The Estate News & Blog

The first thing I should mention is that this is not my first visit to Soberman's Estate. I spent 45 days here in the Spring of 2021. When I left I was filled with optimism and felt that for the first time in my life I was prepared to deal with my addiction and lead a normal life. Why I am back here is a story within itself, and actually does not seem to be relevant to this review. Suffice it to say, that this facility is the best place that I can be at this day in my life. When I left Soberman's Estate in 2021 I wrote a very complimentary review of the facility, staff, and treatment program.

What is it that makes us different?

While speaking with my wife via cellphone, I shared with her, “It’s the strangest thing—as I was speaking with you a moment ago, I was petting our horse, Sugar Pine, and he began stomping his front leg. I looked and Sugar had plenty of food and clean water. He looked healthy but continued to stomp his front left leg as if trying to tell me something. Now I’m petting our other horse, Charlie, and Charlie is also stomping his front left leg, even though he has plenty of food and water.”

A message from our CEO Mitch Prager:

In the heart of a tranquil desert landscape lies a sanctuary where men gather strength, rediscover their purpose, and embark on a transformative journey towards sobriety. Soberman's Estate is more than a treatment center; it shines a light of hope for individuals seeking to overcome Substance Use Disorder and lead a fulfilling life.

A few weeks ago, we held an incredible open house for our professional community. A day that was filled with learning about what makes Soberman’s Estate such an incredible place for professional men to heal. We were able to share our clinical and therapeutic expertise as well as our different holistic modalities with everyone who attended, and hand out some incredible prizes as well! I was honored once again, to meet with one of those professional individuals that attended, when he came to pick up the prize he had won.

Just a few weeks ago, we marked a significant milestone at Soberman’s Estate, our 5-year anniversary! This special day was not just a celebration of our history, but also a showcase of the comprehensive and unique modalities we offer. We opened our doors to many local professionals, giving them a firsthand experience of the tranquil and healing environment of the Estate.

This year marks a significant milestone for Soberman's Estate Men's Residential Treatment Center – our 5-year anniversary. In these five years, we've witnessed incredible transformations, shared countless moments of triumph, and built a community grounded in hope and healing. As we reflect on our journey, we want to celebrate the successes, acknowledge the challenges overcome, and look forward to a future filled with even more opportunities to help men in their recovery and personal growth.

Maybe your husband or loved one is exhibiting questionable behavior related to alcohol, and it doesn't feel right. Know that you are not alone. 12.7% of American adults have an alcohol use disorder, colloquially known as alcoholism. We’re going to talk about signs you’re in a relationship with an addict, as well as strategies to cope and heal. 

As the new year unfolds, many of us set resolutions to improve our health and well-being. Sober January, the practice of abstaining from alcohol for the first month of the year, has become increasingly popular as a way to reset and reflect on our relationship with alcohol. For those in recovery or contemplating a path towards sobriety, staying sober during the month of January can be a particularly meaningful endeavor.
