Review for Sober Living America Inc, Atlanta, GA, USA
Proceed with caution! This is, by far, the most poorly managed social services/recovery oriented organization I have ever encountered or experienced in my life. It is merely an overpriced, glorified homeless shelter. They do not drug test or search anyone's belongings to ensure the safety and/or integrity of the community. While they seem to pride themselves on accepting new clients with no immediate funds available (simply stating they will "find you employment and allow you to pay back any accruing/past due balance") in all reality, you will find that their primary focus is, and will consistently remain throughout your stay, the MONEY, above ALL else, including your recovery. They boast being a 12 step influenced program, yet they barely, if ever, bring you to 12 step meetings or even hold you accountable to attending them. In fact, their staff, who are merely other residents who are "hired" on as "staff", but are paid, minimally, under the table, do not "work a program" themselves. So much for "Lead By Example". The program is a veritable revolving door, thereby promoting chronic relapse. All I can say is "buyer beware", and if you're looking for a decent recovery community, this is a very risky choice.
