Usually not. Health insurance may cover your outside treatment, but it generally does not cover sober living rent, because a sober home is housing rather than treatment. Rent here is private pay. More in does insurance cover sober living? ([source](https://livesobernj.com/faq/))

New Jersey requires every Class F home to have two qualified operators. At least one of them lives in the residence, and one is on site from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. whenever residents are present.

([source](https://livesobernj.com/faq/))

**Do all four homes have the same rules?**
Yes. All four homes run on one set of written house rules: no alcohol or drugs, random testing, a curfew, chores and a weekly house meeting. The house manager goes through them with you before you move in, so you know the terms on day one. Read the full house rules. ([source](https://livesobernj.com/faq/))

**What does a normal day look like?**
Mornings start on the house schedule in the shared kitchen. The day goes to work, school or treatment, within house expectations. On evenings your outpatient program meets, the house van drives you there and back; other nights you're home with housemates under curfew, with an operator in the house overnight. ([source](https://livesobernj.com/faq/))

**What happens if someone uses?**
Using alcohol or drugs is a serious violation of the house rules and can lead to discharge from the house. A housing discharge is separate from treatment and does not automatically end your outside care. The house manager goes through the rules with you before you move in. ([source](https://livesobernj.com/faq/))

**Where exactly are the homes?**
In Waldwick, Old Tappan and Closter, which has two homes, all in Bergen County, New Jersey. We don't publish street addresses, out of respect for the people who live there. See Waldwick, Old Tappan, Closter Residence I and Closter Residence II. ([source](https://livesobernj.com/faq/))

No. Oxford Houses are run by their residents. Ours are Class F licensed homes with two qualified operators each, plus our own house management and behavioral health technicians. See Oxford House vs. sober living for how the two differ. ([source](https://livesobernj.com/faq/))

**Can I keep my job?**
Yes. Working is one of the ways residents meet the house requirement, along with school or treatment. If you're in outpatient care too, your program sets its own schedule, and the house van drives residents to evening sessions and back. ([source](https://livesobernj.com/faq/))

**I don’t have a car. How do I get to treatment?**
The house van drives residents to evening treatment and back, and to house outings, so you don’t need a car or a license. ([source](https://livesobernj.com/faq/))

**How far are the homes from evening treatment?**
The Old Tappan and Closter homes are a few minutes from evening treatment. Waldwick, in western Bergen County, is a longer drive, and the house van covers it. ([source](https://livesobernj.com/faq/))

**Can I live in the house while taking medication for addiction (MAT)?**
Yes. The homes welcome people taking MAT medications under outside care. Tell us about every medication you take during intake so the house can go over how its rules apply to you. More in sober living on MAT. ([source](https://livesobernj.com/faq/))

**Who are the homes for?**
People stepping down from intensive outpatient or residential treatment toward living on their own. People who are working, studying or in treatment and want a stable, sober home around it. People with past relapses who want more accountability. People for whom housing, transportation or day-to-day accountability is what stands in the way. ([source](https://livesobernj.com/faq/))

**Is there a house for first responders?**
Yes. One of our four Bergen County recovery homes is set aside for police officers, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics and dispatchers. We don’t publish which; ask on the call. ([source](https://livesobernj.com/faq/))
