A sober living environment that supports individuals in recovery is called what?

• A. Recovery residence
• B. Recovery coach
• C. Rapid detox
• D. Reinforcement

Answer: (A)

A sober living environment provides a structured, drug- and alcohol-free place to live that supports ongoing recovery through peer support, accountability, and stability. This setting is known as a recovery residence. It’s designed to bridge treatment and independent living, offering rules, shared responsibilities, and access to supportive peers as people work to maintain sobriety.

Recovery coach refers to a person who guides someone in their recovery rather than a place to live. Rapid detox is a medical procedure for extracting substances quickly, not a housing option. Reinforcement is a behavioral principle used to encourage or discourage behaviors, not a living environment.
