My inspiration for Sierra House comes as a parent. I watched two of my children move through in-patient treatment and then find the time and space they needed in sober living environments. In each house my children found a supportive sober community that helped them to become more independent with the help of solid coaching and case management. Over time, each of my children rebuilt their lives as sober adults in ways that were greatly facilitated by their experiences in sober living environments.
At Sierra House we believe the transition from early sobriety to recovery requires community, accountability and time. Our goal is for residents to leave Sierra House in full enjoyment of a life they don’t want to risk by using drugs and alcohol again. And, it is our goal that former residents maintain their connection to Sierra House and remain members of our extended community.
Sincerely,
- Jeremiah M. Bogert, Jr.
Up to 12 residents live together in the house. People are welcome to go to meetings and other activities together. Some residents may be participating in treatment or going to work or school during the day. All residents know that they have a safe and sober community to return to at the end of the day where they will find support and community.
Staff members offer a variety of support aimed at facilitating the transition to life after Sierra House. We offer support with resume building, with education counseling and can connect residents to mentoring which can include ongoing drug testing. Residents can expect support in finding their next living space as well. Lastly, all residents are always welcomed back to Sierra House for a meal, to pick people up for a meeting or simply a cup of coffee and some conversation.
