As she got close to completing a 90-day inpatient addiction-treatment program, Brenda Meizo thought she should be feeling jubilant. Sober for the longest stretch in years, she was about to step out into the world, to go back to her real life. But instead of feeling excited, she was scared.
Though she’d successfully made it through treatment, Meizo knew she needed more time to make her newfound make sobriety stick.

For many people, a few months spent living in sober housing can be an essential step in the recovery process.
