About First Step Sober Living
First Step Sober Living (FSSL) is an organization that provides men and women with safe environments in which they can build new lives free from addiction. In Carlsbad, California, you’ll find one of their sober living homes for men near the Saint Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church.
Balancing Structure and Freedom
In this sober living environment, they have a strict policy against bringing drugs or alcohol onto the premises. They expect residents to start their days at a set time and require attendance at self help meetings.
These three pillars of their program create the safety and structure needed to build toward a productive future free from addiction. Beyond these core pillars, First Step Sober Living encourages residents to find meaningful employment, engage in hobbies and socialize.
Their on-site staff are also mindful of the fact that most people in recovery continue with AA and NA meetings during this season, and their program makes space for that.
Staying Sober and Living Well
There are several great amenities in the house itself and in the surrounding neighborhood. They have WiFi, computers, entertainment areas and washing and drying machines. They’re also located near several restaurants and grocery stores, as well as the Leo Carillo Historical Park and the Lake San Marcos Cross.
