Sober Living America Inc

i enjoy getting the chance to help people. and its a great place to rebuild our lives.

I came into Sober Living America and felt hopeless , down and just desperate. Sober Living America helped me to understand that none of the above was true. Now I have the honor and privilege of working along side of them and I get to help spread that same love and grace to others who are exactly like me. It is an honor to work with Sober Living America!

SLA is a great place.i was homeless no job no money and they took me in and helped me stay in recovery by taking me to AA meetings and in house meetings.they gave me an opportunity to become staff as a guest service and room to advance to become a director I've only been here a month and it has been a great experience. It also allowed me to stay sober and a chance to get my life together thank you SLA

SLA has provided me with the environment to become sober, grow spiritually, and serve others who suffer with drug/alcohol addiction. The tools I have acquired here are useful in my every day endeavors to maintain my sobriety and be a productive member of society. Sober Living America has created an environment where I can be of service to God's children while also benefitting my recovery and spiritual growth. I owe the newness of life I am experiencing these days to SLA and love being a member of their team.

SLA SAVED MY LIFE !! LOVED ME UNTIL I COULD LOVE MYSELF!! INTRODUCED ME TO A NEW WAY TO LIVE!!

This program is awesome. It has taught me what I needed to stay sober and brought me on Staff teaching leadership 101

This sober living program in my opinion has by far the best program available!I have personally seen it change hundreds and know it to have changed thousands of peoples lives!!!

I started working with Sober Living America because I wanted to give back to the same community that supported me in such a difficult time in my life. The ways my life has changed since volunteering here are too numerous to list, but the organization itself is great. They provide awesome training, supportive leadership and most importantly, they have a clear goal and shared common purpose. The campus in Macon is especially great!

I came to SLA in June 2022. I was tired, broken and had just been released from prison for the 3rd time. I knew I had to do something different or I was going to die. SLA welcomed me in with open arms. At that time SLA was the only ones who believed in me. I came on staff as a Driver in July 2022, continued on through SLA's Guest Service, and Director's training. I became the Director of the Jonesboro campus in September 2022. This program has not been easy, but it's well worth it. SLA has given me all the tools to live a sober productive life. They have taught me keeping God first, staying open-minded and following suggestion will keep you going in a positive direction. I am now rebuilding relationships with my children and grandchild. I enjoy what I do. I never knew my story could make a difference. I truly believe that God has planted me amongst my people.

Sober Living America has assisted me with my sobriety by helping me to find a sponsor, begin working the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, and learn how to balance recovery and my life in general. They have also helped me to develop my relationship with God. I thoroughly enjoy working for this organization as it allows me to serve my community.

I love this program I had been to 3 rehabs and I needed to get my life right , sober living America has given me a chance to have a new start on my life , I am glad there is such a program such as sla

Sober Living America provided me with the structure I needed and an introduction to the steps I had never had before. The program saved my life and allowed me to come on staff. It has been one of the greatest opportunities I've had to continue in my recovery and help others overcoming the struggles I can relate to all too well.

I love everything about SLA. I love the foundation it was built on. The best thing about being on the Birmingham campus is seeing folks from all walks of life come together as a family, a team..to fight the disease of addiction. The apartments are clean and comfortable. Our meeting are wonderful.

SLA has allowed me to take the steps needed to become a parent my children can be proud of.

SLA has taught me how to use the tools of recovery in my life to be successful. I would recommend this to any one willing and ready to change their life for the better.

I'm at the Tampa 1 location and it's been a great experience for change, growth, and learning. Helping me obtain tools to help me that I never had or knew about. It's assisted me in trying to become the best version of myself.

Sla is a great program, it has helped tramendously

I came to Florida for treatment. I knew I couldn’t go back to Arkansas so I came to SLA. It has completely changed my life!! Now I’m even on staff I still can’t believe all the blessings.

At sober living America we do so much with very little. I still live with sla and am a program graduate and now driver. I wish i new 20 years ago place like this where around)

This is a great place to live/work. As a resident of this program I was given assistance with finding work and they even introduced me to a network of sober people. They held me accountable for my own BS. This led me down the path to recovery.

Sober Living America has been an amazing experience for me. I first came to Sober Living America in 2018 to get help with my addiction. They made me feel welcomed and showed me how to stay clean and sober. I now work for Sober Living America and could not ask for a better way to give back to the program that saved my life. Working here I get to work with other addicts and alcoholics every day. Their vision is "No Money, no problem" and they stand by that. They took me in for nothing and helped me to find a better life than I could have ever imagined. Thank you SLA.

Coming to sober living America was one of the best decisions that i have made in my life . The program has taught me to how to live a life free from drugs and alcohol . i am forever grateful for this .

I entered this program in January of 2022. It truly amazes me and my family how helpful it has been on my road to recovery from addiction. The staff was vital to my early recovery and has remained helpful over the past 5 months. I now volunteer so that I can give back to new guests of the program in an attempt to repay the great things that were put into my life.

Sober Living America is the program that saved my life. I have been with them for going on 3 years now and it has turned my life around. Prior to joining the program I was a homeless alcoholic and drug addict whom had no hope for their life. But this program gave me the tools I needed to live a better life. They help guide us through the rooms of AA and the 12 Steps of recovery as well. I hope to see this program continue to grow and be able to help those like they helped me.

I have been with Sober Living America for almost 2 years now and I can say that their program saved my life. I was hopeless when I arrived. I had no idea how to live without drugs and alcohol and they taught me how to love myself again. I have been at several locations in Texas and am now at the St Louis location.

I was having problems with addiction that I didn't realize, and had gotten into so much trouble legally that I ended up in rehab. From there I was terrified to leave rehab. When I was told about Sober Living America I was excited. Not only has sober living america given me an opportunity to live a new life in recovery, but being a volunteer for this organization has allowed me to help other people with their recoveries.

Sober Living America has been great for me. I first came to them when no one else would take me because I didn't have a lot of money to pay up front. I actually had no money at all and they told me no problem. I left Alabama to go to Florida in 2017, scared and alone. They made me feel like I am loved, something I had forgotten what it felt like. I relearned how to be the person I was before alcoholism and addiction. They helped me start my recovery and now when I have problems I don't instantly go back to my old BS. I can live my life without alcohol and cocaine now. I WANT to live my life now and the only reason I am still alive is because of them.

I arrived in SLA on January 12th 2021. I have now been sober for right at 17 mths.i couldn't have done it without the tools SLA has given me. The director is awesome. She's very patient and caring. This program has changed my life and I am a better person because of it.

Sober Living America has changed my life in way I used to only dream of, because of this great place I have a new faith in God and am a man that I can be proud of. I truly owe so much to this amazing place.

SLA has truly saved my life. This program offers amazing opportunities to grow as individuals and as a family. I would highly recommend SLA to anyone that is or knows someone that is currently suffering from alcoholism and/or addiction.

Sober Living America has helped me to realize that there is life after alcoholism and addiction. SLA provides all the tools necessary to break free from life controlling bonds. I have been blessed to visit multiple locations and would recommend any of their programs and locations to anyone wanting to learn how to live a happy, joyous, and free life.

Best decision i ever made coming to SLA . Gave me structure helping me get in touch with people in recovery and taught me how to make better decisions and responsibility. Being at the Greenville 1 location Wally has tough love but i needed it they loved me until i love myself.

This organization helps a lot of recovering addicts and alcoholics. I have seen many lives change and the life come back into lost souls. They will give you all the tools to succeed but ultimately it is up to the recovering addict or alcoholic to do the work and really want something different in life. It is the only organization I know of that you can come into with no money being that most addicts don't have any and their family are usually done with them if they have any family at all. It has definitely saved and changed my life, as well as so many others. They help teach you to be independent and enjoy life sober. I honestly doubt I would still be alive today if it were not for God leading me to this organization. I was at the end of my rope hopeless and broke, thinking rehab was only for the rich. They made it a possibility and I am forever grateful. Choosing to be a part of this organization has allowed me to use all my mistakes in life for something good. It allows me to give hope and love to those who walk through the door thinking it won't work for them, and their life is over, because I was once them myself.

I'm at the Spartanburg 1 location. Great program to keep you clean and sober, I've met alot of great people during my time here. They make you feel really involved and they show tough love when needed, you absolutely know they care. The councilors are awesome as well as the meetings on and off campus, definitely keeps you busy and focused. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to live a clean and sober life, they really know what they are doing.

One thing I can say, SLA has helped me plug into a network of a great group of individuals in recovery. My relationship with God has been restored and strengthened. I can say now I have the tools for success to ensure that I never use again. I thank God for SLA and the wonderful community that they have built.

When I initially decided to contact SLA, I had about 8 months of sobriety under my belt and it was just that, sobriety or time. I knew that it was just a matter of time before I decided to take that one drink or pop that one Xanax bar to begin that vicious cycle of addiction back in to motion. Since coming here, I now know the difference between being sober and being in recovery. SLA is two-steps ahead of the competition when it comes to equipping their residents with the necessary tools to combat against this disease. Sober Living America has brought out the best in me!! No money, no problem is their vision, and they have definitely achieved their goal by creating irresistible facilities and irresistible programs. If you are needing treatment from Drug & Alcohol addiction at a reasonable cost, Sober Living of America is the place to be. Unlike other drug treatment programs, SLA enables you to get exceptional recovery at your fingertips that you will use for a lifetime while assisting you in getting gainful employment. SLA definitely has all the guardrails in place to help guide you through and through. SLA gives you the ability to still feel like you are part of society, while still addressing all those issues that have kept you shackled to addiction for most of your life. They have changed my life forever by helping me find a new way to live, free from Drugs & Alcohol, and they can do the same for you!!

January 14, 2021 God had a plan for me and although I was not sure of that plan, my faith said yes. It was also that day when I returned to Sober Living America to learn how to live one day at a time free from drugs and alcohol. Since that day I have had the chance to grow with Sober Living America in many ways. What started off as a journey to be a guest has turned out to be a journey of a servant heart. Sober Living America has provided me with the opportunity to help others in a manner that I would not have said was going to happen. Since that date in 2021, I have been the Program Director over two cities, I have found peace and joy within myself, I have grown to love this AMAZING family, I have completed the twelve steps with the help of a great Sponsor and support of Sober Living America. Above all I have found the most AMAZING God that loves me for me. I am connected through Service work in the community and through Mount Pleasant Christian Church/Fairfax Christian Church. The structure and discipline that is provided through Sober Living America has saved my life.

I volunteer for Sober Living America. And it is truly a blessing. This Company truly is a blessing and wants to help other.

The Staff was very helpful when I first got here. I eventually became a staff member because I believe in this program so much.

I owe my life to Sober Living America. They reintroduced me to the 12 steps of AA and I've been sober for 16 months.

Sober living America has helped me out a lot I came in broken and hopeless they helped me start a new way of life they brought happiness where there was sadness. 6 months ago my family did not want anything to do with me and now I am such a light in there eyes now. They helped me enter into the 12 steps and helped me become stronger with my higher power who I chose to call god

Being at SLA has giving the opportunity to do some good with my life and give back to the community. I'm now a staff member and have fully enjoyed the experience here. I can't wait to see what happens next in my journey here because it's been all uphill.

This place has truly changed my life. I've been in and out through the years but it's because I wasn't ready to change. I'm now on staff in Richmond Virginia and it has been the most amazing experience ever.

I came in straight off of the streets. I felt broken. When I came to SLA I saw all these people that were happy and doing normal things like working a steady job. I decided that I wanted what they had and SLA gave me the tools to get it.

I love this program. I am at Jax 1. This is for anyone whom wants to stop using. I am 3weeks clean and there is no turning back now thanks SLA.

Sober living America is an outstanding program for recovery. I have been blessed to be here and a part of this community. My recovery and sobriety depends sober living America God bless you all

Starting my recovery changed my life was the second best decision. Coming Sober Living of America was the first best decision I made for myself. SLA provided the love, tolerance, and leadership I needed to wrap my head around God's provision for me. Despite being gifted with people skills and decent intelligence, I was not able to build an independent life for myself. Not only did SLA show me how to simplify life and use these talents more effectively, they polished the talents and gave me an opportunity to do the same for others. I am thankful to have met so many people that believe in the new comer's ability to persevere and achieve. There so much more that can be said about this company and its transitional program, but to put it simply; AA may have turned my life around but SLA provided the vehicle for me to take recovery seriously.

This program has given me hope and has showed me a new way of living sober and clean. I came in with very little, no self-confidence and no future. I now have a sense of confidence, i have rebuilt relationships with family, learned to love myself, gotten a relationship with my higher power and grown. This program is set up for u to make it, u just have to put in the work, get honest, and be willing.

I came to SLA broken and hopeless. They gave me the tools to pick myself up and learn to live life again. I am now staff here at SLA and get to spend my days giving back to a program that has saved my life. I spend my days helping others to learn to pick themselves up again and learn to live life again. I spent a lot of time at rock bottom thinking there was no way out and God led me to this amazing program. I can't find the words for how grateful I am.

Sober Living America gave my an opportunity to do something different. They helped lead me to God and an amazing 12 step program that saved my life. On top of that, Sober Living America believed in me and gave me the opportunity to help others and give back what was freely given to me. I am so grateful for SLA.

SLA has provided me the opportunity to better myself while also helping others. In my journey with SLA, I have continued to watch the company grow and make changes in people's lives and families. If anyone is looking for help they can definitely find it here. From housing to addiction education to job placement, nothing is overlooked. If anyone needs the help it is simply a phone call away.

I entered sla about a year ago in Jacksonville FL. Sla has changed my life. There is a director by the name of Joe that care for his guest and recovery more then anyone I no. This program has helped me with all my needs and helped me find the proper ways of life to stay clean. I would recommend this program to anyone wanting to live a life without drugs.

SLA Colombia is a well run, guest oriented community where the Mission and Vision of SLA is of Paramount importance. The program is based on Putting God First. All staff are very helpful and supportive. A great program for Recovery.

My Name is Kenneth Howard.I am a resident of SLA. I came in January 7,2020. SLA has given me the tools I needed for My recovery. They got me plugged into God and Recovery. I came in broken and defeated. Thanks to them I have learned to be able to be a positive role model for New residents. To show them that it works if you work it and you have to want it. I am now employed with SLA as Guest Services. I love what I do and being able to show that it does work. I have graduated in July of 2020, and have been sober and clean for 16 months. Thanks to SLA, AA and my sponsor.

I’ve been at Sober Living America in Louisville, KY for almost five months now. It’s a great place to go if you’re looking to get your life back on track. They take you with no money down, find you a job and provide transportation. I would recommend this place to anyone trying to better their lives.

Since I been here at SLA my life has totally changed. Not only am I learning live sober, the wonderful experience of meeting people who seem like family is a plus.Now that i have a chance to help other people is a dream of mine! I couldn't have asked for the best help ever!! I'm blessed that I'm not going through this tough time of my life alone. Here at Marietta 2 has been a blessing with the help of my sponsor, a home group and SLA I am thankful!!! The community and staff ( Lisa) has been the most helpful ever!! I could do this with out you!!

I think this program is awesome its helping me finding my recovery my higher power and stability to live a sober life

Sober Living of America has helped me begin making the changes in my life that will lead me to my first potential. As an alcoholic and addict I've always lacked direction and a sense of purpose and self, but SLA -with it's staff and members- is helping me find the innermost parts of myself that not only aid me, but my community. I am so happy, grateful, and blessed to call SLA home. They gave me a chance and a home when no one else would. I will forgever be grateful to them for that. This nonprofit organization is unmatched and I'd recommend it to anyone seeking guidance on their path of lifelong sobriety.

I was at Sober Living America Duluth 2 campus. It was the best experience of my life. The staff there was great! They helped show me the way, teaching me about the 12 step program of AA showing me how to get a sponsor. My life is so much better today. I never though taking a chance at sober living America would be the best decision I would ever make. If your looking for change in your life give this program a try.

I've been here going on a year and i cant begin to tell you how this place has saved my life. This place is god send for addict about transition in a normal life. This Staff is so professional. Thank you Sober Living America.

Not only has this Organization brought me to the AA 12 Steps, but it has brought me closer to my Higher Power God. The effective interaction between guests, the brotherhood and fellowship that resonates from the community is what “bonds” guests and make them want to “stick and stay”. It is with Discipline and consistency that people are working towards achieving their goals, and making contact again with loved ones. All the while SLA volunteers are there to assist, lead and guide all guests. SLA is the best way of recovery with having an open mind and support. SLA.

Been fighting addiction for years. Found out about SLA while I was in rehab. My story is like most, nothing special, lost everything and everyone. SLA is the only place that I have ever felt loved & cared about. I have learned that thru this program, AA & my Lord & Saviour, I have a chance to live a normal life. I'm beginning to get people and things back but most of all I am learning to love myself and listen to God. Thanks to SLA I am still alive and would highly recommend anyone that is struggling with addiction or wants help to check them out...

SLA has not only given me a place to grow but has offered me the opportunity to help others. It is amazing to see people change over time and is an honor to now be a part of the process. I owe a lot to this program and what it is trying to do!
Walter Banks

Sober Living America has helped me out tremendously with the tools I need for my sobriety. I’m very appreciative and grateful for the opportunity that God has given me in allowing me to find and come to Sober Living America, it’s definitely saved my life.

When I arrived at SLA Spartanburg, I was lost, bewildered and powerless. When I arrived I was met at Greyhound by the Program Director and the driver, and was made to comfortable immediately. When my interview/intake was conducted I was put at ease and explained how SLA worked. It left no doubts in my mind what was required. I was taken to my apartment and introduced to the house senior, who went through the SLA Guidelines with me and explained exactly what was required, and what I could/could not do.
My fellow house guests made me feel at home immediately and I realized that God works in mysterious ways. He found me a Home.
Since arriving at SLA in April 2020 my life has undergone a fantastic transformation. I Adopted the SLA Mission Statement as my own adventure, and I grasped the 12 Step program and my relationship with God as my ALL. Throughout my program I have been supported fantastically by SLA staff and Directors, and I am now thank-full for the people that has referred me to SLA. It is a program worth following, and it has the interest of each guest at heart.
I have joined SLA Staff and I can thank my Higher Power God for giving me the opportunity of being part of such a fantastic, supporting environment.
We have the interest of all our Guest at heart and support them in this Brotherhood and Fellowship.
This is a "HOME FROM HOME" where learn to make amends and to rebuild the bridges we have burnt.

Great place to get your life back there's a lot of good people that can guide you on the right track

I am in sla Charlotte 2. The staff is very attentive to our needs. We make meetings every night. and It changed my life. I have routine. I work honestly today. Basic life essentials and necessities are here. I believe that the place wouldn't run smoothly if it didnt have the staff they have. The drivers get everyone to and from work on time. We all communicate. and we all are recovering from different walks of life. I wish I could take this place with me when I leave here. Because it has menon track. This is thee longest streak I have been doing well without thinking about my addiction.

Spartanburg SC was the Sober Living America campus I attended. First they took me in off the streets with nothing to my name then this program saved my life by teaching me how to live again while I was recovering from my addiction. They tought me morals and structure which I needed to survive in the real world. They drove me to work, A.A meetings and honestly anything I asked that was reasonable. I owe my life to them and the brotherhood. They made me feel loved again between the staff and other guests, which helped me love myself again. I found my purpose in life while there striving to have what other's there already found. I followed the lead of the trainers which would stop in and bless us with there story. I have a relationship with God now and a purpose to live. I'm still in the program and volunteer to work on staff as work development, so I can give back what was giving to me. I'm so grateful for Sober Living America!!!

sparta2 .SLA saved my life! They took me in when no one else would. I was at Rock bottom, with no money and they welcomed me with open arms! I owe my life to them. I would recommend SLA to anyone who is struggling with addiction.

Before I came to Sober Living America I was destitute. I found a solution here and a way to finally stay sober. They taught me to be able to live again and the right way. Not only do they give you employment opportunities, they teach you how to live sober and give you the right tools and solutions to be able to live life to its fullest.

This program is run like a 3 ring circus. Most of the time they have someone who has less than a year sober, sometimes less than 6 months sober working as a director for an entire campus. They have zero issues taking your money but giving you back what they owe you is like pulling teeth. This company is a complete scam. Do not waste your time or money. They also create fake email accounts and then make reviews so they look better when searched on Google.

Sober living has changed my life forever no longer do I wish to shut the doors on my past but open the doors to my new future and I am beyond blessed and fortunate to be able to call myself apart of a program so great

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!!!

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

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 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

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!!!

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

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

Sober Living America is an excellent program for anyone looking to take the first step in recovery. They offer all of the tools necessary to work a program and stay sober. Great people and amenities

Sober living America has a kind and loving staff that really care about each individuals recovery on personal level. They are willing to go the extra mile for people with limited means and resources. Would highly recommend for the addict or alcoholic that's out there still sick and suffering. There motto Is no money no problem, not many places like that out there!

Sober living America has saved my life. I have been here almost 5 months. I have not had one day clean and sober in 10 years until I came here. It is an easy program if you're willing to put in the effort required to stay clean. I floundered for a little while trying to figure out this was the program for me. I stayed, went to my meetings as required by SLA, took the suggestions, and started working my steps. Once I finally did that, my entire life changed for the better and all the promises I heard about in the meeting starting coming true for me. I owe my sobreity and life to this simple program. My family and I are grateful for the restoration of my life, sanity, and sobriety. I recommend this program to anyone that wants a new way of life.

Hello there my name is Adam, I am new to SLA Clearwater but so far I have nothing bad to say about the program. They are teaching me how to stay clean. I am learning accountability and how to ease back into society.I have been homeless and struggling to stay sober for 7 years. I now have a bed and I am working. Thanks and have a great day, hope to see you at SLA.

I was a lost soul with no value and no reason to live... At least that is what I told myself. After spending over five years fighting overseas and receiving numerous wounds from these battles, I quickly became addicted to Opioids. Upon returning home I was met with a nasty divorce after 18 years of marriage. My life was over. No family, no friends, major addiction, NO HOPE!!. After numerous suicide attempts and many tear filled days, I turned to prayer. Just a few days later I was sent a message from a program telling me there is an answer to my troubles. I was in serious doubt concerning this but decided to look into it. The lady on the phone gave me a great pitch and an address. After a twenty mile walk and then another hour long ride, I arrived at SLA, Marietta. I was met with open arms by people who seemed to be truly concerned for me. They assured me that I didn't have to live that old life anymore and there was hope. Skeptical, I decided to give it a go. I was placed into a community of people in recovery who suffered the same problems as myself. I began to talk to everyone in the community and going to meetings. S.L.A. helped me find work and offered up transport to and from. The staff here became a major lifeline to me, always greeting me with a kind word and a positive attitude. I spent a long, long time, completely broken and lost. I am proud to report to anyone who might read this, that I am 11 months Clean and Sober. Not only am I still at S.L.A., I am proceeding to become a staff member of the very program which is responsible for giving me hope and saving my life in every way. At S.L.A, I learned that all is not lost, and with a little effort and some honest work, happiness, serenity, and sobriety is possible. My very life belongs to S.L.A. and all it stands for. Thank you S.L.A. Keep fighting "The Good Fight".

S.L.A. Resident,

This place is great! The Atlanta campus may not be the newest facility, but this place is clean and the staff truly cares about you. They took me in from detox where i had no where to go and the slightest bit of will to live. People bash recovery programs all the time thinking they have found and easier softer way. If they have then bless them, but more then likely they haven’t. BLESS EM
Thank God for places like Sober Living America if not i probably wouldn’t be here today and for just that i reason i am forever grateful!

I'm very thankful for this program in spite of everything that's going on sla had made a big change in my life.

Atlanta Sober Living America ...
I was a mess when i walked into the doors of sober living america , I was welcomed by everybody in the office and instantly felt like i was really welcome for once in my life , After my intake was done Alexis and Berkeley walked me to my apartment and once again i felt welcome there all the girls welcomed me and told me if i needed anything that i just needed to ask it wasn't what i expected but iam so glad i came to sober living the meetings are wonderful and i love everything about this place ive been here a little over 3 months and i love it . Best thing i ever did for myself in years

I can honestly say i love this place!!!!!! I came to SLA as a resident. I never knew such a place existed. I was welcome with open loving arms. They taught me to love myself, and to love others. I was shown the tools i needed to stay sober. Now i volunteer for them. Its by far the most rewarding thing i have ever done. I get to help other people with the same disease i have. To me nothing beats watching someone come thru the door beaten down and broken like i was. And to see those same people 30 days later, they have life back in there eyes. They believe in themselves as i believe in them. Some come in without their family's wanting nothing to do with them. We love them and help them. And more often than not their family's see the change in them and come back into their lives. I can not say enough good things about this place.

Heres to the place that saved my life! I came here right after detox(Charlotte) was so very grateful. Had nowhere to go and wanted to get clean and get my life back. Today i am doing well and on the right track. Well on the way, but still have a ways to go, but as long as i know to do the deal and stay where i'm at, I will be back on top! Thanks to the staff at SLA and everyone that has been a part of my road to recovery.

This guy must have been one of the unfortunate residents who could not do the deal. I pray for him. I have had a total change in my attitude and outlook upon life since i have come to Sober Living. I have done 10 plus years in the federal prison and after i got out still was hooked right back on the drugs. Since being welcomed in the Charlotte community i have developed a manner of living that i thought was not possible. Honesty, open- mindness, and willingness are key's to my program. With the help of Steve & Cassy i now have almost a year Sober & it has totally saved my life. Being a leader here in Charlotte is an awesome way i can give back what this program has totaly given to me. My freedom and happiness is a gift of my higher power and Sober Living America.

My name is Jack Neil I am from Sanford, NC. I moved to Tampa to get a fresh start. I have been in many rehab and drug programs and i can say i feel like this one is one of best ive been in so far. The staff members are very helpful, and care very much about your well being. I believe i have found a place to call home here in Florida. But it only works if you work it!

This place is amazing. I am so blessed to have found Sober Living Greenville. I cant believe how much my life has turned around. I lost everything in active addiction. Through this program i have rebuilt my shattered life. I have restored relationship with my family i thought i couldn't get back. As soon i i walk through the door i was helped never judge, loved never rejected. The staff and the community as a while are both loving and encouraging. I have real friendships here. This place is my safe haven.

I can honestly say i love this place!!!!!! I came to SLA as a resident. I never knew such a place existed. I was welcome with open loving arms. They tought me to love myself, and to love others. I was shown the tools i needed to stay sober. Now i volunteer for them. Its by far the most rewarding thing i have ever done. I get to help other people with the same disease i have. To me nothing beats watching someone come thru the door beaten down and broken like i was. And to see those same people 30 days later, they have life back in there eyes. They beleave in themselves as i beleave in them. Some come in without their familys wanting nothing to do with them. We love them and help them. And more often than not their familys see the change in them and come back into their lives. I can not say enough good things about this place.

Greenville SLA is the best Sober Living program I have ever known to work and live. I have a purpose though this program and my ability to help others with addiction. From the first day I walked in the doors of Sober Living America I experienced a love and compassion i have never known before. I was immediately plugged into recovery and the twelve steps. They helped me get a job and learn independence. They taught me how to live not just exist without the use of any mind/mood altering substances. I once thought of condition as hopeless. I found that wasn't the case.I found myself in this program. I am currently in Sober Living America Greenville location. I went from a hopeless , homeless addict to to someone i can be proud of. I hold this place, their program , and staff members close to my heart for everything they have done for me.For not giving up on me when everyone else has. I am so blessed to be apart of SLA Greenville, SC.

At first I was nervous and scared when I came to SLA. After a few days I could already feel at home and knew I was accepted for exactly who I was. I feel like I have a new family and group of brothers and sisters who accept me and care about me with no expectations in return. I am very thankful for a program like SLA for giving me a chance to turn my life around before it's too late. If you're ready for a new life for only yourself and no one else but yourself, SLA is a great place to learn to live again!

This place is truly a blessing. Since i have been at the Charlotte facility i was able to find a sponsor and my family allows my kids to talk to me. I came in broken and in despair. Today i hold my head high and know that i am a loved child of God. Thanks Sober Living America.

After my mom kicked me out and told me I was pretty much worthless, I found myself at Charlotte SLA. I have been to so many places before but I have never been treated with love like I have here. Besides the fact that the apartments and vans are clean and the staff rock, they really mean they love us until we love ourselves. Cassy has loved on me since the moment I got here and really treated me like I'm at home. Recently, I got 30 days sober and Cassy and Steve celebrated that with my community in our community meeting. Cassy fed me for a week when I first got here and then went out and found places for us to get food and helped us get hooked up with food stamps.I came in with no clothes.

Cassy helped me get clothes and shoes for work. She went out and advocated at church for us and when we go to church now they sit us together and make us feel so at home. One of the ladies at the front desk last Sunday came and hugged all of us, she said that she had heard how amazing we are and how much love Cassy has for us when she talks about us to them. It made me cry to think that someone cares about me that much,It's been a really long time since anyone's been happy to see me. I got saved Sunday, SLA really did help me find myself and my God.

Most of us here came in with nothing and no one and now we have this huge family who love and fellowship together. They care about us here, like really care. It's not some professional telling me what i ought do, it's Cassy and Steve doing the deal and showing us how to do this recovery thing. They are also pretty hilarious and so positive. I can't speak for any other community but I can say here in Charlotte we are so thankful for all you do for us. Thank you for giving me a chance and having me be apart of this thing, by far the best thing that's ever happened to me.

I have been in multiple treatment centers in the years that I have been using. Although it is a struggle sometimes to live with other addicts, especially the ones who are here for the wrong reason, it has been a eye opening experience for me. SLA has been by far the best facility because I have learned so much about my self and my addiction to learn how to stay sober. At times I have struggled but it has helped me learn and grow in my recovery. I am so grateful for the staff and SLA for being so forgiving, patient and tolerant of me while I have been here. I know that I have not been the easiest person to deal with. They have always remained positive and understanding even when my own family has not. Thanks SLA

Sober Living America in Tampa has completely changed my life! I have been to a few rehabs before but only to satisfy a judge or family member. Since being here, for the first time in my life I have learned the twelve steps and use them in my daily life. This community has welcomed me from the moment I got out of my mother's car. I'm grateful for EVERYTHING this program is doing for me and people like me. I haven't been sober in 10 years, and this feels AMAZING!!!! Due to my background NO ONE WOULD HIRE ME OR GIVE ME A CHANCE AT ALL. I am Computer Science Engineer with a Bachelors and people still treated me like I wasn't capable of doing anything because of my felonies. Since being here Christy lifted me back up and helped me regain my self confidence. She believed in me when no one else did. I have been given the opportunity to go through training here in order to become a member of staff, and I absolutely love the work I am able to do here to help others that are still on the streets struggling. I can now wake up every morning smiling, sober, and motivated. Thank you Jesus!!!! Thank you Sober Living America!!!!

To whom it may concern,
Recently my life did a 180 after relapsing in January, I thought I hit the bottom floor of my life spending almost 13 years here in a Florida prison. Not so, after losing both my son and his mother in the worst drinking binge of my life along with totaling my car and spending all my money I went into a very dark place and could not stop drinking.
I ended up in a detox center in Savannah,Ga. and was directed to Sober Living of America in Tampa,Fl. Change or course isn't always comfortable and I've experienced a LOT of change in my life but
when I walked into SLA of Tampa I was greeted by Nicki M. and instantly I felt like I WAS NO LONGER ALONE.
Since being here my life has changed dramatically and I have finally found PEACE. The staff and management truly CARE!!! They've been there through their own experience and they share that experience, strength, and hope on a daily basis. Gratitude is my attitude today and I'm moving forward ONE DAY AT A TIME!!!!
Thank you S.L.A.

I drink for over 36 years. I was not able to get sober. I was in and out of all kinds of places and none of them would do me no good. I came in the doors of Sober Living America and I still try doing things my way and that did not help me at all. I was told one day if I would just trying to do things my way and just started working on recovery things would get better. I dug a big hole for my self and I could not get out. I had not place to go. I leave on the street and had no money. I was told it would not be easy. They said I would have to do a lot of work. And they said that I would have to go to work to pay my way. It was hard but I am so glad that I had to do the work because it made it a lot better for me. People say that it not for them but I am so glad that I had to do it because all of the great things I have in my life today because of S.L.A. You have to work for your recovery. Thank you all for all the hard love that you gave me. You guys what save my life. I put myself there and no one gave me a thing. I am so glad for that. You have to do the foot work and God will do the rest.

I came to work with Sober Living America after doing contract video work with Jim and Cassy in 2013. From the very first time I met with them at their Atlanta location, I have been greatly impacted by the amazing work they are doing in the addiction community. I have heard from countless members in the community that they helped save their lives- by providing them with a second chance at getting their life back on track. This is an organization truly focused on getting individuals sober- not a spa or resort for people to go to say they are in recovery. It is so rare to find a place that will take individuals right away, regardless of their financial situations- which is exactly the principle SLA was founded on. Truly, this is an organization that is focused on changing lives and doing all they can for their community.

Sober Living America is a sober living community that allows men and women that struggle with alcohol and/or drug addiction to live in an environment that promotes sobriety, stability and responsibility. I needed a "safe" place that had a zero tolerance for alcohol and/or drug use. I needed to be in a place that would require more accountability for me that just going straight back home would. I wanted to become employable again and learn to be responsible with the money I earned. The time I have spent at Sober Living America has allowed all this and much more to happen for me. I have become am employable person, my self esteem is much improved and I have found happiness without drugs and/alcohol. The love of the other residents here, held me over until I could love myself, which was a process that, I believe, has been possible thru working the twelve steps of A.A. I know this is an ongoing journey that will continue for the rest of my life and that with God's help and the fellowship I can don this one day at a time.

I chose Sober Living America for long term recovery because my initial phone call to seek help was nothing but helpful. Amanda, the intake coordinator, immediately grabbed my attention as she explained strength and hope to me through this program. I was sold! When I arrived, I was a mess. Monty and April, two staff members, were unbelievably nice to me and went out of their way to help, and at that time I had no idea that they were staff members. I have been here for 2 months now, and am in the middle of working the steps, having daily engagements with my sponsor, and have been reconnected with my High Power. I am forever grateful for a organization like this that will take anyone, even without a job/money/food/clothes, and breathe life into this killer disease.

Came to Sober Living beat down and ashamed. Was greeted by the community with open arms. Worked the 12 steps and got plugged in with the fellowship. Have had a total spiritual awakening and couldn't be happy with the way my new life in sobriety has turned out.

I had spent over 15 years of my life drinking beer morning, noon and night, and had finally lost everything over a DUI. When no one else would consider helping me without insurance, Sober Living welcomed me in with open arms and gave me the tools to start living a sober lifestyle. I call it organized freedom community living.
You are given the opportunity to take your life seriously and beat addiction once and for all. Working and paying bills is a part of real life, having to work some humbling jobs at times pays for your program fees and also allows the next person to come in without a dime to their name. Once you have settled in, their Career Development program will work with you and your skills and help place you in a rewarding job.
I can't thank this community enough for all they have done for me and the countless people I have seen come through the doors!

This is what save my life. I would not be alive to with out this place. Still work to help the next person.

Hi - I'm Jim deVarennes - President & Founder of Sober Living America. Since this is a review, I’ll try to be as objective and unbiased as I can, but I have to admit, I feel absolutely blessed & humbled to be part of working with a great group of caring volunteers who serve families in distress in our communities.
Okay – some good stuff about Sober Living America.
The Good:
Our leadership has been doing this since 1994. I guess what that means is we made a bunch of mistakes and prayerfully hope that we have learned from those mistakes. We have also tested many systems for years, and we really do know how to help people find recovery and rebuild their families.
I love the Vision of Sober Living America……
Vision: No Money – No Problem.
For those interested, In 1993 I witnessed a young man enter a sober living facility looking for help. He had his wife & 5 year old girl. I had a 5 year old girl at the time. They told him that he would have to have money, and that it would take 3 weeks before they could help. His head dropped into his hands, his wife hugged him and cried, and the little girl ran up and asked, “Why are you crying mommy”. That was it for me. I had already seen hundreds turned away, but when I saw the impact on the family, my life was changed. God puts things on your heart sometimes, and I believe I was called to serve. Heck, most of us have been affected by a loved one or friend that has suffered. We all know someone.

I Love the Daily Classes at Sober Living.
We have a 7:00 am spiritual, 8:30 Big Book, 12:00 Outside AA/NA meeting, 2:00 DVD with Andy Stanley, and an 8:00 outside AA/NA meeting. It’s effective.

I Love our Community Partners
These are business leaders who give our residents another chance for a career and support our organization.

I Love the Volunteers
This group works to provide housing, utilities, food, recovery services, transportation, and work development – regardless of people’s financial condition. Gotta love that! They are amazing! Visit them at www.soberlivingamerica.org.

I could keep saying good things and talk about No Waiting List, but it would start to sound like a commercial not a a review.

The Bad:

Our facilities are tired and need improving. It’s happening, but I seem to want everything yesterday.

Our programs can always be more engaging. We are working on that – one day at a time.

All of us Volunteers seemed to forget sometimes (myself included), that God is in charge, that there is a bit of good in the worst of us, a bit of bad in the best of us, but we are all children of God and we have a right to be here. (That’s from the AA Big Book – Dr. Paul O – great man).

Come see us – checks us out for yourself. We belong to our community, always pray that we serve families in need with love and compassion. Jim
