Sober Living Support

Safe, Structured Housing During Early Recovery

For many individuals stepping down from detox, PHP, or IOP, a return to their previous living environment can pose challenges to their sobriety. That’s where sober living becomes essential.

We connect clients with trusted sober living homes in and around Orange County, offering drug- and alcohol-free environments where residents can continue building healthy routines, peer accountability, and life skills.

Benefits of sober living include:

  • A stable, recovery-focused environment

  • House rules, curfews, and routine

  • Peer support from others in sobriety

  • Easy access to outpatient therapy and community resources

  • Increased success rates for long-term sobriety

Whether you’re just completing a higher level of care or need a supportive transition, sober living support gives you the structure to stay grounded in early recovery.

Personalized Aftercare Planning

A Roadmap for Long-Term Sobriety

From your first day at Orange County Detox Center, we begin working on your aftercare plan—a customized strategy to guide your recovery long after treatment ends.

Our team collaborates with you and your support system to build a plan that reflects your needs, goals, and living situation. Whether you’re returning home, moving into sober living, or relocating, we make sure you leave treatment with clarity, resources, and a plan for success.

Your aftercare plan may include:

  • Referrals to individual or group therapy

  • Psychiatric follow-up and medication management

  • Enrollment in IOP or OP (if not already completed)

  • Sober living placement assistance

  • Recovery meeting recommendations (AA, NA, SMART Recovery)

  • Life coaching, job readiness, or educational support

  • Relapse prevention strategies tailored to your triggers

This proactive planning gives you the tools to build confidence and independence, while maintaining access to professional support.

Alumni Program

Stay Connected, Stay Inspired

Our Alumni Program is the heart of our long-term recovery community. It’s where past clients come together to share experiences, give back, and stay grounded in the recovery lifestyle.

We believe staying connected after treatment significantly increases the chances of lifelong sobriety—because community, purpose, and support are essential.

Alumni Program features:

  • Monthly alumni meetups and group outings

  • Peer mentoring opportunities

  • Guest speaker panels and recovery workshops

  • Ongoing access to resources and referrals

FAQs About Aftercare & Long-Term Support

Frequently Asked Questions

Aftercare refers to the ongoing support and planning that takes place after a person completes detox or a structured treatment program like PHP or IOP. It may include therapy referrals, sober living placement, support groups, relapse prevention strategies, and participation in alumni programs. At Orange County Detox Center, every client receives a personalized aftercare plan to support long-term recovery.

Sober living homes provide a structured, substance-free environment where individuals can continue building healthy routines while transitioning back to independence. These homes offer peer accountability, support, and consistency—critical factors in reducing relapse risk. They’re especially helpful after PHP or IOP when clients are not yet ready to return to their previous living situations.

Sober living is recommended for anyone who:

  • Is stepping down from residential or outpatient treatment

  • Does not have a stable or sober home environment

  • Wants extra accountability during early recovery

  • Needs time to build life skills and routines before full independence

A typical aftercare plan at Orange County Detox Center may include:

  • Weekly therapy or psychiatric follow-ups

  • Enrollment in IOP or OP

  • Recovery meeting recommendations (AA, NA, SMART Recovery)

  • Sober living referrals

  • Relapse prevention and trigger management tools

  • Job readiness, education planning, or vocational support

An alumni program is a community-driven support network for people who have completed treatment. It includes regular meetups, events, volunteer opportunities, and continued access to resources. Alumni programs promote ongoing connection, accountability, and purpose—key factors in maintaining long-term sobriety.
