One of Clean and Sober Transitional Living’s biggest assets is our awesome team! Every CSTL team member has personally experienced the CSTL Intentional Living program and as a result, has achieved long-term continuous sobriety. Our General Manager Nick, Office Manager Lindsey, and controller Robert have all successfully experienced the CSTL program and culture. With that understanding, they can relate to our client’s experience throughout the program and offer valuable insights to our clients throughout their stay at CSTL.
CSTL is the oldest (35 years) and largest (133 beds) Sober Living program in all of Sacramento and we believe the following is what separates CSTL from all its competitors:
1. Relatability: Staff members who have experienced addiction and recovery firsthand can better understand the challenges, fears, and triumphs that individuals in recovery face. This relatability fosters a deeper level of trust and connection between staff and residents.
2. Role Models: Staff members who have successfully navigated the recovery process can serve as inspiring role models for residents. Seeing others who have overcome similar struggles can instill hope and motivation in individuals who may be early in their recovery journey.
3. Empathy and Understanding: Staff members with personal experience of addiction and recovery are often more empathetic and understanding towards the struggles of residents. They can offer genuine support and encouragement based on their own experiences, which can be incredibly meaningful to those in recovery.
4. Insight and Guidance: Having staff who have been through the recovery process themselves means they can offer practical insights and guidance based on firsthand knowledge. They can provide valuable advice on coping strategies, relapse prevention techniques, and navigating challenges in early recovery.
5. Reduced Stigma: By having staff who openly discuss their own experiences with addiction and recovery, the program helps reduce the stigma surrounding substance abuse and mental health issues. This openness creates a more inclusive and supportive environment where residents feel comfortable seeking help and support.
Clean and Sober Transitional Living is a community of adults who share the intention of achieving long-term freedom from drugs and alcohol. We’ve helped and supported over 7,000 clients and look forward to assisting our next 7,000.
