About The Third Tradition-Sober Living

The Third Tradition is a residential community-based sober living home for adult men and women. They’re a drug-free facility in Bakersfield, California, that focuses on your continued sobriety through regular and random drug testing to help residents stay accountable and on track with recovery. Many participants come here with behavioral health challenges alongside substance use histories.

Growth Through Structure and Support

This is a transitional living program that provides 24-hour residential care, as well as structure, support and a real sense of community as you rebuild your life in recovery. Residents learn valuable life skills, develop character and have access to health services and community support programs.

Helping You Move Forward

Residents are expected to attend 12 Step meetings and perform assigned daily chores to build responsibility and practice life skills. This helps you develop independence while still having support. I think it’s helpful that they’ll help you find permanent housing when you’re ready to move on.

How Clients Describe Third Tradition

Most people say their time here gave them the structure, support and real community they couldn’t find anywhere else. One client said, “I’ve been in 12 programs before, but nothing beats Third Tradition.” While a few reviews note that the program didn’t work for them, the overwhelming message is that this community helped them stay sober, reconnect with family and feel like themselves again.

This sober living is by far the best in Bakersfield! This program saved my life. The program director is always available during the weekdays, but will take the time out of his weekend to show up if he’s needed. There’s staff on site available 24/7 to assist with residents needs and for accountability. This program doesn’t just focus on substance, but bettering the whole person. This program taught me how to be a good friend, wife, mother, daughter, and so much more. It’s thanks to this program, it’s staff, it’s residence, and the program director that I have a little over 2 years clean and my family back! Plus, all the family I have made through this program and in recovery! 10/10 would recommend this program.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Sober living homes in California offers an intermediate sober environment that has less structure than inpatient rehab but more than typical home environments. This makes it a good option for those who have concerns about transitioning back to the "real world" after treatment. Residents can typically live at the halfway house as long as they want, if they are willing to follow house rules. These may include a curfew, chores, and maintaining a job.

Treatments

Alcoholism, or alcohol use disorder (AUD), is defined by alcohol dependence. This is a state the body reaches when it experiences withdrawal symptoms in the absence of alcohol. A person who has AUD craves alcohol and continues to drink despite adverse consequences. Because withdrawing from alcohol can pose health risks, individuals with AUD should seek professional alcohol rehab in California to overcome their alcohol addiction. This process typically involves medical detox, rehabilitation, and maintenance.

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

Clinical Services

While in rehab treatment, you may work on developing various life skills to help you in long term recovery. These may include resilience, interpersonal skills, and self awareness. The focus will be on developing healthy habits for self care and relationships so you have the skills you need to manage day to day life.
