Sober Living in Houston: Aspire Recovery Homes & Altura Recovery
A Safe, Structured Path Toward Long-Term Recovery
Completing a treatment program is a major step forward—but it’s not the end of the journey. Many people in early recovery struggle to maintain their progress when returning to stressful or unsupportive environments. That’s why Altura Recovery has partnered with Aspire Recovery Homes to provide safe, structured, and community-focused sober living in Houston.
Our goal is simple: to help individuals transition from treatment to independence while reinforcing healthy habits, accountability, and support. Aspire’s transitional recovery housing bridges the gap between clinical care and fully independent living—empowering residents to build strong foundations for lasting sobriety.

Who Needs Sober Living?
Sober living isn’t just for people who have nowhere else to go. It’s for people who:
- Are early in recovery and know they still need accountability and structure
- Have completed PHP, IOP, or SOP and are stepping down gradually
- Want to avoid returning to environments where substance use or toxic dynamics were present
- Are rebuilding their lives after residential treatment, incarceration, or long-term instability
- Are working, attending school, or reconnecting with family—and want support while doing so
Whether you’re a young adult navigating new independence or an adult starting over after decades of addiction, structured sober housing provides the consistency and support needed to stay on track.
