Sober Living in Friendswood : Aspire Recovery Homes & Altura Recovery

Sober Living

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

If you are looking for sober living services in Friendswood, you are not alone. Many people in our community face challenges with addiction and mental health, and finding the right support can feel overwhelming. At Altura Recovery, we understand what you are going through. Our sober living program is designed to create a safe and supportive environment where you can focus on your recovery while still being close to the comforts of home. What makes our program stand out is the personalized care we provide. We know that everyone’s journey is different, so we tailor our approach to meet your specific needs. Whether you are just coming out of detox or have been in recovery for a while, our experienced team is here to guide you every step of the way. We offer a range of outpatient services, including Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), and Standard Outpatient Programs (SOP). Each of these options allows you to engage in evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which have proven effective in treating addiction and co-occurring mental health issues. Living in Friendswood, you may appreciate the tight-knit community atmosphere. It is a place where neighbors look out for one another, and we strive to embody that spirit in our program. We have seen firsthand how local connections can make all the difference. For instance, one of our recent clients, who lived just down the street, found not only recovery support but also friendship in our sober living environment. They were able to rebuild relationships with family and friends, thanks to the encouragement and guidance from our team. It is stories like these that remind us why we do what we do. Another aspect that sets us apart is the flexibility of our scheduling. We know life does not pause for recovery, and many of our clients have jobs, school commitments, or family responsibilities. That is why we offer day, evening, and even virtual sessions. This flexibility enables you to receive the care you need while still managing your daily life. Whether you are working near the Galleria or attending classes at a local college, our program can fit into your schedule. We also provide comprehensive psychiatric support, which is essential for those dealing with dual diagnosis. This means if you are struggling with both addiction and a mental health condition, you do not have to face it alone. Our team includes qualified professionals who can help you navigate these challenges and find the right medication and therapy options for you. Having that support can lead to better outcomes and a more stable recovery journey. Family involvement is another critical component of our sober living services. We recognize that addiction affects not only the individual but also their loved ones. That is why we include family services in our program. We aim to foster healthy communication and understanding among family members, helping to mend relationships that may have been strained due to addiction. We believe that a strong support system is vital for long-term success, and we work hard to build that support for you and your family. Trust is fundamental when it comes to choosing a recovery program, and we pride ourselves on being a trustworthy resource in Friendswood. Our team has years of experience in the field and is dedicated to helping you achieve your recovery goals. We celebrate every milestone, big or small, because we know that every step forward is significant. If you are in Friendswood and looking for a sober living solution that truly understands your needs, Altura Recovery is here for you. We invite you to reach out and learn more about how our program can help you or a loved one find a sustainable path to recovery. You are not alone on this journey; we are here to help when you are ready. Contact us today to take the first step toward a healthier, happier life.

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.
