What is sober living?
A sober living home is a shared, alcohol and drug-free residence for people in recovery. Residents pay rent, follow house rules, attend recovery meetings and support one another while they work, study and rebuild independent lives. Lowcountry Renewal offers that structure in three homes across Charleston, SC.
Sober Living Home or Halfway House? What's the Difference
If you searched for a halfway house in Charleston because you need a safe, sober place to live, a sober living home like ours may be exactly what you need. We accept referrals from courts, probation and treatment centers, and we welcome people who contact us directly.
Halfway House
Sober Living Homes (Lowcountry Renewal LLC)
Recovery-focused shared residence
Often chosen after detox or treatment
Built around accountability and peer support
People often use "halfway house" and "sober living" to mean the same thing, but they are usually different. A halfway house is often government-funded or connected to the justice system, with placement arranged by a court, parole or probation officer. A sober living home is a recovery-focused residence, often chosen after treatment, built around accountability and peer support.
