My name is Scott V. I am an alcoholic with 5 months sober
Without the help of sober living I might not be alive today. This place was exactly what I needed when I got out of treatment care. The structured life and help they provide is life changing. Came here with no money. They helped find me a job. Provided transportation to and from work also to meetings everyday and church on Sunday
Great curricula program also. If you need help and want to give living a clean life. It's a good place to start

My name is Thomas Mull. I came to Sober Living of America on August 27, 2024. Since coming to the program, my life has changed so much. I was homeless and being here in Sober Living of America Newnan Campus has been a life saving blessing to me. I have a full time job, I attend both AA, NA, Church, and Community Meetings. Mr. Warren and Mrs. Brenda have been amazing staff here that care about us and our journey in our recovery. Thank you for all you have done in my life.

I graduated from a six month rehab then was released with no money, or job, or even a place to go. SLA took me in and through their program I was able to find work, get a car back, and begin planning for the next stage of my life. I’m thankful for this program and recommend it to anyone who is SERIOUS about recovery.

I am very grateful for SLA. I finally feel as though I can breathe. I can exhale...
Not to mention that the feeling of being able to give back is truly amazing

Almost 3 years ago I made the call to the help center that completely changed the trajectory of my life. I had hit bottom AGAIN. I'd exhausted relationships with family, my own son who was 13 at the time was even done with me, I had no money, and the only 2 outcomes I could see for myself was prison or death. I was on probation, had violated, and there was a high likelihood that the outcome of the court proceedings was going to mean many years behind bars. So, to be honest death seemed like the more preferable option. I was tired. I was physically and emotionally tired, tired of constantly trying and failing, of constantly getting my families hopes up and letting them down. Tired of failing as a mother, a daughter, hell as a human - and I definitely didn't want to live out the next 20+ years in prison, so ending it all was definitely tempting. But, obviously I didn't go that route. I decided for my son, my family, and myself I'd at least try.. one...more.. time. Before I left detox I got back on depression medication and set to calling a safe option to go to. Going home wasn't an option, I wouldn't last and I knew it. I'd been in recovery before, had a couple years under my belt, had worked the 12 steps... but I'd slowly stopped doing them. A problem I had was balancing life with what it meant to BE in recovery. Plus I was a heroin addict... so I ended up lying to myself thinking "I can drink alcohol, no big deal... I won't drink the same way I used." Wasn't long after drinking occasionally turned into daily, and excessively, then I was right back to using heroin. So before leaving detox, I heard of SLA, made the call and qualified and the rest is history. Because they don't require money upfront, the fact my family was loving me from a distance didn't matter. I was able to do it on my own, as far as the financial part. SLA allowed me to be in a place that while offering some accountability and supervision, I wasn't cutoff from society with life completely on hold. You get to still feel 'normal'. To live in an apartment, work a job, have a cellphone, go to the store, have over-night passes. These are all "small" things, but to those that have been in other treatment programs you understand what I mean. To those that have been to jail or prison, you get what I'm saying. People can sometimes be reluctant to go into "treatment" because they think certain rules are privileges are "rights" and fight against the guidelines that are in place. SLA has some rules, curfews, etc but it's not so rigorous that I find it unreasonable. Not for what you can get out of being here. Now don't get me wrong, it's not "perfect" at any of the locations. No program is. But the way I look at it, is you can go into one of these locations looking to pick it apart or have a victim mentality and completely miss out on the bottom-line. The bottom-line being it's a safe environment, safer than the streets.. safer than sleeping in your car, under a bridge, couch hopping, or at the mercy of yourself with no recovery. The bottom-line is you can come in with NO MONEY UPFRONT and have a roof over your head, lights and water, transportation to a job that you don't have to go out and find, transportation to recovery meetings where you can find a sponsor that will take you through the steps, and a curriculum that if you will honestly dig into it will help change your mindset. To be honest, there's more... but it requires an attitude of gratitude to see it. And it requires willingness and humility to really get anything out of it - and that's going to be true regardless of where you go. Today, for me, because I made that call to the helpcenter - I will have 3 years sober in September. I am happily married and in a HEALTHY relationship with trust, support and partnership. We both have our family back in our lives, a child on the way, and are at a place now where we can continue to grow and invest in a future. I don't believe this would have been the outcome if SLA had not been a resource that was available to me, so for that I am extremely grateful!

I have been with Sober Living for almost 5 years. It has been a great journey for me both spiritually and for my sobriety. This program has played a vital role in helping me get plugged into both God and a Recovery network that spans over multiple states. I highly recommend this program to anyone that is looking to get out of the grips of addiction and start a new way of life.

SLA saved my life. I was broken, on the verge of losing literally everything, and close to serving time in prison. As scared as I was, I came in a gave it a shot. This was in 2020. I never left. Still haven't. This place gives you the extra accountability you need while giving you space to also grown on your own terms. I had to relearn how to be an adult, and they held my hand every step of the way. I don't even want to think about where I would be right now if I had never found Sober Living America.

I have been with Sober Living America for close to 2 years, this time around. To me it has been a complete life changer. I have been a guest at several different locations and have learned something positive from each of them. The fact that they really do give second, and sometimes 5th and 6th, chances is amazing. And their "no money, no problem' policy to get in was extremely helpful. I would recommend this place to any and everyone who is struggling with a drug or alcohol problem.

I recently had the chance to stay at Sober Living America in Tampa, FL, and it was an incredibly positive and transformative experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and supported, largely due to David in guest services. David's dedication to ensuring every guest feels at home is truly remarkable. He goes above and beyond to address any concerns and provide the necessary resources for a comfortable stay.

Equally impressive is Charley, the director, whose leadership is marked by genuine care and commitment to each individual's recovery journey. Charley's approach is both compassionate and effective, creating an environment where residents can thrive.

The entire operation is seamlessly guided by Thomas, the regional director, whose wise and strategic oversight ensures that all aspects of the program run smoothly. His vision for Sober Living America is evident in the quality of care and the supportive community atmosphere.

One of the standout aspects of the program is the emphasis on building a strong, supportive community. The weekly bowling nights and beach trips are not only enjoyable but also essential in fostering a sense of camaraderie and mutual support among residents. These activities provide a healthy outlet for stress and an opportunity to bond with others on the same path to recovery.

Adding to the overall experience is the fantastic climate of Tampa. With its warm, sunny weather year-round, Tampa offers an uplifting and invigorating environment perfect for outdoor activities and fostering a positive mindset.

Overall, Sober Living America in Tampa, FL, is a remarkable facility that offers comprehensive support for those seeking recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. With dedicated staff like David and Charley, under the wise direction of Thomas, residents are in excellent hands as they work towards a healthier, sober life.

The most pro⁵fit non profit organization I've ever encountered. Visit guidestar.org. the regional director showing favoritism when a fratanization occurred the man was allowed to stay. Extremely unprofessional they put additional in management that are not ready for the position. It's pretty much a way to make money off the needy people who need help . There is no one on one help or help to find the true reason for their addition so they can correct their issues.

Its has gave me a new found life in working the step to live better every day I wake up

Sober Living America will always be my family! I wasn't sure what to expect, but once I got there, it was the greatest decision I ever made. They taught me how to love myself. They taught me that I was worth recovery. They showed me how to live my life clean and sober and what steps I needed to take to do so. I can't even imagine where I would be today if I had never decided to take their offer on a new and better way of life.

It helped me get a job, have stable housing and stay sober

St Louis location so great it saved my life helping me get my life back on track

My experience with Sober Living America has been great and very supportive. I am from Sober Living America STL and my director is Judy Moua and she is the best.

I came here to Atlanta Women's SLA, homeless from a Detox Center for Alcoholism. I was scared, homeless, and nervous. From the very first I was made to feel welcomed and loved. I just finished the 6 month course and will stay here as long as possible as I consider it home. I love the women here and try to be as welcoming to them as I was welcomed. The staff (Misty, Jen, and Karrie) are very helpful and extremely nice.

I have not been here lonh but so far it is GREAT !! they have provided me with work, transportation to work and all my meetings while also helping me learn how to stay off drugs and live a normal productive life !! And best of all i didnt need a dollar to come here !! They have provided me with everything !!

This place is not good for recovering addicts.I was there.They are a BUSINESS!I got kicked out for talking to a female.The true reason is because I was black.Also they lied about the reason I got kicked out to keep my money.They said I was selling drugs! They stole my money by lying!!! Please call me and I will show you proof they lied to take my money..I am teaming up with every organization that wants this program shut down..You should not exploit addicted people..

No place is perfect but after coming to sober living america in Macon, GA has changed and helped my life. Meeting many different individuals with many different situations let's me know that I'm not alone and there is help out there. All SLA members treated me with respect and help me with my tuff times through my recovery. I'm truly blessed to have come here

Ramirez Williams thanks

At the Chicago location and they have saved my life. Zach and Greg are always helping me even when I had lost hope in myself. Grateful.

Sober living america saved my life help me get sober and gave me tools and recourses to keep me sober as well as financial responsible.

This organization helps so many people. No money, no problem. They also promote from within. Saved my life. Very resourceful in the community, help get you to work and save money.

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.

This program is awesome. The staff there are great. They helped me out alot. It's one of the best places you can recover overall. It's a clean and safe environment with resources that can change your life. I would definitely refer anyone who may dealing with addiction and wants to change their life.

I'm at the Birmingham AL location and this place saved me when I was in the most vulnerable situation I've been in. I couldn't recommend this place enough for anyone trying to find recovery.

I'm at the St Louis location. This is a great place to stay clean and sober. SLA offers so much more than the other programs I've been to. They actually care about my sobriety. If you want to learn how to stay clean I encourage you to give them a call.

Many people are complaining about SLA these days, but to be honest with you, "there are no perfect programs" However, if you are ready to get sober, back to work, or go to school and get on course with your life, SLA is the place for you. I am a proud graduate and I have been able to achieve many of my goals. SLA's curriculum has made a significant impact on my life-I have 253 days of clean time and became an AA Sponsor. All Programs Work If You Work It.

This place saved my life.They help you when other places can't. They get you a bed, help with employment, take you to meetings it's an amazing opportunity to get sober and back on your feet.They offer fellowship and friendship when you need it the most.

Hello. This is for Sober Living of America in Greensboro North Carolina. I am a current tenant of this facility. This program has inconsistent meetings. There is no morning meetings and I am told I only have to attend the meeting at 7:00pm. This is absured. People care about their recovery. I care enough to mention this world wide to ensure the safety and care of others. Thank you for investigating

Sober living America was been a huge tribute to my recovering process from drinking.and drugs.i was in a bad place when I first heard of sla they offered to pay for my ticket to Jacksonville 2 and but me up.i have grown as a person and more importantly have stayed sober and working the program to my best ability and have made a group of new friends that are going through some of the. Stuff I am

Absolutely Amazing place to get your life back. Come as you are and they will get you where you’re met to be in life. Specifically the Jacksonville 2 location has great management. Mike is a dedicated guy in recovery that just wants to be a helping hand in your life. Stop struggling in silence and call SLA!!!!

I've been here for a while now and it's really a good place to be I've been able to really work the 12 step program and I have a great group of friends that really care this is it man it works

This is a good place to get on your feet if you're really trying to get sober

I am blessed to be at Sober Living America. Here you will learn to cultivate spiritual principles and
a willingness to cultivate them. Our fellowship of like minded individuals is what makes us unique and allows us to support one another in our journey to sobriety. I came here with nothing and here I am gaining everything it's a 6 phase program but many stay for years they don't have enough ������ s to rate as we call it SLA

Sober Living America has truly changed my life for the better. I am so grateful for this program, and my community here in Houston TX. I love being of service to others, and the rewards I get in return. If it wasn't for SLA, I would not be alive and sober today. God is good!

Sober Living America is a program that really cares about everyone who comes through it's doors. They helped me get food stamps and I went to work quickly. They even purchased a pair of steel toes so I could start working. This program changed my life and it can change yours too if you're ready for a change!

I came here as a person beaten down by addiction. With nothing in my possession except a bit of hope and willingness, I quickly began to realize this place was just the new begining I so desperately wanted. This organization asked me for no money up front, provided a safe place to live, lined me up with a job, and even provided transportation. I don't know of another sober living in Houston that provides transportation to and from work. This place is for people who are ready to work an honest program, and are willing to do things not just to stay clean and sober, but to learn life skills.

My name is Mickey, I'm so blessed to be a part of this wonderful program that has helped me restore my life. They have helped me build a steady foundation and the tools on which to create a better life upon. By introducing me to a sober network to create new relationships with people that help me stay on this path with God by my side and understanding that I need to have him in my life and surrendering my life and complete will over to him. They have also helped me have accountability In my life choice to help ensure on resetting my ways of thinking to be able to pause before making decisions and to play the tape forward to make the right choices.

SLA has changed my life! The principles behind the program are Godly and extraordinary. I came to SLA from another center and was greeted with kindness and love. They give you all the tools you need to succeed and focus on God, Sobriety and life skills to help everyone integrate back into successful members of society. I hope to continue to thrive In the program and give back what has been so freely given to me.

Sober Living America has saved my life in so many ways, not just one. I came here with the intention of just staying clean and sober. I came in doing what I was supposed to do and this amazing company took a chance on me and I've now worked for SLA as a director for nearly five years! Coming here made me realize that God's purpose for me was to help others and I decided to run with it. Thanks to SLA, I've learned not only how to stay sober one day at a time, but to put God first and to put others before myself. I am truly grateful for SLA and all they do to help people!!

I found out about Sober Living America in December of 2008. Arrived in Jacksonville 12/8/22 and was welcomed with no judgment to a clean and welcoming facility. Since then I’ve been introduced to the program of AA and have been given all of the tools necessary to live a happy and healthy life while being a contributing member of society. I would highly recommend this program to anyone battling addiction for anyone that has a loved one who is.

SLA has taught me how to utilize the tools of recovery to stay sober. It has allowed me.to use the tools.in a safe environment with some structure so that I can use them on my own in everyday life. Would recommend this program to anyone who has had enough and is willing to take suggestions that will save your life and create a whole new one to enjoy.

Im glad I had the chance to go to the Nashville Men's campus and completed their program. The staff is amazing! They have introduced me to myself. They have helped to get to the root of my problems so that I can now recover. I don’t know who this person is that I am becoming. But I LIKE him. If you are willing to be challenged and do some research/work on yourself and you are seeking sobriety, they will guide you on your journey!

I went to SLA in Atlanta as a last ditch effort to turn my life around. I'd lost everything & everyone a person can lose in life. I had no one. Nothing. I was a lost cause. A wasted life My whole family had washed their hands of me & I was beyond lost. I had nowhere on the planet to go. Then I went to SLA Atlanta. The Women's Director in Atl, as of Feb2023 talked such a good game. I fell for her facade bc I so desperately needed what SLA FALSELY PROMISED ME. I abided by the rules. I got clean&sober. I didn't fraternize. Did my Big Book & Step Work. Went to church. Groups. Meetings. Then after several weeks, my family could see a difference in me. Saw how hard I was working the program. Saw that I had finally found a place that was helping me get back to being me. There was no excuses, no incidents, etc. Just me doin the dang thing. THEY CAME TO SEE ME IN PERSON AFTER NOT EVEN TALKING TO ME FOR OVER 2 YRS! I WAS ON TOP OF THE WORLD. Then the Director of the Atl Women's Campus ruined everything for me. She literally kicked me out for accidentally spilling my cup of ice water in church. I WAS LITERALLY KICKED OUT OF THE PROGRAM FOR DROPPING A CUP OF ICE WATER ON THE FLOOR IN CHURCH. I DID NOT BREAK ANY RULES, DID NOTHING WRONG AND SHE KICKED ME OUT ONTO THE STREETS WHICH IN TURN, ALMOST KILLED ME.

If you want to get yourself cleaned from drugs and alcohol? SLA provides the tools to do so. It's a great program but you have to be willing to get your life back together. They do provide jobs and take you back and forth to meetings. You will not find a better program for what they charge. I'm at the Birmingham campus and I love it here.

When I came to Sla it was the only program that would except me at the time. Since then my recovery has grown immensely! Here at the Tampa 2 location I have found peace in my sobriety.

SLA has gone above and beyond helping me stay sober and staying plugged into recovery. They provide transportation to and from work, doctor appointments, meetings and stores. They have kept me encouraged and motivated - excited about recovery, and prayed over me. I’ve been to other drug rehabs and lived in other sober living environments, but SLA is a game changer. I can’t say enough good about this program!

When I came to Sober Living America, I was in all sense of the word...hopeless...I had nothing to my name or in my pocket...I had more than a broken spirit...They truly welcomed me with open arms...they took care of my immediate needs IE...Food stamps, clothing, food bank...they even helped place me into a job...Within the first 5 days I had been assisted with finding a sponsor, getting an AA Big Book and 12&12...and with the on property meetings, they helped lead me into a closer relationship with God and truly gave my life hope and meaning again...to this day I am still a part of AA and have been sober a little over a year...I can't completely thank AA for my recovery...but I can damn sure give them the credit they deserve for holding out their hand and showing me the way based on spiritual principles and suggestions! If you know a friend, co-worker or family member suffering with addiction...I highly recommend referring them to SOBER LIVING AMERICA.

The past couple years, as flown by and I have nothing to show for it , except burned bridges with family , I smoked meth everyday all day , never missing a beat , me and my gf lived the high life and those 2 years flew by , before I could even blink , I wrecked ,/lost 3 different vehicles, had multiple jobs , used and abused ,and stole from My family, I hit rock bottom, it was either jail or rehab , I was so lost ,but I made the decision , sober living is where I ended up and I can tell you that my life had done 180 degree turn , in just 20 day all I had to do is nothing, and stop using , you will be amazed the amount of help you will receive once in here , give it a shot it's worth it , and I can say that it's a much better choice than jail ,or worse dead

I'm at the Tampa 2 location. My experience has been great. Everyone seems to genuinely care about me and my recovery.

Very friendly and helpful place I can't describe how much they have impacted my life I am very grateful for the opportunity and have already recommended ASL to multiple people

Words does not even describe how wonderful the Dallas SAL program is ran.
Extremely professional. Understanding && treat everyone diligently������
I’ll highly recommend the DallasSAL to anyone who’s in need , b/c I’m truly appreciative && grateful for how the program have change my life������������������������������������

Hey I am CJ wood and I am at Tampa too and I just wanted to let you guys know that this place is saved my life I wasn't on board at first but now I'm SLA all the way the staff are absolutely amazing I can go to them with anything any issue that I have and this is my home and I'm safe and I have a warm bed to sleep in and I have everything I need and when I don't have everything I need all I have to do is ask and it is given freely thank you so much for having me and thank you so much for loving on me I couldn't have made it without this place and I'm sober today because of SLA

I've been feeding my addiction since I was a 10 year old boy and woke up early in February and decided that at age 37, I needed to leave that behind. I was an educator but my addictions became so severe that I could not in good conscious continue molding the young minds under my charge. After a long road in detox centers I decided that I could not enter society and expect different behaviors from myself without seeking help, so I decided against going back to my hometown or my adopted hometown and wound up in Atlanta. This organization has welcomed me with open arms and given me a new lease on life. They've given me structure, community and, most importantly, the tools I need to continue my sobriety in effective and efficient ways. If it weren't for such a caring community, my demons would most certainly overtake me and I'd be back at square one...fighting to survive the relentless grips of this disease. Being here has given me the want to carry out God's will and helped me set achievable short term goals and the desire to get back to what what I was born to do: teaching.

I am new to Tampa 2 and have never been happier. The focus on Recovery here comes from a kind, loving place. Staff is fantastic and always makes time for each and every client. The campus is beautiful. SLA is changing my life. I have purpose, hope and peace.

It is a great place for someone who wants too get their life in order and get off drugs and alcohol they have a great support system and people who really love you and are willing and ready to help you get to the next level in your journey

I'm at the Tampa 2 location and this place has helped a bunch in my sobriety. The staff is wonderful. And the people here are great. Looking forward to my time here!!

I came to SLA in desperate need of sobriety, the staff welcomed me with open and encouraged me throughout the process. The best thing about SLA is they allow you have regain a sense of dignity. No matter how low you think you are they will give you the opportunity to rebuild your life through recovery. Coming to SLA is the best decision could have made.

I'm currently at SLA's Tampa 2 location. SLA has been a huge part of my success. They have provided me with a safe, clean, respectful place to live. Provided me with a fantastic job and transportation to amazing meetings. I've been able to establish a good relationship with my children again. Thanks to the supportive staff at SLA I am now on the right path in recovery.

I realized on my life's journey that i have come to a great place. Before i was a self centered and a lousy drunk. I came here at SLA 4.5 years ago and talk about a real life changer . SLA has Showed me the way through AA to stay clean and sober. I also connected a relationship with Jesus my lord and savior.

SLA is a amazing program love it and everyone is very helpful and very nice glad I made this my choice to come here

I feel the program is very incitefull. And the tools they give you seem to pe help full. I think it will help me to be a more productive citizen.

I have been living at Sober Living America for over a year now. They helped me in finding work, building a sense of community, and most importantly staying sober. The location I stay at is in Tampa FL, and the staff here are very kind and extremely helpful. I'm glad they were here when I needed help and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for help when it seems noone is there for you.

I came to SLA in 2018 and it has truly changed my life. Since I've been here I have been introced to the AA program and now have a relationship with God. I have gained the tools I needed to learn to stay sober. My family is now back in my life and I'm very grateful. Without God, SLA and AA this would not be possible. I highly reccomend anyone struggling with addiction to call SLA.

Sober Living America gave me the tools I needed to be successful in my recovery to stay sober with purpose full of loving motivation. SLA Savannah gave me routine and structure teaching me how to apply skills I was seeking so that I could get my life manageable and maintain sobriety through the 12 steps and faith in God. The teachers here have the best interests and sincerely want all of the members to succeed. I got another chance at life and am truly grateful to this program. Mr. Walter Banks, Mr. Chris Hutto, Mr. J. Jerema have made a big impact in my life and I have the upper most gratitude for them, THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND EVERYONE IN THE PROGRAM! I love my life and love God. I wish everyone a healthy and full recovery one day at a time. God bless with love. - Jordan Vargas

I'm glad to be a part of a group of human beings who are trying for change. Big up to Walter Banks and the staff for truly wanting these men to succeed. So grateful for the St. George group of Savannah SLA.

Sober Living was the best decision I could have made to better my life. I’m so grateful for them. I am at the Savannah location and it has been just a great and new experience for me

I've been with this program for little over 6 months now. When I started my program back in NC I didn't think I would make it. But I put one foot in front of the other and kept pushing. I now live in Tampa and live a clean and serene life. Sober living of America has giving me the tools to change every area in my life. From self-care on down to getting out of my own way to help others. I would recommend this program to everyone who suffers from the disease of addiction. The staff cares about the residents as if they were family. I'm truly grateful for SLA.

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 came to SLA because I was badly addicted to several substances. Once I arrived the staff treated me like a friend and they really cared about my well being. They provided meetings on property and off. They provided for me what I could not do for myself. I am glad I made the decision to come to SLA.

I am at the Tampa1 location. I cam to Sober Living America to stay for a month. This organization not only changed my life, but also saved my life. I have been here ever since. That was 8 years ago.

I came to Sober Living America almost 17 months ago with nothing but a suit case full of practically nothing, I was homeless, hopeless, and addicted. I was fighting a CPS case for my youngest child strung out on meth and heroin and couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. Since my stay as a resident, working the 24 week curriculum based program, my involvement with Alcoholics Anonymous and my wonderful sponsor I finally have a life worth living today. I started out as nothing when I came here and now I am the Program Director of one of our Houston locations. I am present for my children today, I trust God today, and most importantly I get to help others today and give back what was so freely given to me from Sober Living America today. If you are struggling with addiction or have a loved one that is, Sober Living America offers the opportunity to break the vicious cycle of addiction and I would encourage any and every one to come to SLA to find a new way to live.

I’ve been at Sober Living America for about 6 months now and can honestly say, “this program is the reason I’m Sober and able to carry on”. Sober Living America has been the roof over my head, the meetings that helped my mind, and the Community that made me feel like family, Because of their Staff and Residents and Community; my mind, body, and spirit are stronger and more at peace then ever before.

I came into SLA with a duffel bag and not much hope or even desire to go on. I was struggling mentally, emotionally, financially and spiritually. As soon as I sat down to do my intake at the Marietta 1 campus I knew immediately that this was home. SLA was my why and I felt it instantaneously. So often in my addiction I struggled with why I was still alive and why I hadn’t been arrested and so many other why questions. When I came to SLA I found out why. Shortly after my arrival I was presented with the opportunity to come on to staff as a Guest Service trainee and I did. I went through training and learned invaluable information while gaining memorable experiences. The instructors are compassionate about recovery and it shows. But even more than simple recovery, they are compassionate period. Kenneth, Jerry, Tiffany, Caylan, Danny, Jason, and Justin are just a few of the amazing staff members and teachers who passed on knowledge to me that I have been able to use to not only stay sober myself, but to pass on to others as well. After guest service training I was selected for Director Training, which I entered and completed. I have now been blessed and entrusted with an opportunity to lead my own campus in Ft. Worth. I am currently surrounded with a group of men and women who have healing, sobriety, and growth on their minds. And even still I have a support system in place that is there to teach me and guide me as I continue this path. SLA isn’t perfect, and I won’t begin to lie and say it is. Do we have relapses? Yes of course we do, we are all addicts. Do we have people who mess up? We obviously do because we are all humans. But, at the end of the day there are far more positives than negatives and there are way way more good people than bad. Our directors, guest services, drivers, regionals, instructors, etc are all people in recovery who maintain their sobriety while also guiding others in their own paths of sobriety and for the most part, the majority of them do a very good job. No one is perfect. No one is flawless. But we all strive to be better each day than we were the day before.

I have given posting this review much consideration and prayer. I have concluded it is the morally right action to take. Ethically, I am convicted that this information should be shared.

I will construct the following comments in the order of Pros and Cons followed by concluding points. I must mention that my knowledge of SLA is limited to the Southeast region of the US, specifically North Metro Atlanta. I will use the terms “guest(s)” and “client(s)” interchangeably. I will utilize the term “visitor(s)” to indicate those who are on-campus to see clients, i.e. family, friends, partners, etc.

PROS:
-Prior to my stay in SLA, I was warned how trying it would be to get sober and stay sober in SLA. Recovery, I believe, is not for the faint of heart. SLA provides a surplus of additional requirements and difficulties which challenged me to pursue recovery with my whole being. I am stronger for it.
-When I came to SLA, I had no funds, no insurance, and nowhere else to go. There, I found a bed, a roof over my head, access to local food pantries, and eventually a job.
-I built a handful of healthy friendships with people in SLA who were actively pursuing recovery.

CONS:
-I was asked to complete a Google review of the company mentioning my campus the day after my admission, obviously with no experience of the program. It does not surprise me that so many reviews are positive as directors, and guest service employees check to make sure the review was posted. It doesn’t make sense to leave a negative review for a company that warns you upon admission that they make kick you out at any moment.
-SLA promotes 12-step based recovery. Yet, apparently, directors are not required to have thoroughly worked a 12-step program, have significant time engaged in lived sobriety, or be actively working a program.
-Directors often “play favorites” with guests, deciding who they like and dislike. This system is reminiscent of the hierarchical systems of prison rules and relationships. Whoever makes it onto the radar of the director as a less-than-favored person is often punished, held back in curriculum, or discharged. Favored guests frequently break rules with the director’s knowledge and suffer no consequences.
-Directors “borrow” money from guests but never repay them.
-Directors have paid clients for sexual favors then been relieved of the director position only to be placed on staff at a different campus.
-SLA dictates that fraternization should not occur between guests and that guests are not allowed to have visitors in their bedrooms. However, this ruling doesn’t appear to apply to directors, as directors have been known to date one another and even stay several nights in one another’s rooms. Directors are housed on-campus in the same apartments as guests.
-Guests have been known to fraternize with one another or have “visitors” (sexual partners) in their rooms over night. Even with knowledge of this, directors have chosen to make exceptions as it suited them and render no consequences.
-Directors have been suspected of using yet no drug tests were required of them.
-Directors have claimed that guests failed drug tests when no drug test was administered. -Directors were suspected of falsifying drug test failures yet not required to provide proof.
-Clients were restricted from taking necessary, life-improving psychiatric and medicinal medications simply because they would trigger false positives on the cheap urinary drug tests.
-Clients were told they would be discharged as they could not work immediately following near-fatal health issues or severe injuries.
-SLA promotes faith-based, 12-step recovery. However, clients were allowed to skip out on “mandatory” church attendance whenever they liked if the director favored them. Additionally, many recovery meetings were not 12-step based.
-The staff (directors, guest services, and drivers) are not required to have substantial knowledge of or experience with the 12-steps, even though they lead required meetings on the steps and readings from the book Alcoholics Anonymous. Staff would frequently have little understanding of how to apply the steps their own life, opting only to read and re-read materials created by SLA.
-Directors showed little concern for clients exhibiting mentally unstable behavior, including but not limited to untreated bipolar, untreated schizophrenia, paranoia, learning disorders, delayed development, and suicidality. The only time they displayed an ounce of concern was when authorities got involved, not for the individual themselves but for having to relinquish control over the situation.
-SLA seeks the support of local community resources such as food and clothing pantries/donations as well as financial donations from institutions like local churches. Financial donations are typically used to cover the programs dues for living at SLA. However, guests were advised they could only seek these donations through the director. Thus, the director had to approve it. Again, favoritism resulted in clients being denied this resource. Guests that took to seeking their own support without permission were reprimanded or discharged.
-Staff frequently ignored phone calls, texts, and GroupMe messages from clients.
-Drivers exhibited unsafe driving practices and showed aggression towards clients.
-In some instances, directors have known that guests were actively using and/or drinking while in the program. This behavior was allowed to continue without repercussion.

What do these experiences tell me overall about SLA, if I’m basing it on what has occurred at these campuses?
SLA employs inexperienced, unqualified, unprofessional staff. SLA prioritizes financial gain over any genuine concern for the recovery or wellbeing of clients. SLA campus structures and practices excessively resemble the hierarchical social relationships exhibited in prison. SLA staff are spiteful and manipulative, relying on favoritism to judge and rank clients. I would say that SLA is toxic and dangerous. Varying forms of addiction are taking the lives of people everywhere, and this program does so little, if anything at all, to bring any glint of solution to the problem. SLA does not uphold values deserving of its claim of being either 12-step based or faith-based.

The Oklahoma City Sober Living America location has provided me with the structure and accountability I need, especially coming right out of a treatment setting.
I was able to find a job, get a phone and food stamps in one day because of the transportation they provide.
Their curriculum has helped me with my recovery plan by going the meetings, finding a sponsor, working the steps and setting goals.
Sober Living America has provided me with a safe and supportive environment. If you are coming out of treatment or looking for a solid recovery environment I recommend SLA

I’ve been a resident in sober living America since August and since then Ive not only maintained my sobriety I’ve been learning tools to help me along in my recovery. I felt welcomed and safe, being a female that’s important when moving and living in a new place around ppl you don’t know. I didn’t have to worry about transportation or stress about looking for employment. I’m a felon and am on probation, but SLA had resources that helped me get a job an make decent money. Over all so far I’m vary happy with the program and how the treat the Residence with respect kindness and understanding I would recommend sober living in America to anyone who is considering a sober living program

This is my second time here, at Sober Living America. The first time I got comfortable and forgot that this is a battle that I have to fight for the rest of my life. This time I will do the program for me so that I can become a function member of society and live a clean and sober life. Sincerely yours Alexander Ingram.

If you are looking to get clean and stay clean, SLA Dallas2 is the place to do it. If you're looking for a free ride, not for you. Director and staff saved my life.

Hello all I'm Donald Hughes Just got into the he Dallas #2 campus. Loving he people and Jeff made it easy to understand with the entrance process. I would hope they recommend this campus

My experience at SLA is beyond what I imagined. This serious but simple program was a lifesaver for me. The staff and guidelines are absolutely people friendly to those of us in need of a new way of life.

Came here for recovery. The staff is very helpful. They give you the tools to recover but they don't hold your hand. You have to want it and work for it. You have to take responsibility for your actions.

a scheduled (and without saying, stuctured) life similar to what I imagine most sober, functioning adults live. And with that said, I feel better about myself as a recovering addict. I feel closer to success than I've ever been, and it's because I know I doing right (finally).

Jayden Luffman -
SLA is the greatest rehabilitation facility I've personally ever been to, and i thank the lord, family, and Summit Ridge for directing me here to get help with my substance use and abuse. The staff here is genuinely the sweetest and most kind hearted people I've ever met in the entirety of my life on this earth, the residents here are also really helpful. I've never felt more at home since a little child. You can tell God is working in this facility, just because the spirit in everyone here is 100% genuine. I've been to one other facility I've went to in Dekalb Georgia and that one was a -6, while on the other side is SLA, the best and the upmost respect is being shown and taught here. I will recommend anyone I find that's struggling with addiction like I still am. I absolutely love this place. I forgot to mention the work ethic going on here, just superb.
Thank you everyone working here, much love.

Sober Living Of America really works and I am a living testimony.

In my personal opinion you would be hard pressed to find another program with as great a success rate and as much amenities as SLA!they will truly change your life for the better!

Sober Living America is such an amazing program! I have been to many detox's, programs, meetings, etc in the past and none of them seemed to work. When I arrived at Sober Living America I was greeted with open arms by the kindest and most caring staff. While there, they helped me connect with God again. I felt safe, loved, valued, and suddenly not so alone anymore. I can go on and on about Sober Living America and what they have done for me. They provided me all the tools I needed to stay sober today and continue to grow. I eventually came on as a staff member and now have the opportunity to help others the way I was helped. I am eternally grateful for this program!!

My name is Mitchell and I am a resident of Sober Living America at the Greenville 2 location. This program is excellent for recovery and learning to live a sober life. They provide housing, work, transportation, and recovery. This program is a blessing as well as the staff members who help us daily. Thank you SLA.

My experience with Sober Living America has been a great one. They taught me the 12 Steps of recovery and how to live a better sober life. I am at the Greenville 2 location and this program has saved my life.

I've been here at Sober Living Of America for a year now. I was deep in my addiction of alcoholism I nearly died from it. This place is really the place to be to help with any addiction that is destroying our lives. They help you with jobs and getting into A.A meetings. They provide a new structured way of living to stay Sober. I'm glad i found Sober Living Of America. I honestly don't know where I would be without this place or without GOD.

I am currently residing at Greenville 1 and so far my experience is great,Wally is a great guy and he is all about recovery and helping his guys recover and live better lives,I am grateful to be here and glad to get what I can to be a better person

Since I decided I want to get sober I went to SLA and it has been wonderful. They've helped me get a structure back to my life that I couldn't keep myself. I'm relearning how to be me again, the me without drugs and how to be happy again.

SLA Jacksonville Fl. Has been a great step in my journey of recovery. Staff is friendly. They understand no one in recovery is going to be perfect. They get you into employment quickly. No sober living community is going to be perfect, no living situation is. SLA does their best to provide you with to tools to work on your recovery.

I'm addicted to opiates, if it weren't for sober living of America I don't think I would have made it. The people in this program saved my life.

SLA saved my life. I was broken, beat and in a dark spot in my life. Coming into the doors to open arms helped me relieve the things that held me captive for so long! Now I'm able to give back the tools that was taught to me to others. They showed me love! As a Director I do the same. Thank you SLA!

Sober Living America changed my life. They got me off the street and into an apartment and employed very quickly with little hassle. They provided transportation to and from the meetings and also helped me in my recovery.

Sober Living America has helped change my life for the better. I have been to 14 of their many locations and pretty much had the same experience on each campus. The way the program is outlined helps a knucklehead like myself learn discipline and consistency. The campuses I have visited are clean, safe, and welcoming, and help me to relax and focus on myself and make a lifestyle change. The different staff members really show that they care about me through their actions. They have giving me tools to help me with life situations and help me stay sober. I have found God, reconnected with my family, and even saved money, none of which I could do before coming to this program. My plan was to come here save money for a car and house, but I have far exceeded my expectations of these goals and decided to stay and continue to grow personally, financially, and spiritually. The goals have since evolved to me sacrificing and giving back to help someone else obtain what this company was able to provide for me. it truly has been a life changing experience and I am so grateful they took me in with no money and planted seeds, they are producing meaningful fruit.

Sla truly saved my life and allowed me the opportunity to integrate a relationship with God into my life. I was able to find a sponsor and obtain a network of people in recovery that truly has my best interests at heart. I wouldn't be where I'm at today if it wasn't for Sla and God.

from lost to found. from broken to whole. I came into SLA not caring whether I walked back out the door or not. I learned how to live life on life's terms. I was loved until i learned to love myself. I was taught life skills I had no idea I needed. Would highly recommend to anyone wo is looking for a new way of life.

When I say Sober Living America Saved my life. I truly mean it. I had lost all hope and desire to keep going. because of circumstances beyond my control..... No Money. No job. just living an horrible life. I reached out on FB for help and one of my friends was Friends with the regional in Houston, Within 2 hours I was picked up and brought to their Houston campus , no money needed up front. The love and compassion i received was outstanding . It made me want to become staff, and that is what I did. I worked hard did what was suggested of me and now have almost 2 years clean and a Director of one of their campuses . if you want help and want to be treated with respect and compassion please call out to us.

Amazing program for anyone struggling with alcoholism and addiction! Gives you the structure and introduces you to a 12 step program. Gets you a job in the first week and provides transportation to and from work, meetings, church, doctor's appointments, and stores.

I have fought the disease of addiction and alcoholism for 35 years. I entered 9 different rehabs and sober living places during that 35 years only staying sober for 30 days at a time. I would go back out to the same chaotic life every time. I am now 8 months clean thankws to Sober Living America.

I came in as a resident to the Greenville 1 location in 2018. I have now been the director of the same campus for 3 1/2 years. This place is amazing and has saved so many lives. From day one, walking into a place that puts recovery over money. If you are looking for a place for you or your lived one to find recovery SOBER LIVING AMERICA IS THE PLACE

i have been a resident at marietta 2 for a month. staff is great. apartments are nice. all in all i’ve found this place to be very helpful towards my recovery.

I'm a resident at Marietta 2 and I've been here going on 4 months. I just want to say that our new director is awesome and this program has given me a new outlook on recovery and hope for the future!

My name is Chris Davis and i came to this program when I realized my life was unmanageable and that I needed stability in my life . I was homeless bc I had burned so many bridges and my family had turned my back on me due to my bad choices and drug addiction. I waisted 15 years of my life and I was in and out of jail and prison , even attempted suicide a couple times . Long story short . I absolutely love this program and I give it 5 stars . Also I want to add that the campus is awesome as well. We have the best director/ regional director! Thank u Scott caris and Bryan Dowd . Y’all saved my life and I’m at peace now. I luv u guys !

THE S.L.A. HAS GIVEN ME BACK HOPE AND MY LIFE BACK ITS A SLOW PROCESS BUT I HAVE GOOD PEOPLE TAT ARE WIT ME EVERY STEP OF THA WAY THEY WORK ME HARDER BUT I KNOW IM WORKING TOWARD A GOAL TAT I WANT AND NEED IN MY LIFE THANK YA S.L.A. IN CANTON AREA FOR GIVEN ME LIL BY LIL MY LIFE BACK

I came to Sober Living America September 2020. Before I came in, I had been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for 38 years. I am not the same woman I was when I walked into the doors of SLA last year. I was introduced to the 12 step program and I was lead into a relationship with my high power who I choose to call God. Because of the SLA guidelines and a few simple suggestions , living the 12 steps and having a recovery sponsor. i now live a life of freedom from addiction. I am able to love myself. One of the great things about SLA is their vision of NO money, No problem. I had nothing but a pack back when I came in. No money. They accepted me into their program with open arms. I am forever grateful for SLA.

Sober Living America gave me everything I need to build a better life

Sober Living America has saved my life! They provided me with everything that I needed to succeed from work boots, clothes, food stamps, etc. Plus, the meetings they offer onsite as well as the facilities are on point!

SLA helped me to turn my life around. Without them who knows where I would be. It gave me time to focus on my recovery and start working on myself. Thank you so much SLA.

Sober living helped me transition into a sober responsible adult again. This program teaches men and woman how to be accountable.

I started my journey in 2019 I honestly wasn't serious about my recovery at that time I needed to deal with court consequences that is what first got me there. I did fail because of that reason and ended up worse that before. When I asked to return I was given another chance and took it seriously now I am approaching 18 months of soberity and now have accountability and reliability in my life. As a result I have good quality relationships with others and can keep the things in life I gained. I was invited home for Christmas not from a since of obligation but because my family wants me to be there so it will be my first holiday that I have attended with family that I am wanted in many years and I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world.

My name is Jeff Davis. I'm a Regional Director for Sober Living America. I came into SLA May 7th, 2018. I struggled with drugs and alcohol since i was 17 years old. I came in looking at 20 years in prison due to multiple drug charges. The funny thing is I had been living a double life, teaching school and coaching football but drinking and doing drugs also. It took 28 years for me to get to the point of complete surrender. On June 13, 2018, I overdosed and died in a motel. I am very fortunate I'm not a statistic. I have been sober now for 2.5 years and because of SLA, I have found a new purpose in life. I have found a new career with SLA and helping others like myself.

Sober living actually saved my life it's self sufficient what you put in is what you get out of it it taught me how to take things one day at a time I've meet some great some people and patched up my relationships with my family I'm so grateful to be here

Sober Living America has played a major role in saving my life through recovery. Coming here right after right rehab was the best decision I ever made, and I am so grateful for all they have done for me. From the very first day I was here the staff has been caring, accommodating, and motivating. They truly love on you until you know how to love yourself, and even then, they love on you some more.

Sober living America changed my life and I am very fortunate to still be a part of the program.

Sober Living America was suggested to me, and I am so glad that it was! I didn't know what to expect when I walked in the doors in Birmingham Alabama, but it was everything that I didn't know that I needed. I had never been really introduced to the 12 step program of Alcoholics Anonymous. I needed the other guests to tell me that I wasn't alone and that, they too, had the disease of addiction. SLA was able to show me the path to recovery, and then I was able to show others that same path. I can't imagine where I would be today if it weren't for Sober Living America. They will always be my family.

I came to Sober Living of America a broken person. They have led me to develop a relationship with God and the 12 Steps. It has completely changed my life. Today I am sober, happy, and truly blessed with gifts from God.

I had been battling addiction for 26 years. I was at the end and felt that there was no hope. I had lost my family, my home, everything. Sober Living America took me in. They gave me a job and a place to live. They taught me how to live clean and sober 1 day at a time. Now I have almost 4 years of sobriety and I work at SLA; giving back to others that come in looking for help.

SLA has immediately provided me with stability. I didn't have to worry about how to get a job or if it would pay enough. They provided. I didn't have to worry about how I was going to get there. They provided transportation. I didn't have to worry about what meetings to go to and how I would get there. They have on site meetings and off site meetings they take me to. Most importantly I walked in comfortable. The staff is just like me. They understand! They're real with it. Every body there showed me love from the 1st day! Oh, and the apartment is super clean and nice. Its not too clustered and I only have to share a room with one person so I can find peace in my room whenever.I highly recommend.

So we're living America has been a great great resource to me and help me find employment beatings and peer counseling and I really do like it here

am currently located at the Spartanburg SLA campus and feel like I have finally found the perfect place for me to succeed. I have been in several treatment centers and sober living houses in the past few years but I believe this is the perfect place to learn responsibility and work a 12 step program all while saving money and creating a sober network of friends. We have a new director Chase Norton who trained under Wally and he along with the staff here show tough love but are always available when we need guidance and direction. I would recommend this place to anyone trying to find a place to start a new exciting way of life.

This place has genuinely saved my life, if you are willing and ready in your recovery it is the best place for you to go to truly turn your life around. I honestly have no idea where i would be without SLA and i am eternally greatful. I am in the Louisville campus.

Horrible, horrible place. Cold, unhelpul staff who play favorites with the residents, dirty rooms with few utensils and repetive meetings that were uselss. Every morning we had to watch the same video of Denzel Washington addressing college graduates. Some residents had seen it every day for SIX MONTHS. The SLA I stayed at is in Atlanta and the director is an imperious, rude and unprofessional woman. Thank God I found a better place to stay as I would not recommend this place to anyone.

SLA is an awesome program. The Macon facility has been an amazing program to be associated with. They offer weekly covid testing and or covid vaccination appointments. Great meetings hall. I would definitely recommended this program to anyone seeking sobriety and a fresh start on life.

Sla saved me from addiction. It one of the best places ive been for recovering addiction. They help u with the steps of aa. Help u restore structure back n ur life. Im at the Greensboro 2 location.

I've been with SLA for 5 months , now. I am very excited about my growth and the restoration of my family. Through the kindness, acceptance and accountability of the staff at SLA, I am learning how to live life, sober! Thank you, SLA for your patience with me!

This place has been an absolute blessing helping me get back on my feet while keeping my recovery first...

My experience here has been wounderful at SLA, i love what this program has in store for my future... i couldnt of asked for a better oppertunity

It help me work and find out how I really was and find out what I wanted in life and how I can be a better person for my self and my family and friends life's good when you find a way out of addiction and sla gave me some tools to figure all this out one day at a time

I have nothing but the upmost respect for SLA this is my second go around and since I have been at the Atlanta location I have worked up to my 6th step and I have a HG and a church that I love. Ken and Amir are adamant about our recovery and truly show us love and tolerance. I wish I could leave 10 stars.

I am grateful for SLA Atl 1. Straight from the start I felt at home. The staff are very respectful and they made sure that I received the best chance at recovery. They have a Big Book Study every morning at 9 that rocks. I am learning a lot about my mind state and the disease of addiction.

Sober Living America is a great place for recovery. Very welcoming, surrounded by staff who truly care and want to help take this walk in life with you. They go above and beyond all measures to make sure you get a sponsor and build a network to utilize for recovery.

Thank you, Nashville 1

My name is Dianna , I am so grateful for this program they have been amazing and so understanding! My Director Recayah is awesome ! She’s so down to earth and has really taken good care of us here ! I highly recommend anyone in need of help to transition in life to contact Sober living ASAP they are all so kind and eager to help ! Love and Peace

I got to Sober Living America in Louisville KY and I really needed the stability and push that SLA provided. I have the opportunity to be around people just like me that have gone through the things I’ve gone through and understand. I’m learning to be responsible and to meet life on life terms sober. Highly recommend this program for anyone that wants to get better.

Sober living America is great it has worked wonders for me. I gave my mind body nd soul. To the program nd its blessings ������ upon blessings. I'm grateful for sober living.

I'm loving it here in Atl 1. So far it has been a good stay the staff is very respectful and they are taking care of my needs. I have gotten a sponsor and I will start work soon.

This isn't the first sober living environment i've lived in but i'm confident after just a couple weeks here that this is the one i will suceed in. I've lived in a lot of poop hole places infected with negativity and false hope engulfed in fake motives and i can honestly say that this place is different. The staff here are more than helpful and the vibe here is not just focused on recovery, but naturally make you want to give all to get it. This place makes sobriety attractive and fun. Jason and Recayah go out of their way to not only make sure you get settled in and understand all the rules and guidelines, but to make sure youre comfortable as you settle in as well. They set you up with the tools and mindset to strive for a better life. Honestly have no complaints and am glad and very grateful to be apart of this program. Forget other places. If you want to recover from a hopeless state of body and mind, stop procrastinating and get you ass here. The future's looking beautiful. Blessed.

This program is a good place to start over and together many great opportunities to change and become greater than yourself

sparta2 This campus of women have been amazing to me and I couching of a better place to recover and work. I have learned life skills and more about myself since being here. This ace saved my life.

#Sparta 2.
I came here needing a fresh start in life. Again. This has been a great experience for me. I have met the most awesome ladies here. The meetings and the camaraderie of my roommates are helping me with my recovery goals.

I have been with SLA for about 7 months a graduate of the program and have enjoyed every moment of it it has been life-changing and a great experience did the director and staff members of the Spartanburg SLA great and helping people get through the hard time of addiction it has been a game changer and I have enjoyed every moment of it a great experience liar your read it come on Red John

Before arriving at SLA, I've tried these transitional sober living programs, and none of them had helped me as much as SLA has. Most of these types of programs are just work camps, but SLA is different and you can really tell the staff cares for the guests.

-Nate R. SLA

I am a re-admit from a different location, but since I've been in Atl 1, I have received nothing but the upmost respect. They have helped me obtain a job and a new sponsor. I will recommend SLA to anybody needing help.

I am so thankful for SLA Atlanta 1, I literally had nowhere to go. I was homeless and broken. I was introduced to a sponsor from AA my first night here and I can truly feel the love and camaraderie here. The staff has been wonderful. I'm grateful my friend hooked me up with this facility

So far so good, I have only been here a few days but I feel like I'm in the right spot. I was sent here with nothing but the clothes on my back, and they had a clothing closet which I was able to get some clothes. My first day here I attended a Freshman Orientation which showed me that all I have to do is look at the next 24 hours. The staff here in Atlanta 1 have been a tremendous help. Ken, Amir, and Dylan have not hesitated to go out of their way to assist me. I have applied for Food stamps and will be working in the next few days. No Complaints here.

#Sparta2. I love this place. The staff is wonderful! Made some great sober friends that I will have for life. Without the help of God and this place, I couldn't have turned my life around and be where I'm at today!

Staff has been a great help !! They helped me keep god first, sobriety and be social with sober people. Staff are always available to help any time of the day !
#louisville

I'm 14 months sober but I've been in sober living America before I had such a great experience I decided to come back the people are so supportive and I know I can stay sober here! Thanks Sober Living America. #louiville

Sla is an amazing place. It helps you learn how to live life again and through your journey you will meet some amazing ladies and gentlemen. #Louisville

#sparta2 Is a wonderful facility and everyone is so welcoming. This place really changed me for the better and saved my life and I am now in a great place in my life, I highly recommend SLA for a place of recovery!

Works 12 steps and provides transportation. #Louisville

My experience has been fine but there is some issues with people taking stuff but that's the men that you're with their all alcoholics and drug addicts and a lot of them don't leave that when they come in so it is what it is but you know I guess it's the best it can be with this many sick people around so it's helping me got my last resort so big blow where I am a really good to be there
#Louisville

I came to sober living America stressed out , anxious and physically ill, I was ready to go back and use because of what I was going through, but instead I picked up the phone and reached out! When I called SLA they immediately picked up and first listen to me, then they went over their program and accepted me the way I was. Again “ Accepted me the way I was”! To be honest it was a blessing from my higher power! Since I have been here everyone has been amazing, everyone has helped restore my sanity, spiritual, And health well being, ( mind, body, and soul) . I have been able to relax and smell the coffee. I look forward to every day that I am being blessed with. This is by far the best choice, The best thing that has ever happened to me! Thank you! I am so grateful for the people in the program. For any one that is going through the something similar or has a loved one that is suffering pick up the phone, and reach out . There are people out there who really care and want to help. Thank you to all the staff in Louisville! To all the staff in the program!

I am currently ready to finish up the 30-day Pinnacle program in Colombia. I can honestly say that I have been given the tools to make the transition to my hometown and continue working on my sobriety. Kenny and Melissa make this a very comfortable and desirable place to be well educated on your journey to a new and better life.

I love the energy and the help they give us they have a family feel to them it's a great places

Initially my view of SLA wasn't the greatest but as I've continued to stick and stay, my opinion has changed. The services offered are truly amazing and a Godsend. If you suffer from addiction or alcoholism, Sober Living America is definitely a place to get clean while getting your life together and on track. The services offered are definitely worth the cost. What is your life worth to you. If you're considering going to SLA, it could be a life saving decision.

I've been a drug addict and alcoholic for 20+ years. I've been in and out of several different rehab centers all over the united states. I came to SLA Louisville almost 2 years ago broken and strung out from alcohol and meth. I was running like I had been my whole life and didnt really know what to do. I was ready to give up on life and had no reason left to go on so I thought. SLA took me in and gave me a place to stay and gave me the tools I needed to live and enjoy life on life's terms. Today my life is better than it has ever been. Because of them I have a great job and make more money than I've ever made in my life. I have a true relationship with my family. I also have people that I've met here that have become just like apart of my family that I'm truly grateful to that have showed me the way. It has truly been a life changing experience thank you Sober living America for saving my life and teaching me a new way to live.

This place saved my life, they help you find a job, take you to meetings and are very structured and recovery focused. I have almost 90 days sober! The staff here is great and very helpful. They really give you a chance to start a new life, clean and sober. I've been to many different recovery houses and programs and this one has been the best so far in terms of practicality and recovery. I'm so glad I made is here and can't wait to continue my road to recovery here at SLA #Louisville!

I am grateful for Sla Atl 1, it has allowed me the opportunity to be able to get my life back in order. I will not tell you that this is the perfect program or residence because to each his own. But for me it is, I have been able to attend AA meetings and I have found a sponsor. I am currently reading thru the Big Book and I am learning about myself. Everyday I am faced with challenges as every addict is, but I am able to face those challenges with the help of God and my peers. When I first got here I was not satisfied with the living arrangements, but I was grateful that I had someplace to lay my head. I was homeless before here and my family had completely turned their backs on me (not that I blame them). Today I am willing to do whatever it takes to stay clean & sober and SLA has pointed me in the right direction.

as of today located at Duluth it has been very positive and very good keeping me under the high power of life. im very grateful for the chance to change my life around.

The people I've met through this program have helped me more than anything I've ever experienced. I came with no money and was given a place to live and employment.

A great place to get sober and get your feet planted in a spiritual foundation.

S.L.A. is a great program for those who are fighting with addiction. If it weren't for this program I don't know where I would be right now but I have learned so much about how to battle addiction and I have learned how to control it instead of it controlling me. Thanks to all who have helped me on the difficult journey.

SLA Spartanburg is a wonderful place with wonderful caring staff. They were there for me when no one else was. The director there as well as SLA really helped me up when I was down and out. I'm looking forward to my new life that SLA has so graciously help me get started.

This is a program that has helped me get sober and stay sober ! I was welcomed with open arms and have found a place i can call home ! I've met some awesome people here that have helped me through this journey as well ! SLA has truly given me a second chance at life and to actually get it right this time ! I DO NOT regret my decision in coming here ! So with that being said if anyone is looking for a safe place with genuine people who actually care then DO NOT hesitate to call ! They are here to help and put you back on track ! ....SINCERLY R.J. ❤

I needed a place to go and work on bettering myself and to quit using the drugs that were ruining my life. SLA came out of nowhere, got me off the street, and found me a job. I am satisfied thus far.

sparta2 this is the best sober living I have ever been in. I was greeted with so much support and felt so welcomed. I came with nothing and every girl here has stepped up to help me. I'm surrounded by so much love here.

#sparta2 is nothing but love and recovery. God put me in the right place with the right people.

I'm currently at sober living america the director and staff have helped me alot...

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 at Spartanburg campus since late March 2020. They have provided a safe, stable and sober community living environment. While they encourage us to maintain a professional work schedule, sobriety comes first. The director has made sure to maintain a personal relationship with each client. Sadly we've seen many leave, but it's been there own doing. Wish for more off campus activities with the guys.

SLA has been a great support toward my recovery. I feel like home when I am here. They really care about your recovery.

Indianapolis - So far my experience here at Sober Living America has been wonderful. I have experienced another chance of life with the help of the wonderful staff and and encouragement to make better life choices which help bring the best out of me. I've been to many places but I have to say this has been the best experience and help I have ever received. Highly recommend this place if your looking to change your life for the better! Two thumbs up for SLA!

S.l.a. is a wonderful program it allows you to focus on sobriety, and also work and gain structure to yourself. It feels great to give my self a second chance and sla allows that

So far it's been great I know a couple of people here so it's good this is gonna be great

sla has helped changed my life for the greater good before sla i was headed to a very dark place and now my life is rapidly getting back on track. being in the sla community where the energy is very beautiful i have not wanted any alcohal or drugs i am completely sober thanks to the program sla has provided and i am very thankful i would recomend sla to anyone who wants to change theyre life for the better

i came here looking for help with my addiction and was welcomed as soon as i called and was greeted with open arms . i am very excited about being here and cant wait to see what the future holds

#sparta2 it has been a wonderful experience being here at sparta 2 SLA. This was the best decision I ever made because it saved my life. I would recommend this to anyone out there struggling with addiction

SLA is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. as a helpless, hopeless junkie ive tried everything to get clean. in the past, ive gone to treatments and recovery homes and feel like ive been left to fend for myself, and if you dont have money or insurance then forget about it. SLA will let you come in without a dollar to your name and then GIVE you a job AND provide transportation. it truly is a second chance for anyone who wants it.
SLA is the first one that truly seems to have my best interest in mind. they are serious about recovery , which is most important. but in order to recover, i feel like you need to have a sense of purpose. they have that covered with the job etc. 10 out 10 would reccomend for anyone who feels like they are out of options and that they have no hope. SLA will give you hope and the tools to build a better life.

#sparta2. Even tho I just got here, I really enjoy it so far. I'm about to start a great job and really excited about my future here. This place rocks.

#sparta2 I absolutely love this place and would recommend to anyone struggling with Addiction or Alcohol. Best decision I could have made for my future.

My experience at SLA has been very rewarding this far.Its helped me tremendously in my attempt to maintain a sober life.i recommended this program to anyone who wants to change their life by living sober.

Sober living has given me a multitude of chances and continue to accept me with open arms despite a list of screw ups. I am trying my best and working the program after being in my addiction for so long. I am worn out and tired but I still find the motivation and strive for my recovery thank you Atlanta!!

am so grateful to Sla and what it has provided for me. I am now on staff and I'm loving the relationship i have been cultivating with my Higher Power.

I came into SLA a broken man,, Since I have been here i have learned how to live life on life's terms. I have a sponsor and i have just recently completed my 4th step. I am slowly learning who I am. The staff here in Atlanta 1 has been so helpful.

Background: 13 years of drug use, 5 years living with a mental illness.

For the past 4 years of trying to get into and staying in recovery, SLA has done more for me in 4 months than what I could do on my own. I've tried the other rehabs and transitional rehab homes and they never worked for me and even were more restricting. Sober Living America helped me find really good work that I was able to excel in, a good meeting structure, and curriculum that actually gets you to dive deep into and study the AA literature. This program had gotten me closer to being an independent member of society than what I could ever hope to achieve on my own. If it has worked for me, than it can work for you.

I am a guest here in Richmond and it is has been the best thing I have done for myself. I am about to complete the program in 2 weeks. I have been to a far different place and it didn't work for me. But this program has changed my life forever. I am very grateful to be part of this family. I would not trade this for anything or anyone.

My name is Janice this program is great it gives you a great opportunity Ina lot of ways come on down join our great family

I am a guest at Richmond VA and my name is Brian. I think this is a great place. They have been very warm and nice to me more like making me feel like family . Got me started right with meeting, fellowshiping, and helped me with getting a job. I would recommend this program to anyone that is in need of help. This is the best decision I have made for my self.

Hello, my name is Billy Farmer and I am an addict. Sept 27 2020 I was truly lost with no hope. Four years in and out of treatment centers trying to get clean but never working the steps of AA and being honest with myself that I was powerless over meth. Then I reached out to Sober living of America a place that I had been to once before but walked away because I hadn't gave up trying it my way yet. Thank God they received me with open arms. I've now completed my first month of the freshman phase which was in Jackson Mississippi and am currently starting my sophmore phase in Spartanberg S.C which is closer to home. I am truly blessed with having this chance and I will forever be greatful to Sober living of America for guiding me thru and helping me see just how important honestly working the steps of AA can begin to change your life dramatically. Thank you Shane Mitchell for accepting me in Jackson Mississippi and getting this old country boy to believe and thank Julious in Spartanberg for accepting me in with open arms to continue this journey. And thank you SLA for all you do helping alcoholics and addicts find a better way!

This program is the most unorganized unwelcoming program I’ve ever been too.they tell you on the phone they will help you get recovery and to meetings and lead you into a relationship with god, but DONT take you to church and do nothing but down you and talk to you like a dog. They pretend to be your friends and act like they care when they truly don’t. They truly need to be shut down.

Sla in good way I only been here 2 day so we will see how it goes

My experience has been a true blessing of coming into the program so welcomed and with people who are so genuine I truly think it’s going to be a good road ahead of me but I will leave that to my higher power to decide because the best thing yet is letting him lead and guide me on this new journey of recovery because my way has never worked and I just feel as if I’m in the place I need to be

#sparta2 my experience this time has been awesome i have had a whole turn around this time this program has truly changed my life and im very thankful

I've been with sober living America for years. They treat me like family and have always been there for me in my time of need! Great people and staff!

Sober Living America is a program that has not only helped me get back on my feet but has given me the tools to move back into the world and maintain my sobriety. The network I created here will help me well into the future and the community here has been like a family to me. If you're ready to make a change and want to put your all into it this is definitely the place to do it!!

My name is Jimmy and I am guest at GSB2. My experience here has been life changing. It has been one of the best things I have done for myself. I Would recommend this to anyone who needs help and guidance in life. The staff here is amazing from guest service to the director thanks for the opportunity

My name is Jon Colegrove. I moved to Florida 2 yrs ago to come to Sober living america. Since that time I have gotten a lot of support from the staff at Tampa 1 as they have become my friends and support group. Even through my troubles at several times during this period i have continued to get support. Even when I left S.L.A. voluntarily I was welcomed back when I knew that I needed to come back.
Thanks
Jon Colegrove

I had a very good experience things are working out good I learned a lot I'm starting to understand more about me and others through this program and I am a guest at gsb2 I hope I said that right

been clean for 2 and a half years off the needle meth and heroine...my bottom was a super dark bottom... had a recent slip w methadone just to take it for pain..but it wasnt my script.. spent 25 days in hell... found sla and it was a solid chance to get out of my home town that always seems to drag me down...and here i am in atlanta mens 2 making the best out of this decision... so far in this location corey and michael have been awesome... i will have 90 days in just a few more days

I am grateful to SLA Atlanta Men because they have allowed me to get some sort of balance in my life. I have been introduced to a sponsor and the Morning BB study has actually given me insight to this disease of addiction.

This experience is the best move I could have ever made in my life this campus treat & show so much respect with actual skilled knowledge that is very helpful in my recovery. I'm greatful to Allah & SLA!

My name is Jamie and Sal is a great place for recovery. Been very open hearted to me and all the new comes. All in all this has helped me get back to being a better person.

I am a resident here at SLA Greenville, and I want to say that if you're serious about a life change this is the place to be. The director, Wally is a really good guy. I mean he's stern, but he's also fair and gracious come on and help yourself.

#sparta2 Have an amazing experience here with the girls! Working hard and living sober life

#Sparta2 I have loved my time here learning about AA and restoring my relationship with God. I have a new found freedom and it is all thanks to this program

#sparta2 SLA saved my life. I came to sla Oct 3rd, 2019 an never been sober before. They showed me a new way to live, how to work a program, get a sponsor, work the steps, and put Gods will before my own will. They helped me get a job an how to hold my self accountable. 6 months later i graduated an got a car. I learned how to be patient an how to be ok w being uncomfortable. Since then i have rekindled my relationship w my family an kids. An in 2 wks i will be moving out n my own apartment working at a good job and having my youngest son who is 14 come move w me. I love 3 hrs away from my 3 older girls but they said change people places an thing an im sick an tired of being sick an tired. Thx u sla for being the building block an help me look forward to my future being healthy an sober.... Keeping it one day at a time!!!!

Sober living has given me a new chance at rebuilding my life. They've gotten me a stable job, comfortable living quarters, and a renewed commitment to 12-step recovery as a means to becoming self-sufficient in a sober environment. I get to attend lots of AA meetings and am learning to be accountable and disciplined in my life. They've given me a chance when no one else would. I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone trying to get clean and sober and get their lives back together!

Hi, my name is Valerie M. I came to Sober Living America to learn how to live a sober and happy life. When I first got here I was very quiet and to kept to myself. I'm learning and growing each day thanks to SLA. I'm doing great and moving forward in my recovery. I have become a house senior and enjoy the responsibility. I still have struggles but I have a group of staff and friends here always willing to talk and lend a hand. It is a simple program if you want it, do what we have all done that are here.

my name is Eric Brown. i came ibto SLA 69 days ago. A broken down individual who knew i needed help . The staff here has helped me grow with my sobriety in many ways . From personal growth to the growth of dealing with other ppl has helped me grow in helping others . The staff here is great .They truly care about my sobriety.

#sparta2 I just want to say that I am so grateful to be here. This is a great program I couldn't ask for a better help for recovery and all the people that work here are great they really care and are a big help so thanks!!!

#sparta2 Sober Living America is the best thing that has ever happened to me. It has completely changed my life, how I live, and my outlook on everything. Highly recommend ������

This nonprofit took me off the street and fed me helped me get a job and transportation to and from work. Great and caring staff. I went from an EVERY day user to just picking up my 90 days

#sparta2 I have been in Sober Living America for almost a year and have experienced a great deal of growth. I have been given many resources and tools regarding how to stay sober and have been successful in the program. I have learned how to work a twelve step program and how to implement these steps into my daily life. I have gained a strong network of women and achieved stability in many areas of my life. Sober living America has given me another opportunity at life and I am grateful I have given it the chance to work miracles within me and around me. It has been a significant part of my recovery and a huge stepping stone that has prepared me for the outside world. I have gained much experience, strength and hope with being in this facility and plan on continuing on in the program to ensure longer term sobriety.

#sparta2 I am at the women's campus and have been so blessed to be here. The staff have been so helpful in making sure I am getting adjusted and learning about myself and recovery. I am getting the tools I need to learn how to live life on life's terms. I am so grateful to be here and this program is saving my life.

I like SLA Columbia. The staff is really nice and help me a lot. I like AA and love going to church. I want to continue to learn and grow here. I like living in apartments and I like being around people that are like me.

God is so good. I was looking for a place to go that was centered around God and He led me to Sober Living America. I am in Columbia and I love the apartment style living. The staff is so nice and they helped me get a job and really help me figure out AA nad the core values of the program and why it teaches what it teaches. I really enjoyed the morning meetings and learned a lot. I alos like the fact that they help us go to outtsid meetings so that whenever I graduate I have a netweork.

I'm in Columbia SLA. I came here 6 months ago with nothing and now I have the tools the life skills i need to be successful in my sobriety. They helped me get a job, the helped me understand the program of AA, and they provided with transportation and resources to get my health in order. I really love it here and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for help, or looking to help themselves.

#sparta 2
My experience here at sober living is awesome.
I don't know how to explain it. This place has help me so much and has change my life. I could not done it with out them helping me. Tiffany our director has help me so much. She has tought me to love my self and she loves you no matter what the situation is. She the best director sense I been in sober living America.

So very grateful to SLA Atl 1, I was welcomed with open arms and immediately felt as if I was at home. I was plugged into recovery on my first day and found a sponsor by my 3rd day here. The staff are well concerned about our livelihood. In the words of Ken "We care more about your life than we care about your feelings." That right there let me know that he truly believes in our recovery even if we may not like the truth's that the staff are telling us. I would recommend SLA to anyone needing help with Sobriety and God.

I'm glad I was able to come here to Atlanta 1, I had couldn't get my SSC due to covid -19 and the staff pooled together to help me order my Birth Certificate so that I could gain employment. The Director Ken, has helped me tremendously along the way. He has shared with me his story and I can tell he is passionate about his and our recovery.

I came to SLA Columbia from another local program. The program that I came from didn't really give me tools for success. In Columbia I got set up for success. They helped me get a great sponsor who I work the steps with and also participate in a lot of leisure activities with him. I really like the church that we started going to recently. We were going to zoom church but I'm happy church is back open. Bryan is great. He really helps me understand the steps. I love the community and how to pay it foward. It is a great program for me.
