 RECOVERY LIVING TRANSITION STIPEND PROGRAM

FROM ADDICTION TREATMENT

TO INDEPENDENT SOBER LIVING

The Recovery Living Transition Stipend Program is a community-based approach to addiction treatment, providing an independent, supportive, and sober living environment for people in recovery from Substance Use Disorders. The program addresses the housing needs of men, women, pregnant women, and women or men with dependent children, and helps people transition from treatment programs and sober living houses to their own apartments. CADA, as the contract administrator of this state program, issues stipends that will help absorb some of the rent and startup costs (such as utilities) for a maximum of three months. Other education and information are also offered by a licensed social worker or clinician in order to assist people transitioning from residential addiction treatment to sustainable independent sober living.


QUALIFYING APPLICANTS MUST:

  • Have been in a sober living home or program for at least four months
  • Have at least six months of sobriety
  • Have at least five months of gainful employment (or proof of disability)
  • Have been diagnosed with a Substance Use Disorder (MAT individuals accepted)
  • Be up to date on rent/fees owed to Sober Living/Recovery Homes when applicable
  • Have no active and/or recent criminal charges within the last six months (compliant with parole/probation stipulations of drug court)
  • Be in an active recovery program (attending weekly recovery support group meetings such as Smart Recovery, Celebrate Recovery, NA, etc.) and should have a sponsor
  • Be willing to undergo random urine drug screens while receiving services
