Sober Living

On a Roll

Rich Roll went from being a hope-to-die drunk to one of the world’s fittest men—a journey he chronicles in his new book, Finding Ultra.

The Rehab Review

Alta Mira

This luxe, free-spirited San Francisco rehab allows residents some leeway to decide to what extent their sobriety will involve traditional 12-Step programs.

Santé Center for Healing

Community ties are strong at this raucous Texas rehab, where residents bond quickly on the ropes course and over fried chicken and sweet tea. 

The Watershed

The Watershed houses clients strictly according to age, at two locations 10 miles apart. Youngsters or oldies who feel they got the raw end of the deal are consoled by experienced staff and ice cream machines.
