About MSL
Why is MIDSOUTH Sober Living needed?
Living in an MSL center provides individuals with the opportunity to learn to live outside of the structure of a rehabilitation program while maintaining their Alcohol and drug free lifestyle.
Men's Facility
MSL provides an environment in which people who are living in the same facility also share a common goal: to turn their life around. This community support significantly reduces the risk of relapse and enables its residents to once again become contributing members to their families and of society. Individuals who benefit from this type of housing usually have completed a residential treatment program, are starting a new job, may need public transportation, but most importantly
need a safe and drug-free place to live.
Women's Facility
Each facility has an onsite manager to provide assistance and guidance. Policies and rules have been created to facilitate a safe environment. We encourage and allow the freedom to work, cook meals, own a car and attend to other essential needs. Additionally, First Step Recovery Centers provides aftercare treatment and a continuum of care through their trained and licensed staff. A community nutritionist offers tips and meal suggestions to encourage eating healthier, which is good for body, mind and spirit. Other recovering individuals in the community volunteer and share their experiences, strengths and hope which helps the residents identify with them and look forward to their own healthy future.
