Footprints in Recovery realizes that the continuing recovery process only begins after the initial rehabilitation program ends. The stark reality is that many recovering individuals are unemployable and are not ready to face the demands of so-called “normal society”. With this in mind, Footprints offers an alternative to being thrown back into a stressful world unprepared. Our Sober Living concept is a program that allows the client to become reacquainted with the community and the everyday issues we all face in a sober manner. 

First, we offer a comfortable, home-like setting for individuals in a house that is shared with other like-minded individuals. Generally, each resident shares a room with another person of the same sex living under the same guidelines. You may be familiar with some other halfway house models, but ours differ in some ways which will be explained further on.  

After housing is secure, the resident can then focus on getting to other necessary issues such as job seeking, medical care, transportation, food and clothing matters and money management. The Footprints staff offers real-world experience and training in these matters and will see to it the resident is “plugged into” the programs they qualify for within the community within the first 30 days. 

The usual half-way house model involves a number of recovering individuals working outside the home and sharing responsibility of the daily maintenance and upkeep of the house itself and the economic issues as well. While all residents are required to provide for their housing and food expenses, the staff takes care of the bill paying and other paperwork involved in maintaining the physical structure of the house. There are rules and regulations outlined in the application process that must be maintained in order to be a resident. There is also the peace of mind that staff members are close at hand to address issues and problems that arise in recovery.  No one is ever left out of decisions made concerning the house.
