The program:

“ It is only by understanding and application that they work”

For many years before making the decision to change our daily livings condition, many of us have lived our lives based on self-will and undisciplined principles that had led us back time and time again to the pain misery and confusion we know so well. Therefore Florida Sober House recommends that our clients stay, grow and learn with us a minimum of 6 months.

Florida Sober House provides our clients with a step by step comprehensive method of recovery based upon but not limited to the 12 steps of Alcohol and Narcotics Anonymous. We offer our clients a vast array of informative programs to participate in including Life Skills, Job Readiness, Anger Management and Faith based self-exploration.

Florida Sober House also assists in on the job training and job placement. Our program is a Solution orientated  4 phase  program in which progression through each phase is in direct proportion to a clients understanding, application, attitude , behavior and value system.

Brief outlay of our current Skillz Program topics

Job readiness 1-This module takes an in depth look at the perceived misconception that recovering addicts and-offender are not employable men and women. Job readiness 1 speaks in details of definitions, understanding work relationships, training, assets & liabilities, attitudes & behaviors, substituting work for a recovery and much more. This module also provides mock interviews with real employers.

Job readiness 2- This module incorporates all the principles from above and includes Plan of action, introduction to a business plan, the Marketing Process and the 5 per center theory.

Faith Based Self-Exploration-This module examines Spiritual, Religious and Ecumenical concepts and ideologies. It examines the who, what, why and how of what we say we believe.
Rap Session-This module is based on a casual round table setting in which we bring to the table one hot topic of discussion in which the facilitator by way of inference will allow the group to open up to new ideas and thinking. The beauty of this module is that it is an open forum which will allow our clients to hear, think, feel, communicate and come to their own conclusions in which there is no right or wrong. Rap Session usually stimulates conversation long after it is over.

Florida Sober House Center is dedicated to reversing this trend through intervention with the criminal justice criminal justice system. Through dialogue and interaction with county jail programs, probation officers, judges, district attorneys, treatments centers, law enforcement officials and our own human family members.
