The Admissions Process at Drew's Sober Living

Contact Drew's

Phone screening
A brief conversation about recovery background, treatment history, current situation, and sober living needs to see if Drewโs is the right fit for long term recovery and support.

What Drew's Sober Living Requires for Admission
Drew’s accepts men who are ready to commit to structured, accountability-based sober living. Admission requirements are the same across all three houses.
Applicants must be male and 18 or older. Every resident commits to the full program: daily breathalyzer testing, bi-weekly drug screening, a 30-hour weekly work requirement, daily 12-step meeting attendance, and financial literacy training.
ย
Completion of a primary treatment program is strongly recommended. Applicants who have not attended treatment must demonstrate active recovery commitment and pass initial screening before admission. Drew’s does not accept active substance users. Sobriety begins before move-in, not after.
What to Bring and What It Costs to Move In
What to bring: Personal clothing, hygiene items, a valid ID, and any prescribed medications in original packaging. Each house provides furnished bedrooms, linens, kitchen access, laundry, and shared living areas.
