What We Do

Youth Recovery Housing Solutions is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that addresses the inequity and inadequacy of our existing recovery system for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) in order to meet the needs of youth who would benefit from living in a highly supportive recovery community after treatment.

Our non-profit aims to provide equity in our existing recovery system. We will serve as our country's first Sober Living home for adolescents ages 13-17. We will support youth in their recovery from SUD through creating an environment that gently reintegrates them into every day life.

Evidence That Sober Living Works (6)

Evidence That Sober Living Works

According to the National Library of Medicine, 65-70% of adults and children relapse within the first 90 days of attending in-patient treatment. Further, another study showed that only 21% of residents in highly supportive Sober Living houses relapsed within six months of attending treatment.

Sober Living Houses that are situated in a supportive surrounding environment are thus proven to be 46.5% more successful in keeping people sober during the time when they are most vulnerable to relapse.
