Living Amends recognizes the gap in the healthcare market in terms of insurance coverage for sober living. Most sober living and extended care programs are cash only. To learn whether you’re a candidate for our scholarship program or to speak with one of our experts, please contact Living Amends today or apply for our scholarship.
At Living Amends, we understand lack of finances is the main reason most clients do not follow through with a sober living environment. By this time, insurance has run out, and families are exhausted. Living Amends seeks to be the hand up not a hand out. We seek a true partnership with treatment centers and sober living as well as recipients. Go here to begin the process to secure a scholarship to a sober living community.
Our goal is to establish a relationship with high accountability and supportive sober living homes, allowing us to invest in a client’s success. We ask for weekly progress reports and that each recipient pay it forward by paying back 25% of the total awarded amount within a year.
Living Amends understands the system is not perfect, and more clients will relapse than stay sober after residential treatment. Still, we want to support those who beat the odds and are serious about their sobriety. The monthly maximum Living Amends can award any one house is $750.00. We do not give more than one scholarship to each vetted house. At the end of every month we review application and if accepted will email you our terms of the scholarships. The Terms on the email must be agreed to by replying “I agree to terms” before the funds are released directly to the sober living.
During the first month, the applicant must fill out our form online.
During the second month, the applicant must reapply with second month application about how the grant has impacted their sobriety.
During the third month, the applicant must submit a third month application describing where they are socially and emotionally in comparison to where they were when they first received the scholarship. This essay will mark the progress of the applicant.
Once we award the scholarship, the recipient must agree to all terms sent by email. Once all terms are agreed too, we will transfer the funds directly to the sober living facility. If the applicant receives a scholarship, we ask their sober living community to provide a weekly report on their progress.
This report will help Living Amends continue to follow the beneficiary. At this time, we are not able to give scholarships to sober living communities we are not familiar with. We work with a range of facilities, including:

The goal is for each recipient to have a stake in their sobriety. Therefore we never give 100% scholarship and steadily decrease the amount over time.
During the first month, we pay 75% of the cost of sober living. We’ll pay 50% of the cost during the second month, and during their third month, we pay 25%. In addition, we will be asking our recipients to pay it forward by returning 25% of the scholarship to Living Amends within 12 months.
We want to ensure that each person we work with is able to stay sober as long as possible. To learn whether you’re an ideal candidate for our scholarship, please apply using our application form or contact our team for further application questions. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
