Clean and sober housing marysville wa

A recently opened home in Marysville will be the 300th Oxford House in the state which provides self-run addiction recovery support.

The houses are not the large facilities some may think of when it comes to drug recovery, but instead are small units within neighborhoods that provide people with drug abuse problems a chance to come together and help each other.

“I have a strong passion for Oxford House because it really shattered the thought that I wasn’t worth it, that I couldn’t do it,” said Ricky Mogel, outreach services representative with Oxford House.

Mogel lived in an Oxford House more than a decade ago and now works for the organization.

“I thought I was going to end up in prison or die, but they proved me wrong,” he said.

Officials celebrated the 300th house in the state on Sept. 12 at the new Marysville location.

“Washington state has been a huge supporter of Oxford House from the get go,” said Mogel.

“We’re pretty excited. It was a long process to crack that 300 mark,” said Todd Flanagan, Snohomish County Outreach Coordinator.

He said the organization provides safe and stable housing for individuals who are trying to put their lives back together.

“They must continue their recovery process to live in the home. We’re just doing what we can to help to solve the opioid epidemic and homelessness problem,” said Flanagan.

Oxford Houses are typically funded through federal loans and the residents themselves, who are responsible for providing financial support.

“It helps us feel more like a part of society because we’re self-supporting,” said Amy Spicer, a current resident of the new Marysville house.

In addition, the houses and chapter of houses are self-run and organized by the residents.

“I feel like the difference between Oxford and other places is that it’s more like a family,” said Spicer, who said that feeling was helpful in the recovery process.

“I’m lucky enough that my family is still here, but a lot of people don't have that,” she said.

The residents in the house and other nearby houses support each other, she said.

“I know if we need help we can call other houses in the chapter,” she said.

Mogel also said there is a strong sense of community at the houses. In the house he stayed at they took frequent family photos.

“I look and there are pictures all over the house, and it’s people I’m seeing at 12-step meetings. I’m like ‘that guy came through here? He’s like a bazillion years clean,’” he said.

“You can still find that first photo on the wall from 14 years ago. You can literally watch my recovery progress,” he said.

The program also tries to integrate its Oxford Houses into middle-income neighborhoods.

“We try and put houses in upscale neighborhoods so that people aren’t going back to the same neighborhood that they came from,” said Flanagan.

“It gives them goals and aspirations and shows them what you can accomplish,” he said.

Spicer said she appreciated being able to live in the Marysville neighborhood she does.

“It’s really nice to see such a beautiful house be an Oxford House. I think that there can be a stigma around these houses and it’s nice to live in a neighborhood and community like this,” she said.

The Oxford House model is one of the only evidence-based methods for recovery, said Flanagan.

“We’re study-based. People who live in an Oxford House for 18 months have an 87 percent success rate of never using or drinking again,” he said.

The organization helps many experiencing homelessness begin to turn their life around, said Spicer.

“I think it saved my life. It’s helped me feel like I’m transitioning into everyday life,” she said.

For Mogel the experience was a big change as well.

“It had been a long time since I had slept in a bed I could call my own. I showed up and I didn’t even have a pillow. My roommate asked me if I had a pillow and he said ‘I got you’ and walked over the closet and pulled one out for me,” said Mogel.

“I pretty much thought it was inconceivable to stay clean in my county,” he said. In just a few months Mogel said he’ll be 15 years clean.

Sober Living

To achieve sober living is a difficult process. We say process, because it is best done in a series of steps. Once rehab has taken place, the addict will enter the same world that caused them to be an addict in the first place. The best way to avoid a relapse is to gently acclimate them back to the real world. This may include living in a sober living house where the addict will share a residence with other recovering addicts under limited professional care. This presents the opportunity to slowly adjust to the freedoms of the real world. This will also give the individual the opportunity to move through this transition with the help and support of the residents of the sober house.

Maintaining sober living as an individual is the final step. Once out of sober living, it will be easy to fall into the same habits that led to the problem in the first place. To avoid this, avoid the situations. It may mean suggesting other options for activities with friends. Rather than going to a party or a bar, see a movie, participate in sports. Even find new hobbies. This may also mean that the old friends that are still using or are participating in trigger activities will need to be avoided.

Enjoy Sober Living

Occupy your mind with other stuff avoid the activities that leads to relapse. If you are an alcoholic, do not go to a bar. Finding things to commit to will help force the individual to occupy their time with sober-friendly activities. This could be things like taking nig...

Featured Facilities

Lake Ariel Recovery Center, like all of the Sanctuary Health Group facilities, is a medically proven recovery facility that provides comprehensive treatment for substance use and co-occurring disorders.  Sanctuary Health utilizes Everlasting Recovery, an approach that aligns our client’s recovery journey directly with their life, to extend recovery into a client’s lifestyle.  Our unique approach establishes treatment as a daily practice, refocuses an individual away from addiction towards a healthier existence, and makes sustainable recovery achievable.  Due to this integration, each client begins Everlasting Recovery by assessing their performance in various aspects of their lives via the bio, psycho, and social model.  This initial assessment allows our therapists to craft a personal recovery program, which allows the greatest opportunity for our clients to suppress addiction and adopt recovery as a permanent identity.  When attending Lake Ariel Recovery Center, our clients will establish life skills, implement daily routines for lifestyle recovery, and ignite a purpose for achieving better their lives.  Through accomplishing these tasks, our clients will achieve sustainable recovery.

Choosing the right treatment center can be paramount in one’s chance at recovery. While the treatment facility creates a foundation of tools needed for recovery, it is truly the individual, and not the addiction treatment center that determines the end result. When it comes to yourself or a loved one, you are going to want to make sure to choose a facility that has professional accreditations. Located in the Atlanta, Georgia area, Southeast Addiction Center ensures each client receives the tools needed to live a life without addictive substances.From individual therapy to group therapy, to trauma-based therapy and 12-step support, our clients learn how to find their own strength as well as create a support system around them. The transition from addiction to sobriety can be hard, however, at our drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, we guide each client through the process – step by step.

At Skywood, we are deeply invested in helping you regain your health. Our programming approach to recovery is designed with that in mind, from individual and group therapy to adventure therapy, art therapy and yoga. Each of these activities builds on the others to get to the root causes of addiction, introduce healthy new habits, address any co-occurring mental health issues and provide the mental and physical space you need in order to heal. We also provide access to regular 12-Step meetings and peer support groups. What we do at Skywood is different for several reasons. First, we treat addiction and mental health at the same time in a highly integrated way, looking to restore a person’s physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. Second, we focus on resolving trauma, underlying issues and deep-rooted emotional pain that often causes substance abuse in the first place. Lastly, we emphasize life skills that help each person build a foundation for sustainable, long-term recovery.

Addiction is a disease that no one should have to deal with alone. It is imperative that citizens of a city or county have access to top quality addiction treatment services. People from all walks of life can be susceptible to developing a substance use disorder in response to trauma they have endured, or lifestyle circumstances begetting maladaptive coping mechanisms.When a person is in the grips of addiction, they can become isolated and unable to see their condition for what it is—an illness that can be managed.Whether you are in Nashville or in the greater Nashville area such as Brentwood, Franklin, Hendersonville, etc, at Southeast Addiction, our outpatient addiction treatment programs offer something for individuals of all levels of commitment.
