The Third Tradition Sober Living

Third tradition sober living home is amazing. I lived there for 90 days and the experience was great. I can't thank Mark Smith enough for how much he has helped me. He really cares and invests his time in everybody that lives there. The houses are clean, there is structure, and accountability. There are house meetings and 12 step meetings on site which is convenient. I was able to keep my job and stay there while working on my recovery. All the people there are great, the staff and the residents alike. I had a roommate there who was really cool. I couldn't go away to regular rehab because I didn't want to lose my job but my marriage was on the rocks. I was able to live at the sober living and go to an outpatient program while I worked on my marriage. Now I am back home with my wife and kids and living a sober life. The houses are clean and it is very affordable. I will be forever grateful for Mark Smith and third tradition sober living. Thanks Mark!

The Third Tradition sober living community in conjunction with the Program Director Marc Smith have made a change in the lives of my husband and I that I will be eternally grateful for. My husband went to live there when things got out of hand with his addiction and he couldn't get it under control with out-patient treatment alone. It wasn't his choice at first, he wanted to convince me that he could quit at home and that me being a certified drug and alcohol counselor would matter. My experience in the field didn't matter though because my husband needed to be in a structured controlled environment with people who were invested in him differently than a person married to him. Marc and the rest of the community loved on and directed my husband until he embraced recovery. Month after month my husband chose on his own to remain in sober living even after exceeding the initial conditions that had to be met for him to come home. 5 months later he's still there and we are healthier and happier than we've been in 18 years. Each month I watch him grow more into the man I always knew that he could be. I see his self esteem building, patience I never knew he possessed, and the good in him coming out more and more. He's developed meaningful relationships there with the other men in recovery who I imagine will be life long. His roommate is a heck of a guy who we've enjoyed camping and fishing with. If you can't seem to get it together on your own or have a loved one that's putting you at wits end, I highly recommend that you give this place a shot. It sure has done the trick for us.

Overall the facility is nice far as appliances and the rooms, personally I don't feel like its truly about the recovery of the individuals more about the money. My love one was residing there when he took ill resulting in him being admitted into the Hospital. He was then told that he could not return until his personal issues were taken care of and that his stuff would be packed and placed in safe place until it was picked up. Well that was not true about 80% of his personal belongings was taken and when I asked the manager about it he continued to tell me he was not responsible for his things . We went back and forth resulting in him saying I will just say his things was never here and he hung up. As a business man he is very unprofessional and can not handle being asked reasonable questions. I know for a fact he allowed several people to rummage through his belongings and take what they wanted and threw what they didn't away ... He should be ashamed of himself and God does not like ugly and I will not let this go without a fight..
