dub72off in Corona, California 25 months ago	I'm letting people know, there is a company in California called Transitional Solutions For Better Living. "transitionalsolutions.info" They can help you start a sober living home, or a residential treatment center. It's not that expensive and you can make double or triple your investment in your first month after licensing. They give free consultations. Check them out for yourself, and please leave your comment. Let me know what you think. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (2) / No Reply - Report abuse

rick in Austin, Texas 24 months ago	There are never enough GOOD sober houses. I manage 2 houses in Austin Texas. The profit margin lie between 45% to 50% when at full capacity. If you have not done this type of project before expect a lot learned from trial and error. Marketing is the biggest factor. There are plenty of potential clients. Resources for these clients are essential. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail. rickrodden@hotmail.com Good luck - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse

I have been trying to use this compensation model at one of my sober homes for 2 years now, but every time, the Leader refuses to honor his part to deserve the deal, or they start thinking they are worth something else & start short-cutting or stealing before we get to the point of compensation... VERY frustrating to work so hard to help a person reach compensation just to have them unappreciative... We are now going without a Leader & using House Conscience... - Was this comment helpful?

Barry L. in Lake Worth, Florida 16 months ago	What certifications shou;d I be equiped with? I am considering taking a job running a sober house. I am a Fern House Alumni in West Palm Beach Fl, and have 9 years, I ride with the 3rd tradition and have alot of fun in soberity, I want the best for my residents. The Fern House was a 6 month tough mens program and am proud to be a part of. The landlord of the property is selfish and has no understing if the program or "us" people. He wants to put two men in an 8ft bt 13 ft room for example at $125.00 each! I told him death row inmates have more space. Keep comin back! Barry L. - Was this comment helpful?

Bill in Chico, CA in Gerber, California 16 months ago	Looks like Fern House now charges $50 admittance fee and 1 week rent of $203. If rent is $203/week for ones own room, or $125/week for a shared room, the selfish landlord is not all that selfish, just offering alternatives. - Was this comment helpful?

I was wondering if the house manager need his own private room. Too, I had plan to give 10% of rent collected and pay quarterly bonuss. My advice is based on 4 years experience owning & operating Sober Livings. In that time, i have learned from many mistakes & had similar thoughts as you may have when planning my first one. Hope I do not offend... Avoid terms like "Manager", as it implies that they are on payroll, which creates tax liability & may open you to legal liabilities, as a "Manager" is expected to be professionally qualified. Sober Livings are meant to be voluntary sober environments with no staff. In many cases the person will tend to act under inflated aurhority or ego. "House Leader" is more appropriate, as it is intended to be a service commitment. Examples of humility are important. A private room is nice, but may create a "territorial" attitude. My Leaders share their room, as this is the example of humility that the rest of the house needs to follow. 10% plus bonus is great to shoot for, but it is not easy to fill a house initially. Don't make a commitment that may cause animosity during lean times. If I can help, feel free email: harmony-sd@cox.net. Best Wishes!

Pam 14 months ago	I live next to a sober living facility. It is a small house with 5 men living there. They are not maintaining their sobriety and it is the manager that I see drinking and tossing his bottle over the fence. Who would I report this too.......I am not against this type of facility but I think the residents MUST maintain sobriety. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
emiller in San Diego, California 14 months ago	Pam said: ..They are not maintaining their sobriety and it is the manager that I see drinking and tossing his bottle over the fence. Who would I report this too.. See if you can contact the owner, and find out what (real) her/his view of this situation is, first. If they are part of a coalition or the Sober Living Network (which I doubt), you can contact them. Otherwise, you can contact local authorities about the littering, and other nuisance factors. (Let the owner know that you're prepared to do this, if things don't change.) Most local governments have codes (parking, etc.) that are often indirectly applied toward sober living houses that are problems in their neighborhoods. In an ideal world you'd want to talk with the manager himself, but if he's drinking that's a no-go. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
