📍 Islip, New York 11751
A NYS not-for-profit operating five sober houses across central and eastern Suffolk County (Long Island) for individuals new to recovery, with a therapeutic farm setting.
SoulShine America is a sober living home in Islip, New York that provides co-ed residents (men and women) with a safe, substance-free place to live during early recovery. Like other quality recovery residences, a sober living home is built around three things that research consistently ties to lasting recovery: stable, drug- and alcohol-free housing, peer support from others who understand what early sobriety feels like, and structure and accountability that help rebuild healthy daily routines. Residents here have access to Therapeutic farm with horses, goats, and chickens, Structured house rules, Daily 12-step meeting requirement, and No security deposit required.
Most structured sober living homes ask residents to stay substance-free, attend recovery meetings, submit to random drug and alcohol testing, follow a curfew, complete household chores, and either work, attend school, or actively look for a job. These expectations aren't there to be punitive — they're the scaffolding that keeps a house safe and gives residents the consistency that protects early sobriety. When you contact SoulShine America, ask them to walk you through their specific house rules, curfew, guest policy, and how long a typical stay lasts so you know exactly what you're agreeing to.
SoulShine America doesn't publish a fixed price online, which is common for sober living homes — rent varies by room type (private vs. shared) and the services a home includes. Call the home's intake line directly for a current quote, and ask whether scholarships or sliding-scale rates are available.
When comparing homes in Islip, ask whether the residence is certified by a NARR-affiliated state organization (the National Alliance for Recovery Residences). Certification indicates a home has agreed to recognized operating and ethical standards.
If you take medication for opioid or alcohol use disorder (MAT) — Suboxone, methadone, or Vivitrol — confirm the home's MAT policy before committing. It isn't noted here, and policies vary from home to home; a supportive home will welcome the question.
