From Treatment to Transformation: Why The Cedar House is the Next Right Step
For many of our residents, the journey to The Cedar House begins at Caron Treatment Centers—one of the nation’s top-rated recovery programs. Caron lays a powerful foundation, but the transition out of residential treatment can be daunting. That’s where The Cedar House comes in: a supportive, structured, and empowering sober living community designed to carry that momentum forward into real-life recovery.
“I Knew I Couldn’t Navigate Recovery Alone Anymore.”
One of our current residents recently shared that, before coming to Caron, he had reached a point where the cycle of addiction had taken too much from him. He knew he couldn’t do it alone anymore. At Caron, he found not just tools and therapy, but something deeper: genuine support and a “WE” that made healing possible.
Another resident reflected, “My arrival at Caron came after fully surrendering. I was finally willing to do whatever it took to get better. The neurofeedback program was a game changer for me, and the staff—at every level—were present, caring, and engaged. I never once felt like I couldn’t reach out for help.”
Both residents were recommended to The Cedar House by their Caron counselors—and both admitted they had initial reservations. “I wasn’t thrilled about sober living at first,” one wrote. “It provoked a ton of anxiety. I wanted to believe I could just get back to life. But I knew growth meant pushing through that discomfort.”
Life at The Cedar House
Once they arrived, their concerns quickly faded.
“The Cedar House gave me the exact balance I needed: accountability and community,” one resident shared. “I absolutely love the WE I’ve been able to build here. The staff’s guidance, the house culture, the friendships—it’s all been invaluable. It’s helped me take what I learned at Caron and apply it to real life.”
Another echoed the same sentiment: “Everyone here—from the staff (who I honestly see as part of my team) to my housemates—is invested in each other’s recovery. There’s a level of respect and support here that creates a strong sense of belonging.”
What makes The Cedar House unique is that we don’t impose a rigid, one-size-fits-all routine. Residents are encouraged to develop their own rhythms of recovery with structure and support available at every turn. Whether it’s through our group check-ins, house events, staff guidance, or simply the organic connections between residents, growth happens here—authentically and sustainably.

Another stated: “This experience has deepened everything I learned at Caron. If you’re serious about your recovery, this needs to be your next stop. The Cedar House will help you prepare for the next steps in your life in a respectful, supportive, and caring environment.”
