Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have my car there?

Residents can have a vehicle as soon as they enter our program, provided their driver’s license, insurance, and tag information are all valid.

What if I have a job working nights or third shift?

Job considerations should include nightly curfew and House meetings. Unfortunately, we can’t accommodate someone working overnight or on “graveyard” shift.

How long is the Program?

Six months to two years typically provides time for Residents to establish a foundation in Recovery established. We ask for a six month commitment.

Is this treatment?

No. Sober living is not in a facility, and should not feel like an institution. Instead of providing medical/clinical services, we are providing support and accountability while Residents develop the independent living skills necessary for healthy, sober living well after their stay with us.

When can I have a phone?

Phones are allowed upon entry.

I already have a sponsor. Do I have to get a new one?

We strongly suggest that residents have a sponsor that they can meet with on a weekly basis. Sponsors should also be accessible by phone between in-person meetings.

Can my family visit?

Family is always welcome at Tried and True. Residents are eligible for overnight passes in Phase II, and are expected to process these in the House Meeting prior.
