SPSL Model
St. Paul Sober Living (SPSL) provides comprehensive, housing and recovery support for individuals beginning to build a life in early recovery. Rooted in the sober community, and based on the peer support model we will help our residents develop a productive and meaningful routine, cultivate resilience and self-sufficiency, and ultimately achieve full independence.
We worked with experts in the industry to design a proactive approach engaging each resident into the core of the recovery community through a productive routine, healthy activities, and a focus on group unity.

Phase 1 is our highly-structured initial 30-day schedule driven program focused on establishing the crucial elements of a balanced sober lifestyle and functional routine.
-
Phase 2 (Months 2-6)
Transition to a more self-directed schedule. Increased availability for work, possible move to another home with peers, but still in a highly accountable and supportive environment.
