 ____ ABOUT OAK HILL
Oak
Hill Sober Living for Men is a facility that provides a safe and structured
environment for the newly recovering alcoholic and addict. At Oak Hill, the
residents are provided a drug and alcohol free living environment that
promotes recovery. In this environment residents find support among
themselves in developing a new outlook on life: learning how to deal with
life as a sober and responsible member of society. Each week the members have
peer meetings and support sessions to help in understanding their part in
dealing with their recovery. House residents attend daily 12-step meetings,
build a support group and learn to apply the 12-step recovery program to
effectively deal with their chemical dependency problems.
