Steps to Recovery

Living in the Solution

Step-by-step, the residents of Boca House regain the self confidence and sense of worth lost while living with their addiction. And every step of the way our halfway house residents receive the peer-to-peer support so essential to developing and maintaining a substance-free lifestyle.

Our services allow you to transition through three stages of independent sober living.

Stage I (Months 1-2)
Stage 1 is all about orientation and adjustment. You will be assigned a big brother who will help guide you through the early stages, and for the first two weeks, you will be driven daily to 12-step meetings in the area. This will allow you to build a support group in recovery outside Boca House, even as you develop supportive friendships within the Boca House community.

Stage II (Months 3-4)
For Stage II residents, there is more flexibility. The satisfaction of gainful employment and the daily rewards of a healthy lifestyle should make each day a little easier. Curfews are later and meetings focus more on relapse prevention.

Stage III (Months 4+)
This Senior Stage is designed for residents who wish to continue their recovery in a safe environment. It offers you more independence with a continued emphasis on full-time employment and 12-step meetings, while maintaining an ongoing relationship with your sponsor. This stage is all about helping you meet the challenges of living clean and sober.

GRADUATE (Months 8+)
Graduating affords you the opportunity to become fully responsible for yourself, without the supervision of others, and still take advantage of the Boca House community. We have seven graduate houses, each beautifully furnished with bedroom and private bath for up to four Boca House graduates. And each residence has its own swimming pool.
