Sober livingSober living and supported housing, shared abstinent housing with house rulesNoUsually rent paid by the resident

Is it safe to stop drinking without medical help?

Not always. Stopping suddenly after heavy daily drinking can cause withdrawal that is genuinely dangerous, which is why medically supervised detox exists as its own service. If you drink heavily every day, speak to a doctor or a withdrawal service first. This is the published position of Alcoholinfo.nl, not advice from this directory.

What is supported housing and who is it for?

Sober living and supported housing are shared homes where everyone is staying sober, usually with house rules and required meeting attendance. It is housing, not treatment. Residents commonly move in after residential treatment and attend local AA meetings as part of the house agreement.

Where can I get free and confidential help now?

If you would rather speak to somebody today than read further, these are free, confidential, and not run by this site:

Service details verified against Alcoholinfo.nl on . The AA Directory lists meetings. It does not run, recommend, rank, or take payment from any treatment provider, supported housing operator, or detox service, and has no affiliation with the groups it lists.
