This became more than sober living. This was a family, this was home. I would recommend this to everyone. I really enjoyed my time here and am extremely grateful for real deal sober living.

The house managers go above and beyond to help guys at the house. He makes this sober living great. Great place for adults to get a fresh start!

WHAT IS THE COST OF LIVING ALONE IN FARMERS BRANCH?
Not only is living alone more expensive, but it does not provide the most important aspect of sober living at Real Deal, the accountability. Living alone does not offer live-in managers whose sole focus is to manage chores, meetings, and residents. Nor does living alone have the element of community action– people who operate as a unit towards a common goal.

BENEFITS OF OUR FARMERS BRANCH SOBER LIVING
A sober living program bridges achieving sobriety and beginning life in the real world. At Real Deal, we believe recovery goes beyond merely abstaining from drugs and alcohol, especially in the vibrant city of Farmers Branch.
If we stopped using drugs and alcohol but had nothing else to live for, we would be miserable. Furthermore, this is not the way to find happiness in recovery. Recovery is a journey we take with the help of others, and happiness comes from the journey itself. For this reason, we compiled the major benefits of sober living and why it’s so crucial to recovery.
Community
It’s important for everyone- especially in recovery. It is extremely difficult to make any change without support. Imagine beginning your life without parents or guardians to support you. Starting the journey of recovery is similar. Altogether, we need a community to survive. In sober living, we are all struggling with the disease of addiction. Above all, we only have a chance of success by working together.
Accountability
Holding together communities and friendships are the glue of accountability. We must be accountable for our actions in recovery. Furthermore, we must make changes to correct the mistakes we make. If we live in sober living, we will have built-in accountability. From daily check-ins and UA testing to accountability meetings, Real Deal provides the foundation for strong accountability in every sober living environment.
Open-Mindedness
As addicts, we always think very highly of ourselves. We believe we know what’s right. Considering we hold on to that belief while our lives are imploding, it sounds crazy. In short, we end up drug addicts but still somehow believe we know how to live properly! Conversely, we are doomed if we do not smash the delusion of being all-knowing and become open to change! Luckily, sober living gives us the tools to be open-minded, even if it might be painful initially.
Discipline
Building and maintaining discipline may be the most important aspect of creating a new life. When we get sober, we have to change our life. To do this, we must start with simple things like making our beds, cleaning ourselves, and opening the door for strangers. As a result, this “trickle-down effect,” as we call it, affects every aspect of our lives. It all starts with a little discipline, from being better employees to being better friends.
Why Choose Sober Living in Farmers Branch?
Most clients decide to extend their care through sober living in Farmers Branch because it is the best way to transition from a supervised treatment facility to “real life.”
Being new to recovery can make you feel vulnerable and unsure. Many recovery patients are estranged from family members or have been forced to cut ties to preserve their sobriety. Returning to the home where they lived before getting treatment may not be a safe or healthy option.
A sober living house provides a secure home where residents can practice the skills they learned in rehab. It also provides a continuum of care. Residents can interact with many of the same peers and mental health professionals they bonded with during their drug and alcohol addiction treatment.
While living in one of our sober house locations, residents can continue to work on rebuilding their lives. Continuing with family therapy, peer support groups, and self-growth helps residents build a stronger foundation to support long-term sobriety.
Living with others who also choose to remain sober creates a layer of safety and accountability that isn’t always available to those who opt to live independently immediately after treatment.
The first several weeks or months after treatment is a time to rediscover yourself without drugs or alcohol. While there are still responsibilities that must be met while living in sober housing, residents typically have more time and freedom to explore all available options and chart a new course.
What Is a Recovery House?
A recovery or sober house is a safe and welcoming place to continue your recovery journey. Receiving treatment is a giant step toward reclaiming your health, but it is only the first step in a long, happy life free of drugs and alcohol.
The services offered by sober living facilities and outpatient programs provide essential resources for those who have completed treatment but need continued accountability and access to mental health care.
Living in a Real Deal Sober Living recovery house in Farmers Branch, Texas, doesn’t mean you are exempt from daily responsibilities. Learning how to meet day-to-day obligations is one of the benefits of staying with us. In our sober living programs, residents must keep a daily schedule that includes meditation, participation in accountability meetings, and taking the necessary steps to rebuild their lives.
If needed, residents receive assistance with all stages of job searching and making arrangements for future housing. Our sober living homes also provide the stability to repair broken relationships with friends and family.
Transitioning to a recovery house shows family members you are serious about your sobriety. As you adjust to a sober life, your loved ones can adjust to the new sober you.
Support may be the greatest gift found in a recovery house. Not only do you receive the support of staff and mental health professionals, but you also receive the support of peers you may have already come to know and care about during treatment.
Having a strong network of like-minded peers can make all the difference when it comes time to leave the safety net of sober living and spread your wings again.
Why are Pet-Friendly Sober Living Homes Important?
One of the primary messages of recovery is that helping others is an important component of maintaining sobriety. Any activity that helps a person consider the needs of another supports long-term recovery. Caring for a pet is an unselfish act that often requires one to put another living being’s needs above their own.
Not every program offers, but we understand the value pets bring to the lives of recovery home residents and prefer to maintain a case-by-case acceptance policy. A well-behaved pet in the home benefits every resident, even if they aren’t directly responsible for the animal’s care.
Even a single guppy in a bowl requires daily care. It must be fed, and its environment must be kept clean for the fish to thrive. Cats and dogs require even more disciplined care. Performing these daily tasks allows residents to practice dedication and discipline — two characteristics integral to maintaining sobriety.
Pets also teach lessons about accepting the things we cannot control. As adorable and loving as they are, pets have minds of their own. Learning to love a pet despite its unpredictable behaviors teaches patience, tolerance, and acceptance. This becomes even truer as pets age and depends more on their humans for compassionate care.
Pet-friendly sober living homes offer residents more opportunities to engage in group activities, like taking a dog on a pack walk. Sharing the responsibility of caring for a pet, even if not your own, also means sharing the unconditional love and joy pets bring to life.
