About 1 in 6 Americans have experienced recovery. People leaving treatment need sober living homes that are stable, structured, and monitored, ideally in safe neighborhoods where police can arrive within five minutes.
About 15% (phrased as "1 in 6, 1 in 7").
About five minutes.
So I know a lot of people out there. Think about how many people are in recovery in the United states. It's about 15%. Literally like 1 in 6, 1 in 7 people. So we all know somebody who's been touched by this. And you might even have a child, like a son or daughter who's gone through treatment and has lived in sober living. If that was your situation, you probably want them to be in a very well run, stable, structured, monitored sober living home and not something where it's just pure lead or no one's following the rules. It's 15 people in a house. That wouldn't be ideal. You want them to be in a nice, safe, quiet place. That also means you don't want them to be in the worst neighborhoods ever. The best of the living homes tend to be in nicer, quiet areas with, you know, very safe. If you call the police, they show up within five minutes, that kind of thing. And it's not because you're going to be calling the police, but it's because you want them to be in a nice, safe, quiet space to not have to stress and worry about all that stuff.
