Sober Living in Bellaire

Sober living for Bellaire residents

If you live in Bellaire or have family here, you don't have to choose between staying close to home and getting structured support. Our sober living partners operate sober living houses in and around the Bellaire area, and Altura Recovery's clinical site in Bellaire is from Altura's clinical site at 5555 West Loop South. Many clients drive themselves; transportation is coordinated when needed.

Bellaire sits in Harris County, and the clients we work with often come from Southdale, Braeburn, and the Post Oak corridor, near Evelyn's Park and Bellaire Town Square. Bellaire is an independent “City of Homes” fully surrounded by Houston and minutes from the Texas Medical Center, so Altura is effectively your neighborhood clinic.

Getting to clinical care from Bellaire

Bellaire is one of the shortest commutes to Altura of any part of Houston, so in-person PHP five days a week is genuinely realistic without upending your day.

What structured sober living looks like in Bellaire

• House manager on site or on call
• Random drug and alcohol screens
• Curfew, chore, and house meeting expectations
• Required attendance at recovery meetings or clinical sessions at Altura
• Phased program with earned privileges
• Gender-separated houses
• Typical stay 90 days to 12 months

Structured accountability through sober living

For clients who need housing alongside clinical care, Altura Recovery coordinates with established sober living programs across the Houston metro. We don't operate housing ourselves — we maintain working relationships with separately operated houses so clients have a stable place to live while they attend PHP or IOP.

For families comparing gender-specific sober living options, we often point them to Aspire Recovery Homes' Houston resources for sober living for women in Houston and sober living for men in Houston, while also helping them evaluate other separately operated homes when those are a better fit.

What "structured accountability" means in a sober house

• House manager on site or on call, peer-led check-ins, curfews
• Random drug and alcohol screens
• Required attendance at clinical sessions
• Weekly recovery meetings and step work
• Job, school, or volunteer expectations after stabilization

How it works with Altura Recovery clinical care

• Admissions team helps you find a sober house that fits
• Transportation coordinated between house and Altura when needed
• Clinical team communicates with house staff to support your plan
• Step-down planning starts on day one
• Continued sober living after PHP and IOP if needed

Sober living programs are operated separately from Altura Recovery. Housing fees are billed independently and are not part of clinical billing.

Clinical care alongside sober living

Sober living works best when it's paired with clinical structure. Most Bellaire residents in sober living also enroll in one of these levels at Altura:

• PHP — Partial Hospitalization (20–30 hours/week, five days)
• IOP — Intensive Outpatient (9–12 hours/week, three days)
• Structured Outpatient (SOP) for clients with transportation constraints

Drug-specific treatment available

Whatever brought you in, we treat it: alcohol, opioids and fentanyl, cocaine, meth, marijuana, benzodiazepines, and prescription drugs.
