When it comes to sober living in Sheldon, we understand that finding the right support can feel overwhelming. You are not just looking for a place to stay; you are searching for a community that truly gets it, a space that feels safe and welcoming as you work towards a brighter future. At Altura Recovery, we offer sober living services that emphasize trust, experience, and genuine care. We know that every individual�s journey is unique, and our approach is tailored to meet those specific needs. Living in Sheldon, you might have noticed how tight-knit this community is. It is not just about the beautiful parks or the local shops; it is about the people who make it home. We have seen firsthand how our sober living programs have positively impacted individuals right here in our neighborhood. For example, one of our residents, Sarah, came to us feeling lost after completing her inpatient treatment. She was unsure about her next steps and worried about returning to an environment that could trigger old habits. With our support and the camaraderie of fellow residents, Sarah found her footing. She began attending local community events at the nearby parks and even reconnected with old friends who were also on their recovery journey. It is stories like hers that remind us of the power of community and connection in recovery. Our sober living services focus on creating a structured yet supportive environment. We know that transitioning back into daily life can be challenging, especially in a bustling area like Sheldon. That is why we provide a safe, drug-free home where you can continue your healing journey. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to helping you develop essential life skills, find employment, and build a supportive network. We offer flexible scheduling for our programs, including outpatient therapy, so you can balance your recovery with other responsibilities in life. You might be wondering what sets us apart from other options in the area. It is simple: we genuinely care about your progress. Our staff is trained in evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which have been shown to be effective in helping individuals overcome addiction. We also provide dual diagnosis support for those who may be dealing with underlying mental health issues, ensuring that all aspects of your well-being are addressed. Another important aspect of our sober living services is family support. We understand how addiction impacts not just the individual but also their loved ones. That is why we offer family counseling sessions to help rebuild those important relationships. Families in Sheldon often tell us how much they appreciate being part of the recovery process. It is heartwarming to see families reconnect and support each other through this journey. We believe that strong family bonds can be a powerful motivator for recovery. If you are in the surrounding areas like Bellaire or West University, you will find that our location is convenient and accessible. We are close to public transportation, making it easy for you to attend local meetings or therapy sessions. Plus, you can take advantage of the beautiful parks in the area for some fresh air and reflection.

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.
