A national forum for
sobering care

"I have experienced the Sobering Center myself first hand and they made me feel like I was actually a human being. I mean I had forgotten what compassion felt like until I went there to be honest. That is what made me want to stay sober and help others."

- Client, Sobering Center in Austin, TX

"We've been able to learn so much about the work being done across the country, and have meaningful conversations with other providers to generate solutions to challenges we each faced. We’ve also been able to leverage our membership in a way that gives us opportunities for insightful conversations about the various sobering program models, which are unique to the communities they serve."

- Jaime Campos, MBA-HA, SUDCC
Chief Executive Officer, Horizon Treatment Services
NSC Founding Member

"...findings suggest police agencies hold overwhelmingly positive views on the utility of sobering centers, primarily through saving officer time/resources and providing a better alternative for intoxicated individuals than jail."
