Sober living means is that it's a like-minded people agreeing not to use drugs or alcohol. And you know, in theory, sober livings were supposed to be like-minded people living together, and what it's turned into is a very profitable business because it's when the housing market turned and tanked.
Picture this: you or a loved one checks into a sober living home in sunny Southern California, hoping for a safe space to recover and rebuild. But what if that haven is actually a hotspot for exploitation and abuse? In this gripping episode of 'Safe Recovery', hosts Monica Richardson and Patrick Gavin Church pull back the curtain on the darker side of these facilities.
They reveal shocking stories of sex trafficking, power abuse, and the grim reality faced by many residents, both straight and gay. Sober living homes were supposed to be sanctuaries where people could find support and community. However, the lack of regulation has turned some of these places into profit-driven operations that prey on vulnerable individuals, especially those with dual diagnoses. Monica and Patrick dive deep into how AA culture can sometimes contribute to this predatory environment.
The conversation doesn't stop at just highlighting the problems. Monica and Patrick also discuss alternative recovery methods that prioritize empowerment over powerlessness, offering hope and practical advice for those seeking a safer path to sobriety. This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the hidden pitfalls in the addiction recovery industry.
If you're curious about what really goes on behind the doors of Southern California's sober living homes, this episode will open your eyes to a world that desperately needs more oversight and accountability.
