relate to. Now, withg both feet firmly planted on the ground, I can walk into this new world, a world that I could only imagine in my dreams.

i am glad that i came into the SLA program it was a struggle at first but it has got a lot better for me ive only been here for two weeks and when i first came i wanted to go home but sence ive grown to know people here and the kindness and love i love it here and love it here and if it is GODS will i hope to complete the program because i want to move forward in my recovery.

So, Sober Living America in Birmingham has saved my life. I was very grateful to be here the first night i got here. i was put to work and in my own bed within 3 days. The first night i slept on a couch but was grateful to have it considering i came from sleeping in a tent By the tennessee river. I have a good job and have made many friends in the program. I honestly have no complaints other than i wish they had more than two vans considering there are around 40 residents here and only a 7 passenger van and a 15 passenger van at their disposal so transportation is a little frustrating. Other than that everything is great. I feel right at home and the staff here couldn't be nicer or more helpful when it comes to peoples needs and helping them in their journey though recovery. God bless SLA.

Misery. Agony. Hardship. Depression... All this and more was the girl I was when I was in the car riding with my mother from Florida to South Carolina. I came a girl and am living as a WOMAN now. The responsibility and nurturing that I now poses are just a few to mention. Honesty. Open Minded. Heartfelt... are another few to mention. Sober Living America has given me not only my life back but my family, new friends, and most of all ME. I am living a life beyond my dreams. Although I am not at an even keel, I am where I am going; towards true freedom. I have learned to live with others and actually live. Do you know the meaning of life? Me neither, but where I am from the girl I was to the woman I am in this program; is a miracle. Thanks to Sober Living America I can live a life clean and serene.

Extremely friendly and welcoming staff greeted me with a warm & welcoming smile. Sober Living America was my first experience with any type of rehabilitation or sober living environment and I am positive my decision could not have been improved in any way. I would refer SLA to anyone, anytime, anyplace without any hesitation. Thank you Sober Living America for a Sober Living Brandy.

I have been at The Canton Ga location 7 days. Love the staff and the way they try so hard to make us all here feel loved and cared about as individuals and a group.
Looking forward to continuing my sobriety with Sober living America.

Sober Living America has turned my life around. The staff is awesome, they care about my sobriety and help me through daily to stay clean. The program is amazing. The daily morning meetings are a great way to start my day off and give lots of inspiration. They have helped me find a job and start learning how to live as a productive member of society. My attitude has improved tremendously through this program. If I need help they are here all the time. If I call with a concern they don't hesitate to answer and quickly address whatever the issue is. I can say that this program has given me an environment to help me stay clean. They've given me the tools to live life clean, and they've given me hope for a better life.

The nonprofit organization Sober Living of America welcomed me in with open arms. They made sure that I had and still have all I need. The residents here have also been welcoming and helpful. I have remained sober and will continue to stay sober as long as I have the support that SLA offers.

This experience is new to me. its making me a better person so i can rebuild my relationship with my son. If it wasn't for SLA i would be the person i am today. I have learn how to do the right thing and if you do the right thing good things come to you. i'm currently looking for a sponsor so i can start working the 12 steps. I love this place.

i would like to say this program is helping me stay clean its giving me my life back its found me a good job the staff is very helpful iam more than happy to be in sla cant wait to see what the furture brings samuel gantz

Sober Living America has been very welcoming and very educational to my sobriety. I love the cleanliness and the structure of the program.

I am so thankful for finding Sober Living America as a place for my daughter to go after detox. I truly wish that we had known about your organization the first time she came out of rehab. She now has a purpose in life, feels like she belongs, and looks better than she ever has.

My brother had struggled with addiction for the past 10 years. It was hard to get him into a place without needing health insurance or money up front. If you are looking for a treatment program for anyone struggling with addiction this is the place.

Hey my name is Robyn and I'm an addict. I came to Sober Living America in Newnan looking for recovery and that's what I've found. I came in with nothing, and now I have all the tools I need to live sober. Thanks SLA!!

Sober Living of America has had a dramatic impact on my life and I have experienced positive results from my life as a resident here. My director Brooke Burke goes over and beyond her call of duty to make sure staff and residents feel comfortable and encourages us everyday in a way that makes us feel like we are needed and wanted back in society as upstanding citizens. The staff here in Louisville just cannot be praised enough as a whole. As a resident here I encourage anyone who has difficulty with life in general to check out Sober Living of America and give them a chance along with your personal willingness to allow the change to come into your life that you deserve!

Jason

I came into this program with nothing. I had lost my relationships, spirit and most important I lost myself. This place changed my life. It got me back on my feet, gave me all the tools to stay sober and restored my relationships. I am so thankful for this program. I would definitely recommend it to anyone struggling with addiction.

Sober Living America has been a life saver. When I came to Sober Living I was homeless, broke, and didn’t know which way to go. I was in a 30 day treatment center with no money for further treatment. I knew I wouldn’t make it if I didn’t get into a long term center. I found out about Sober Living, called them, and they accepted me with no problems. Since I’ve been here, I have been reintroduced to Alcoholics Anonymous, found a sponsor, and strengthened my relationship with God.

Came to sober living America with no idea what my next step in my life would be. The great staff and friendly members of the community made me feel welcome and everything was going to be okay. I attend AA and currently living a sober life.

I've been in Greenville a short weak and when I came in sick and I thought everybody was full of crap when they said it would get better but each day has gotten easier and the staff is so supporting. I'm excited about my recovery and eager to see what the program has to offer.

To say I came to Sober Living America with no clue would be an understatement! I came to Nashville in July 2016 from a 28 day program. I knew I wanted to change but did not know how, or if it was humanly possible. When I arrived Danielle and Mikel made me feel very welcomed. My Mother and Step Dad braught me in. We all sat in the office and they both answered my family's questions and concerns. Since then not only have I completed the program but I have been given the opportunity to help others. It has broadend my perspective not only in life, but about God, myself, and my relationship with others. I am forever grateful for SLA and the things I have learned here will go with me in every area of my life! Today I know that I am the problem and if I do not realize that there would have never been a solution! Thank you Danielle, Mikel, Brandy, and every single guest here that has helped me in my journey! Love this place and love you all!! God Bless.

I am the father of a 25 year old son, David, who became addicted to drugs while attending college. He dropped out of school his sophmore year, and the situation seemed hopeless. He had overdosed several times on heroin, and I was sure that I would one day soon have to bury my only child. The hospitals would help him get the drugs out of his system, and he would be sincere in his commitment to stop using, but he would always go straight back to using drugs.
After my son's last trip to the hospital, my wife and I prayed for an answer and were determined to find our son a long term solution. We researched the options available and decided that Sober Living America (SLA) may be the answer. When my son got discharged from his last hospital detox, we picked him up and took him directly to a SLA Campus.
We were met at the office by a caring staff, who allayed many of our worries, and took our son in and treated him like a brother. The staff not only made sure his needs were met, but required that he live a disciplined lifestyle. This entailed employment, keeping his home clean, and attending daily AA/NA meetings both on and off campus.
In a months time, David began to look like our son again. He looked healthy, had friends, and was working. Five months later, our prayers were answered, and our son graduated the SLA program. He was free of his drug addiction, had an AA sponsor, and had a great network of support in both Alcoholic's Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. He was working a good job and was enrolled in school again.
Thank you to everyone in the entire SLA community. This includes: the administration that made the admission process easy; the on Campus Staff that reinstilled our son's self-esteem; and the other residents that treated him like a brother and shared in his sucess.
My wife and I are deeply grateful for the help Sober Living America provided in saving our son's life.
Our prayers were answered.

I feel that this is a good program and it actually works if you apply yourself. I'm learning how to stay sober day by day and have transportation to my meetings and work. I now have a good support system and mending loose ends with my family to build healthier relationships. Staff at SLA has been good to me and I'm very grateful.

This is an awesome place for recovery. Great environment, great program. Gives you all the tools you need to live a life of sobriety. Truly a place that can change your life if you are struggling with addiction.

When I came to SLA in May, I was struggling with my addiction to Methamphetamine. Even though I had a little clean time when I arrived, I was struggling with the cravings. Sober Living America gave me the knowledge that I needed to maintain my sobriety. They introduced me to AA/NA, got me working the 12 steps, and introduced me to my sponser. The community in Newnan GA has been an awesome place for me and my recovery. Thanks to the SLA my relationship with my kids and my family has gone from non existent to great!!! I will always be greatful to SLA for that.

SLA is by far the best recovery program out there! Its has been designed to help an array of addicts and alcoholics get back on their feet and prepare them for a independent lifestyle where sobriety and healthy life choices becomes number one priority. They help the resident in every aspect of recovery, starting from the second they walk in the door. Everything from job placement, food assistance, NA/AA meetings, and everything in between that is crucial to the recovering addict/alcoholic is only a call away. The Staff here at SLA are also more then helpful, professional, and friendly to the newcomer who comes seeking recovery, guidance, and assistance. This Sober Living Recovery Program is Highly Recommended as it carries the essential qualities and tools that such a program needs to posses.

Coming into a program of recovery was the biggest step I made for my life. I was beat down, broken, and lost all hope for myself in succeeding in life. Calling the 866 number that got me a phone interview for Sober Living America was the hardest, but also most effective call I made for myself in a long time. They were so helpful and sweet, and tried their hardest to get me into a city that I would feel comfortable going to. When it was all said and done, i just told them to send me somewhere, and I would make it there somehow. I was approved for the program, and a couple days later I was well on my way to the best adventure of my life thus far. I got to the Greenville location, and the staff were so good to me. Set me up with the food bank, because i had very little money to eat on, and got me some clothes from their own closet! Who does that? These people did. They were the best guy and gals i could have wanted to meet. Being from another state, I was scared, lost and confused. I didnt know what to do. They took care of me though, that's for sure! They also got me a job, working at a place that i had no experience in, but have been working there and enjoying the part of hard working that comes with this place to. If you dont know pain, youll never know happiness!! Its been 5 months sense i got sober, and came into Sober Living America. They helped to achieve so many goals i had laid out for myself, and more! I owe so much to this organization, but really, they dont want anything in return. Just for me to try and stay sober, just for today. They help me stay sober, and get me to meetings, work, and the doctor when i need to go. Sober living America has provided me with more tools than i could have imagined getting. I can not thank the staff and people here enough for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime! Thank you Sober Living America, You guys ROCK!

Hi, my name is Chris and my drug of choice was heroin. I have never known bondage, like I did then. This drug had my body and soul. I wanted desperately to get off of it. Even though I was slowly killing myself, I assumed that, this was the only way out of the abyss I had created. I always heard it would end in one of three ways, jails, institutions, or death. My will was broken and I made some poor choices which led to me being incarcerated for a short time. Upon getting out and realizing that I had been given a second chance, I decided that I didn’t want to live that way anymore. I didn’t have a job and n was broke. I was spiritually bankrupt. My brother kept telling me to go to AA and that somebody would help me. I gave in and went to my first AA meeting in years. I met someone and we talked after the meeting. I was asked to come back the next day. So I did, and the day after that, and the day after that. During this time I was getting to know the people in the group. I became hungry for the power of this program and desperately wanted what they had. By this time I had made a friend, and he gave me the number of one of his friends, and that friend gave me the number of one of his friends. I called and talked, and called and talked to people until I got a hold of Wes Coffee.He mentioned to me about moving into a long term recovery program. I was more than willing. I called SLA and talked to Cassie. That was a Friday
I was welcomed to stay here, no money down, and come as you are. Monday afternoon I was moving into an apartment at SLA, Columbia, SC. The staff welcomed me and immediately did a needs assessment. They took me to the food bank the very next day and found me a job soon there after. While I may have had 5 months “clean” time before coming here, I was not working on the problem. Alcohol and drugs were but a symptom. The problem was me. SLA took provided me with transportation to and from meetings. There I found other people with the same problems I have had. I got a sponsor and began working the 12 steps. Finally I have found some peace in my life.
If not for SLA, I would have ended up right where I left off. Because of them, I am now in a place where I am surrounded by recovery. My life is has been transformed and I owe it to AA, my sponsor, and the staff of SLA.
My name is Chris, and I am a grateful recovering alcoholic/addict.

I came to Sober Living of America here in Charlotte, NC on April 10th, 2018. I didn't want to accept i had a problem and was very hesitant on being a a active member in the program.I will be here 90 days on the 24th of this month{June}.I have grown beyond what i i thought and knew I could.I have learned i am not alone and that there is help for a person like me.This program has helped me spiritually, mentally, and physically. I'm a better woman and mother..I have gained my family back as well as my sobriety .I can believe in myself and know Im going to live a sober life with the right tools and resources that Sober living of America has started me with and continues to help me as well as other addicts/alcoholics...We can and will maintain our sobriety and to be able to say and truly believe that is a privilege .Credit goes to sober living of america .I can live right and sober because of the staff that genuinely cares about my sobriety..Deidre, Justin, Paul, Kiante, and Terry have my respect and loyalty for everything they helped me with in my journey to recovery..

my name is richard wayne wheeler, i came into this program broken as a man. and spiritually bankrupt. i’m a minister and really had no connection with my higher power. but getting a sponsor and meetings has shown me the way, it wasn’t easy to do a 360 sixty., but i listened and learned thruj sober living that it can be done. cooking cleaning, meetings fellowshipping with other winners, helped open doors. everything Sean, josh and john promised, they delivered big time. where i was unhirable, didn’t want to work or couldn’t, i’m at the plastic plant promoted to machine operator, in two weeks imagine that a job people go to school for, tell me this program doesn’t work, you’ll probably get a argument. this program called sober living has changed my life for the betterment of humankind because i was always a taker now im a giver, id recommend it to anyone serious about recovery, its work. because we all know that freedom isn’t free. there’s work but the rewards are priceless. awesome!!!!! baby.

My name is Eric and I came to SLA addicted to heroin and synthetic marijuana. I used whatever I could get my hands on. I finally got to my breaking and called SLA from home in Albany, GA. I talked to a person at the call center and there choice sounded familiar. It turned out to be a childhood friend of mine who also suffered from addiction issues but had since found a new way of life and was actually working for Sober Living America. This was very encouraging to me because I know that she used the way I used and if this had worked for her it might just work for me. I came to the Lawrenceville location and tried to make a change. I did not take full advantage of all of their services offered and I relapsed. I have since tried again fully accepting myself as an addict for the first time and have found a level of sobriety and peace I never thought possible. The fight is not over though. I have the day that I am living in to stay sober. But with the help of SLA and a God of my understanding I hope to stay sober for the rest of my life one day at a time.

I came into this program three and a half months ago looking for a better way of living. I was warmed welcomed. I was introduced to AA for the first time. Right then I new I was in the right place. Started working the steps. I have had a spiritual awaking. Some days are better than others. I thank SLA for showing me a different way of life!

Im actually im 120 days in the program. Its has changed my life in so many ways, still is. Im grateful that i made the right choice and became a part of sober living america Atlanta Womans!! I love it couldnt ask for a better place to be in soberity with alot of amazing women!! -Lori Recovering Addict in Atlanta Womens!!!

SLA works hard to help people leaving detox who are vulnerable and in very early recovery, move towards long term recovery. They go above and beyond to help any person who wants recovery but may not have a safe place to go due to lack of finances or support. There are many people that would have to return to the street/unsafe/AOD filled environments if SLA wasnt available for them. They are flexible and easy to work with due to their offering different options for people who do or do not have money or resources to get help. Thanks to all of the staff who work so hard to accommodate people who have little to no hope for their future! SLA is a place where my clients can find the hope they’ve lost through their disease.

I came into this program 3 months ago not knowing anyone. As soon as I came to the Atlanta women's I was greeted by the community and it touched my heart when they said welcome home. I opened up in more ways than I though I could being here. Thanks to the director Eryka Thompson, and her staff I plan on staying longer than I thought I was going to stay.

Sober Living America Atlanta Womens is a great place for me and my recovery. It has given me all the tools and resources needed to achieve great things in life. I have been introduced to several AA and NA meetings in my area to attend through Sober Living America. Eryka Thompson is a great leader and is ways there to listen when I need her. Her and Cassy Fausett also gave me the resources and tools needed for me to start my mental health services here in Atlanta. I am so grateful to this program and the people who run it.

just now-Edit
I came to Sober Living America a very broken man. Newly divorced, addicted to everything which was bad for me, lost and hopeless. SLA gave me direction, guidance, and a chance to start over. With the help of the staff as well as the other guests i found my way to a recovery program which has changed my life. I never felt like I didn't belong or like I was different in any way. They helped me gain a sponsor through AA meetings and led me to a relationship with Christ, and that will forever be "who I am". The living environment is pleasant and I was always surrounded by men living clean and sober lives. From the leadership to the guests, I was amazed by my experience. Thank you Sober Living America!!!!

I’m truly grateful for the second chance at life and the opportunity to make something of my life that Sober Living Jacksonville has given me. I had reached a point in my life where I had nothing or nobody to turn to and it was either get sober or continue living my demoralizing existence. Sober Living Jacksonville has given me the tools to be able to live life on life’s terms and I am able to build a foundation for a life worth living. I’ve been to several treatment centers in the past but something about the community at this place is special and none like any other place I’ve ever been to. Through help of the amazing director and other incredible staff I am able to piece what was my life back to a place I never thought possible. I owe my life to this place. Thank you Sober Living Jacksonville! Jennifer Walters

When I arrived at Sober Living America, I was in bad shape. I had nothing left but a little bit of hopes to get better and to get my life back in order. This place helped me do that and in such a small time frame too. They helped me get a job, get plugged into recovery, and build a network. Today I have 4 months clean and sober, and don't know what would have happened to me without Sober Living America. I owe my sobriety to them and of course my higher power too!
