Teras Experience

Clients of Teras may also be involved in outpatient treatment while they develop a foundation in their recovery work, and apply to work positions. After 30 days, clients are expected to be employed while they continue progress in their recovery work. They continue to meet with their case manager weekly and participate in community support activities. Teras, also located in Lexington MA, offers a less structured, but still supportive model of high standards sober living. That study found that freestanding SLH’s offer enough structure, with no formal treatment, creating an optimal environment for residents ready for the next step.

Not all sober living homes are the same and in fact beyond the differences in “amenities”, there are many other important factors to consider.
