About Second Chance Sobriety Homes

Second Chance Sobriety Home is a sober living house for adults in San Jose, California. They support your continued sobriety through peer support under the supervision of a house manager. You don’t have to have completed an inpatient detox or rehab program to reside at the sober house, but you must be drug and alcohol free when you move in. You also have to be committed to staying that way with support and continuing treatment.

One attractive aspect is that they are staffed by persons who are also in recovery. That means you’ll get coaching and encouragement from people who’ve been there and who know what you’re going through. You’ll be expected to abide by house rules, including daily curfews, help with household chores, and consent to random drug and alcohol testing. You’ll also be required to continue working on your recovery, including attending recovery education programs, 12 Step meetings, and outpatient treatment as prescribed by your care team.

You’ll develop essential life skills to maintain a sober lifestyle and ensure your wellbeing in mind, body, spirit, career, and relationships. Sober living requires a minimum of a 30 day commitment, but you may live there for up to 6-12 months, if you comply with house rules and pay your mo
monthly fees.

Previous residents have positive things to say about the program. One person said that the disciplined environment, combined with the liberty to go out in town and work, were essential in cementing their triumph over a temporary mental health or substance use crisis. A surcharge is issued for anyone who falls back on their recovery program and relapses, should they seek readmission afterwards.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

If you want 10 people per bathroom and as a hundred percent service-connected veteran if you want to be told by the owner when you complain about the rats in the bed night and he asks you if you're really a soldier I would be able to deal with these sort of adversities choosing displace honestly you might as well stay on the street yes those are real pictures taken November first I am fortunate and I am blessed and I am courageous because I am a military veteran and they will not scare me into being alone and on the street which is where is standing up and posting my pictures has put me God bless those that are still there

Been to more than a few SLE s and second chance houses are by far the most comfortable I ve been in. My house is kept up pretty well by the residents. The rent is a few hundred dollars cheaper than my last house and my room is much bigger . Great choice of mine to stay here m

As a therapist who specializes in working with those struggling with substance abuse and codependency, I've had many opportunities to interact with the staff of Second Chance. Each time I've reached out I've been pleased to receive stellar communication and support. The homes are well run and rules are consistently reinforced with compassion.I'm so pleased to have safe, clean and professional sober living houses in the recovery community.

I have several friends that have stayed at Second Chance, and I am very grateful there are supportive SLE's like this in the Bay Area.There is a structure and accountability involved with Second Chance that many other THU's (transitional housing units) and SLE's don't have. The house managers/assistant house managers that care and take time with house mates helps build compassion and trust with people that have forgotten what that feels like. House meetings for support, chores to build unity and responsibility, sobriety accountability; these are foundations to a lasting recovery and hard to develop living on your own in the early stages of recovery!I work in the field of addiction/recovery, and I wish all people had the knowledge and resources to access a safe and sober living environment like Second Chance provides.Second Chance, while it doesn't come at a cheap price, provides a strong foundation that can help the addict and/or alcoholic in early sobriety.Every little bit of insurance against relapse is an investment I encourage people to make. It really is an investment in your life and worth every penny.

When we needed to find a place for my sister, we looked at several different options and this was by far the best option. The person we talked to on the phone was super helpful and answered all of my questions and really made me feel comfortable. Plus the house is clean and nice and in a good area. I'm so happy this place exists!

This place has been super instrumental in helping me in my recovery. The managers took the time to answer all my questions and help me feel safe and taken care of. Plus the house is super nice and clean and was not at all what I was expecting. This place is amazing!

Second Chance provides a safe and comfortable living environment for people in early recovery. Mark and his experienced team know how important a safe home is, and that knowledge and effort is a direct reflection of the houses that he runs. If you are ready to make a change in your life, Second Chance is a great place to start.

I have my own experience with sober living and I can really appreciate the way Second Chance Sobriety Homes are set up. I strongly feel as though the structure is an absolute necessity in formulating a successful foundation for recovery. I currently work at a facility and regularly refer clients here because I know living in any of these homes is exactly what many of our clients need as they step down from treatment and transition back into society and into a routine that fits their new lifestyle. My previous clients have had much success living at Second Chance and I highly recommend these homes to anyone considering sober living.

I am the COO at Wellness Retreat Recovery Center, a luxury inpatient addiction treatment program in San Jose.Mark's collection of sober living homes is always at the top of my SLE referral list primarily because Mark's homes are TRUE sober living environments- a result of the close monitoring by the house managers in each of Mark's homes. Way too many SLE's become havens for relapsed clients. This endangers every other resident by increasing the chance for relapse due to substance exposure. The whole purpose of residing in an SLE is to minimize relapse risk by controlling exposure in the "home " environment.Many other SLEs allow relapsed/relapsing clients to remain in the home if the "offender" pays a certain fee or sleeps elsewhere for a couple of days (at which time they're welcome to come back).Mark's houses are different- mark does the "right thing" by referring the relapsing resident to a more secure, higher level of care. This minimizes risk for the other residents and also allows the relapsing client to receive the more intensive care they unquestionably need if they're relapsing.Additionally, Mark's homes are certified through the state. This certification is optional - SLE's don't require state cert and the vast majority operate without any state oversight- and speaks to Mark's dedication to his clients' long-term sobriety.

I spoke with 4 different SLE programs when I was leaving treatment, and I had the best impression of Second Chance. I moved in and was allowed the autonomy to get back to work, develop my sober program in San Jose, and have a safe/comfortable home to return to daily. The nightly house meeting kept me grounded, the chores kept me accountable to my house mates, and I had a lot of free time to discuss life and sobriety with good people in the house. I honestly see no way that my first year of sobriety could have gone as well as it did without the type of environment that Second Chance fosters.
