Sober Living in South Houston : Aspire Recovery Homes & Altura Recovery

Sober Living

A Safe, Structured Path Toward Long-Term Recovery in South Houston

When it comes to finding sober living services in South Houston, you want to look for a place that feels like home. At Altura Recovery, we understand that recovery is not just about quitting substances; it is about rebuilding your life in a supportive and nurturing environment. We are located right in the heart of South Houston, close to neighborhoods like Bellaire and West University, where our community is vibrant and full of life. This area is more than just a place on the map; it is a hub where individuals can find the support they need while being surrounded by people who understand the journey. Our sober living services are designed to make the transition from treatment to daily life as smooth as possible. We know how overwhelming it can feel to step back into the world after detox or inpatient care. That is why we focus on creating personalized plans that cater to your specific needs. Each person who walks through our doors is treated with the care and respect they deserve. You are not just another number to us; you are part of our community. Our team is dedicated to helping you develop the life skills you need to maintain sobriety while balancing work, family, and social obligations. One of the things that really sets us apart is our flexible scheduling. Whether you are working or have family commitments, we offer a range of options, including day, evening, and even virtual sessions. This means you can engage in our programs without feeling like your recovery is pulling you away from your everyday responsibilities. We understand that life does not stop when you decide to seek help. That is why our outpatient programs, including Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), and Structured Outpatient Programs (SOP), are designed to fit seamlessly into your life. We also recognize that many people face co-occurring mental health issues alongside addiction. Our integrated dual diagnosis support addresses these challenges head-on, offering psychiatric care and medication management to help you stabilize your condition. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns, we take a holistic approach to your recovery, ensuring that you receive the comprehensive care you need. Community plays a vital role in recovery, and we pride ourselves on fostering an environment where everyone feels welcome and understood. Living in South Houston, we have witnessed the growth of many success stories. For example, one of our recent clients, who previously struggled with substance use, found a supportive group of friends in our sober living community. Now, they regularly volunteer at a local shelter in the Galleria area, giving back to those in need and continuing their recovery journey. Stories like this remind us that recovery is not just about individual progress; it is about building connections and uplifting each other. We know that trust is crucial when choosing a sober living facility. At Altura Recovery, we have years of experience and a proven track record of helping individuals achieve lasting recovery. Our compassionate staff is here to guide you every step of the way. We believe in empowerment and want you to feel confident in your ability to make positive changes in your life. Our approach is rooted in evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), ensuring that you receive the most effective treatment available. If you are looking for a supportive and trustworthy place to begin or continue your recovery journey, we invite you to reach out to us. We are here to help when you are ready. Whether you are from Greenway Plaza, Bellaire, or any of the surrounding areas, our doors are always open to guide you toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. Contact us today to learn more about how we can support you on this important journey. You deserve a brighter future, and we are here to help you every step of the way.

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.
