The Sober Living Program
The Sober Living Program at The Marshes
The Marshes takes pride in providing a safe and supportive environment for its residents. Following the guidelines set by the South Carolina Alliance of Recovery Residences (SCARR), the program fosters a positive and nurturing atmosphere. To maintain accountability and promote a sober, secure community, policies such as random drug and alcohol testing are implemented.
Each situation is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, ensuring that the well-being of both the individual and the community remains the top priority. This careful approach demonstrates The Marshes’ commitment to assisting residents in navigating the challenges of recovery.
Structured Daily Routines
A structured daily routine is a cornerstone of the sober living program at The Marshes. Residents begin their day early, rising by 7:30 a.m., and participate in activities that promote personal growth and accountability. During the week, residents attend treatment programming at Southern Sky Recovery and are encouraged to participate in group recovery meetings. Communal dinners provide an opportunity to bond with housemates and strengthen the sense of community.
This structured approach is designed to help residents establish healthy habits that replace the destructive patterns of addiction. By fostering discipline and routine, The Marshes empowers individuals to take control of their lives and build a solid foundation.
Building Community and Connection
Community is at the heart of the sober living experience at The Marshes. Residents share semi-private rooms, creating opportunities to connect with housemates and build meaningful relationships. Evening meals are prepared and enjoyed together, fostering a sense of camaraderie and mutual support.
Weekends are dedicated to group activities that promote fellowship and enjoyment. Outings to local attractions such as Hunting Island beaches, Pinckney Island trails, and recreational venues like bowling alleys or movie theaters provide residents with opportunities to relax, bond, and experience the joys of sober living.
Access to Comprehensive Treatment
The Marshes’ partnership with Southern Sky Recovery guarantees that residents have access to a wide range of treatment options. Programs are available, including Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), providing a continuum of care customized to meet each individual’s needs.
Transportation is offered for treatment sessions, recovery meetings, and social outings, eliminating logistical barriers and allowing residents to concentrate on their recovery goals. The presence of dedicated staff, such as a house manager and director, ensures that residents receive the guidance and support they need throughout their stay.
Emphasis on Life Skills and Independence
Preparing residents for independent living is a key focus of The Marshes’ sober living program. During their time in the program, residents work closely with Southern Sky staff to develop a personalized transition plan. This includes an additional week dedicated to building a stable plan for life beyond the program.
Residents also gain valuable life skills during their stay, such as budgeting for groceries, cooking meals, and managing responsibilities. These practical experiences help individuals build confidence and self-reliance, equipping them with the tools needed to thrive independently.

Recreational Opportunities for Holistic Recovery
Recreation plays a vital role in the recovery journey, and The Marshes offers a variety of opportunities for residents to stay active and engaged. On-site amenities such as a swimming pool and fitness equipment encourage physical well-being, while group outings to nature reserves, beaches, and other local attractions provide a refreshing change of scenery.
These activities allow residents to rediscover hobbies, explore new interests, and learn how to enjoy life in sobriety. By integrating recreation into the program, The Marshes helps residents build a well-rounded and fulfilling sober lifestyle.
Addressing Unique Challenges in Recovery
The Marshes recognizes that each resident’s journey is unique and tailors its approach to meet individual needs. For many, addiction recovery involves addressing deep-seated challenges such as rebuilding family relationships, developing career goals, and managing stress. Through personalized care and targeted support, The Marshes empowers residents to confront these challenges and move forward with confidence.
Additionally, the program emphasizes emotional expression and vulnerability, creating a safe space for residents to explore their feelings without fear of judgment. This openness fosters personal growth and strengthens the bonds between residents, cultivating a culture of trust and mutual respect.
