Confirm your bed

We read through the house rules and the resident agreement with you, answer your questions, and hold a bed once you have a move-in date.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is sober living?
A structured, alcohol- and drug-free home where people in recovery live together under shared rules (curfew, chores, 12-step meetings, random testing) while they work, study, and rebuild independent life. It is housing with structure, not treatment or detox.
What are the benefits of sober living?
It gives early recovery three things that are hard to hold onto alone: structure, accountability, and people who understand. Clear house rules, a curfew, and random testing take daily temptation and decision-making off your plate. Living with others in recovery, plus regular house meetings and steady 12-step work, builds a support network and keeps isolation from creeping in. Being expected to get back to work or school rebuilds routine and independence a step at a time. Studies of recovery residences link this kind of structured, peer-based housing to longer stretches of abstinence and steadier employment.
How much does it cost?
$200 per week, covering rent, all utilities, Wi-Fi, laundry, random testing and house support. Plus a one-time $200 refundable deposit. Rent is paid weekly, in advance.
How do I get a bed?
Call or text 610-884-6619 for a short phone screening. If it’s a good fit, you review the house rules and agreement, arrange the first week, and move in, usually within a few days.
How long can I stay?
There’s no fixed limit. Most residents stay three to twelve months. We ask for a 30-day minimum commitment.
Are you MAT friendly?
Yes. Residents on prescribed buprenorphine (Suboxone), methadone, naltrexone (Vivitrol) and other medications are welcome. Medications are stored securely and taken per your prescriber’s plan.
Is it covered by insurance?
Usually not. Sober living is housing, so plan on private pay. Most residents cover it through work, savings, or family. Coverage and funding vary, though, so if you have a case manager or a possible funding source, tell us and we’ll work with them.
Can I work or go to school?
Yes, and it’s encouraged. Many residents are working, in school, or in a day program, and the house schedule supports that.
What’s the drug testing policy?
Random, observed drug and alcohol testing. A positive test, or refusing one, is treated as a relapse and handled with a safety plan.
What happens if someone relapses?
Safety comes first. We help arrange a higher level of care and a safe place to go, and residents can re-apply once they’re stable.
Can family visit?
Yes, approved visitors during posted visiting hours. No overnight guests.
Are the homes co-ed?
Yes. Evo Living’s homes are co-ed. Men and women in recovery live in the same houses, with the same rules and structure for everyone. Bedrooms are shared.
Do you allow pets?
Documented service animals are welcome. Other pets are not permitted.
What is the minimum age?
18 and older.
