ABOUT US
All Because of Sobriety House (ABOS House) was established because two of our founders are recovering alcoholics and addicts themselves. Navigating the treatment process can be difficult, so we opened a sober living community to help residence regain confidence and solidify recovery as you or your loved one transition from treatment to independent living. Our sober living home is somewhere you can relate to fellow residences by providing a powerful support structure and working together to start on a new path to self-sufficiency. We know, after your initial treatment, it may feel overwhelming to resume your old life. ABOS House is a phase in the recovery process to help transition to a healthy and renewed life. It is a journey to the ultimate destination of sobriety.
Through our knowledge, the programs of A.A., N.A. and 12-step fellowship we will show you or your loved one there is help and there is hope. As one quote states, “Before you say I can’t, say I’ll try”. Nothing is going to happen today that you and God can not handle.
