Key Elements of an Exceptional Therapeutic Sober Living Facility
A truly exceptional therapeutic sober living facility is built on the foundation of consistent, compassionate support. At Independence Again, we believe that healing thrives in an environment where residents feel a genuine sense of belonging. From the moment someone joins our community, they become part of our extended family. Our team provides guidance through every step of the recovery journey, encouraging accountability while fostering acceptance. We stand by each resident's choices, allowing natural consequences—both positive and negative—to become valuable learning experiences.
CAN SOBER LIVING ALONE MEET THE NEEDS OF MY LOVED ONE?
Sober living alone is rarely enough.
Sustainable recovery often requires a comprehensive approach. Independence Again follows a "least restrictive environment plan" tailored to each resident’s needs. Our experienced team—comprised of CPRS and LADAC professionals with over 50 years of combined expertise—curates personalized care plans that may include detox services, residential treatment, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), mental health counseling, MRT, support meetings, and other customized interventions. This individualized approach lays the groundwork for long-term success and holistic healing.
PREVIOUS APPROACHES FELL SHORT—WHY SHOULD THIS BE ANY BETTER?
Scientific research supports the transformative power of community, as demonstrated by the Rat Park Theory. This theory suggests that people immersed in supportive, structured environments with meaningful social connections are more likely to adopt and maintain healthier lifestyles. At Independence Again, we create a dynamic community where residents collaborate on shared goals, participate in structured therapeutic programs, and find purpose in their daily lives. With personalized care plans, evidence-based interventions, and a strong support network, we empower residents to break free from the cycles of addiction and build a future full of hope and possibility.
What does it cost?
Why choose a sober living facility?
Getting started at Independence Again requires a one-time entry fee based on the program the resident enrolls in starting at $320, followed by a weekly rent fee st$16ing at $160. This fee covers essential services including housing, utilities, internet access, case management services, random drug and alcohol testing, and reasonable transportation assistance. Additional fees may apply based on individual needs. The only other fee is a supplies fee starting at $3 a week.
The entry fee is due at the time of admission. If a resident anticipates difficulty covering the weekly fee, we encourage a family session to explore potential solutions. All payments are processed electronically, and residents are advised not to accept direct financial assistance from family or friends.

Program Timeline: Personalized Pathways to Recovery
After completing the intake process, each resident undergoes a comprehensive assessment to develop a personalized recovery plan. The Sober Living Program requires a minimum six-month commitment, with no maximum length of stay — allowing residents the time they need to build a solid foundation for independence.
Our MAT (Medication-Assisted Treatment) Program integrates Sober Living requirements with additional supportive services, offering specialized care for those utilizing MAT in their recovery journey.
For low-needs residents with existing life skills, the Recovery Collective House Program provides a 90-day low-service option. This program meets the Tennessee Parole Board's mandate for halfway house requirements, offering structured, short-term support to help participants transition successfully back into the community.
No matter where you are on your recovery journey, Independence Again is committed to providing the resources and support you need to thrive.
