2007 marked the inception of Sober-Living, a platform dedicated to disseminating accurate, comprehensive, and unbiased information about sober-living practices, communities, and resources. Our journey began with a clear vision: to bridge the information gap prevalent on the internet regarding recovery, sobriety, and the various paths individuals take towards a healthier lifestyle.
Our founding story is rooted in the observation that while there was no scarcity of voices in the conversation about sober-living, there was a significant lack of reliable, evidence-based content. We saw the need for a news website that could provide readers with a clear, factual understanding of the challenges and triumphs in the sober-living community. Our commitment to this mission has been our guiding principle since day one.
Over the years, Sober-Living has achieved several milestones, including becoming a trusted resource for individuals seeking information on recovery, as well as for professionals and advocates working within the field of substance use disorders. Our significant achievements include hosting annual symposiums that bring together experts in the field to discuss advancements and best practices, and launching a series of educational articles and resources that have been widely praised for their clarity and depth.
Our core values—integrity, empathy, and innovation—are the bedrock upon which we operate. We strive to uphold these values through our dedication to unbiased information and accuracy. Our editorial process is rigorous, involving peer review and fact-checking by experts in the field of addiction studies to ensure that the content we publish is both reliable and trustworthy.
Our target audience includes individuals on their sober-living journey, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and researchers. We serve this diverse group by providing them with a wealth of information, including news articles, personal stories, research findings, and resources for support and recovery. Our readers can engage with us through our comment sections, by participating in our forums, and by submitting their own stories or suggestions for topics they wish to see covered.
