Sober Living

A Safe, Structured Path Toward Long-Term Recovery in Fresno

At Altura Recovery, we know that finding the right sober living environment can make all the difference in someone�s recovery journey. Located in Fresno, we offer a welcoming and supportive space for individuals who are ready to take that crucial step toward lasting sobriety. Our sober living services are designed not just for recovery, but for truly living a fulfilling life in the community you call home. When you choose us, you are choosing a team that understands the unique challenges people face when coming out of treatment. We have been part of the Fresno community for years, and we understand the local landscape, from the bustling neighborhoods near the Fresno State campus to the serene parks like Woodward Park. We believe in creating an environment that feels like home, where you can connect with others who are on a similar path. One of our residents, Jake, came to us after completing a rigorous treatment program. He was nervous about stepping back into everyday life, especially in a city like Fresno where old habits could easily resurface. But what made a world of difference for him was the supportive community we foster. He found friends in our sober living house, people who understood his struggles and were there to cheer him on during tough days. They would often gather for movie nights, sharing stories and laughter, which helped Jake realize he was not alone. These simple moments of connection can be pivotal in the recovery process. Our sober living services are built on trust, experience, and results. We recognize that recovery is not a one-size-fits-all journey. That is why we offer personalized support tailored to each individual�s needs. Our team has extensive experience in addiction treatment and understands the importance of evidence-based practices. We incorporate therapeutic approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), helping residents develop coping strategies that are crucial for navigating life after treatment. What sets us apart is our commitment to providing a comprehensive support system. We do not just focus on sobriety; we emphasize life skills coaching, helping residents set and achieve personal goals, whether that is securing a job, pursuing education, or rebuilding relationships. We are here to help you build a fulfilling life that is not just about staying sober, but about thriving in your community. Additionally, we are located conveniently near key areas in Fresno, making it easy for residents to access local amenities and participate in community events. Whether you need to get to a job interview in downtown Fresno or want to unwind at the nearby River Park, our location is ideal for fostering independence while still maintaining the support you need. We understand that navigating insurance and financial concerns can be daunting, which is why we are here to assist you with coverage options. We want to make sure that financial barriers do not stand in the way of your recovery. Our team is knowledgeable about various insurance plans and will work with you to find the best solutions available. At Altura Recovery, we are dedicated to helping individuals transform their lives in a supportive, community-focused environment. If you are in Fresno or nearby areas like Clovis or Sanger, and you are seeking a sober living arrangement that prioritizes care and personal growth, we would love to hear from you. We are here to help when you are ready. Contact us today to learn more about our sober living services and how we can support you on your path to recovery.

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.
