Recovery isn’t just about stopping substance use—it’s about rebuilding a life that feels stable, purposeful, and fulfilling. That’s where sober living plays a powerful role.
At Altura Recovery Homes, we offer supportive sober living in Houston for individuals ready to take the next step in their journey. Whether you’re coming out of treatment, just starting recovery, or navigating a life transition, our homes provide a safe, structured environment built on three core pillars: community, routine, and accountability.
What Is Sober Living?
Sober living is a transitional housing environment for people in early recovery. It bridges the gap between intensive treatment and full independence. At Altura, our sober living model includes:
● Safe, substance-free housing
● Peer support and built-in community
● Daily structure and shared responsibilities
● Weekly therapy and recovery programming
● Recovery coaching and life skills development
Residents commit to staying clean and sober, participating in weekly groups, and working toward personal goals like employment, education, or therapy.
🏡 “It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a place to grow.”
Why Sober Living Works: The 3 Pillars
1. Community
Isolation fuels addiction. Connection fuels recovery. Sober living surrounds residents with peers who understand, care, and are working toward similar goals.
At Altura, community means:
● Shared meals and conversation
● Group accountability and check-ins
● Emotional support from people who “get it”
● Celebrating progress—together
Many of our residents say they’ve never felt so seen, heard, and supported. That sense of belonging is what keeps them going on the hard days.
2. Routine
Recovery thrives in rhythm. One of the biggest challenges after treatment is figuring out what to do next. Without a routine, relapse risk increases.
Sober living provides:
● Daily expectations (wake-up, chores, job search)
● Set times for meals, meetings, and curfew
● Weekly therapy or recovery group attendance
● Support to create and stick to personal routines
Our homes are structured to promote healthy sleep, personal responsibility, and forward momentum.
🗓️ “Routine brings calm to the chaos recovery can bring.”
3. Accountability
It’s easy to make promises. It’s harder to follow through—especially alone. That’s why accountability is key in sober living.
We help residents stay on track by:
● Checking in on goals weekly
● Providing recovery coaching and mentorship
● Creating a culture of honesty and responsibility
● Requiring participation in therapy or support groups
● Enforcing house rules with compassion, not shame
Residents learn how to show up for themselves and others, with structure that supports—not punishes—their growth.
Who Benefits from Sober Living?
Sober living is ideal for individuals who:
● Have completed residential treatment and need next steps
● Have relapsed and want a fresh start
● Don’t have a stable, supportive home environment

FAQs About Sober Living
Do I have to be sober already to move in?

Can I work or go to school while living there?
Absolutely. We encourage residents to develop goals and routines that support independence.
What if I relapse?
We have a clear but compassionate relapse policy. Our goal is to protect the house and offer support, not shame.
Do you offer therapy on-site?
We offer both in-person and virtual therapy, group sessions, and IOP/SOP for those who want it.
