Families need information about patient outcomes at each sober living home. When we were evaluating heart surgeons and hospitals for Heather's dad, all of the data was at our finger tips: deaths, survival rates, infections. We were able to make an informed decision. When we needed a sober living home for our son, there was only word of mouth to guide us. How many of your residents recover? What is their average number of days sober? How many relapses, overdoses and deaths have they suffered? Most importantly, do you support residents prescribed medications like methadone and suboxone? Is your staff trained to administer those meds? Do you establish a link to a primary care doctor so long term outcomes can be tracked? Families need this information to make informed decisions. Everyone deserves best practices. These standards must be required by law.
