brookside sober living homes candler

This sober living home in Candler, a small community west of Asheville in western North Carolina, gives residents a shared house with a predictable daily rhythm. The guiding idea is that people in recovery help each other, and the founders remain closely involved in the house and the broader recovery community. It is a place to stabilize after treatment and practice the routines of independent living.

Each day has structure, with house meetings, meditation, mutual aid meetings, and ordinary household duties. Inside the home, support is available at all hours. It is not a medical facility and offers no detox or clinical treatment on site, so it suits a person who has finished treatment or been assessed as stable enough for a peer-supported residence. If you need detox or clinical care first, then licensed providers can be matched to you by the helpline in North Carolina before you move in.

The region has many outpatient and clinical options nearby, which matters if a resident needs counseling or medical appointments while living here. When you choose the monthly rate that includes transportation, then residents without a car can still get to work, meetings, and appointments without adding a separate expense.

What is listed here is sober living, which is not the same as inpatient or residential clinical treatment. Days revolve around relapse prevention counseling, one-on-one counseling, group therapy, life skills work, meditation and mindfulness, recreation therapy, and Twelve Step facilitation. AA and NA meetings fit into the weekly rhythm, along with games and physical fitness. If you are weighing whether this level of structure is enough, then a phone call can help you sort that out before you commit to anything.

People living here receive assistance with money management and financial planning, help finding employment, and a daily structure that brings consistency to mornings and evenings. The program includes drug testing, and both discharge planning and alumni gatherings help residents maintain connections after they move out.

Costs and how payment works in Candler

The rates shown are $1,700 a month when transportation support is included and $1,500 a month without it, plus a $300 admission fee. Sober living typically comes out of pocket rather than through insurance, and nothing on this page can confirm what a given plan pays for. Speak with the house directly about its fee schedule and what the admission fee covers. If you want to check insurance for clinical treatment elsewhere in North Carolina, then the helpline can connect you with providers and verify coverage before you decide.

• Is the $1,700 rate with transportation or the $1,500 rate without it the better fit for my situation
• What house rules apply to curfew, visitors, work, and drug screening
• How are roommate assignments and shared rooms handled
• What happens if I relapse or need a higher level of care while living here
