Sober Living Residences In Vero Beach
THE DUDE RANCH
Determined to be the best sober living community for men in south Florida, we base our philosophies on the principles and traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous. We are proud to be certified by the Florida Association of Recovery Residences.
We find that by living the principles of the program of Alcoholics Anonymous, our residents have become accountable and responsible members of our sober living community and society as a whole.
We have come to believe that the byproduct of working with a sponsor, working the 12 steps, going to meetings, and learning recovery behaviors makes the rules we enforce almost inconsequential. Our goal is to provide a sober living environment where the life experiences of our residents can be an example to the other members of our community. They are suffering from the disease of addiction. We learn and grow from each other’s recovery.
Vero Beach Sober Living Residences, LLC was founded by a man who has been sober since 1992 and lived in a similar transitional house early in his recovery. He continues his involvement with the program as outlined in the book of Alcoholics Anonymous. He learned that to keep the gift of sobriety; he had to help others.
