From Sobering Center FAQs by Shannon Smith-Bernardin PhD, RN: A sobering center is a typically community-based program that provides short-term (4-12 hour) care and monitoring of individuals during acute intoxication, often as an alternative to the emergency department or jail. The essential goal of a sobering center is to reduce the harms associated with acute intoxication, such as injury or poisoning, and help the individual return to a baseline where they can safely care for themselves. It is not a treatment program, though most sobering centers screen for and provide education around substance use disorders and prioritize assisting people to access appropriate stabilizing services such as detoxification and treatment.​ https://www.horizonservices.org
