About this Sober House
Caballero House is a men's sober living home in Mesa, Arizona, in Maricopa County. Freedom Sober Living operates it, and the Arizona Recovery Housing Association certifies it at Level 2.
An East Valley Sober House in Mesa
Mesa is the third largest city in Arizona and the anchor of the East Valley, and this is the operator's house on that side of the metro area. The company places it near Lindsay Road and University Drive. Arizona does not publish recovery residence addresses, so the specific street stays with the operator and applications go through the company. The corridor itself is easy to describe: University Drive is one of the long east-west arterials that carries Valley Metro bus service across Mesa, and it connects to the light rail line that runs down Main Street toward Tempe and central Phoenix.
Why Mesa Matters for Men in Recovery Housing
Most of the recovery housing in this metro area sits in Phoenix and the West Valley. A certified men's residence in Mesa is a different proposition, because it lets someone rebuild in the part of the county where his job, his family or his court obligations already are. Mesa Community College, Banner's East Valley hospitals and the Mesa municipal court are all inside the city, and the light rail makes downtown Phoenix reachable without owning a car.
Level 2 Certification and This Recovery Residence
Certification through Arizona's NARR affiliate binds a residence to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a written policy covering relapse and discharge, and an external complaint process. Level 2 describes the model: peer management with a house manager on site, structure in the daily routine, and treatment provided by outside clinicians. Certification in Arizona is voluntary, which is what makes carrying it a signal.
Cost and What Is Included in This Sober Living Home
The published rate across the operator's men's houses is $225 per week for a shared room, with a $35 discount for self-paying residents. Laundry, WiFi and streaming are covered. A shared room is the trade that keeps the weekly number where it is, and it is also the arrangement that keeps a new resident accountable to somebody during the hours nobody is supervising.
Applying to This Maricopa County Sober House
Applications go to Freedom Sober Living. The questions worth asking are the ones certification obliges an answer to: what the weekly fee covers, how bedrooms are assigned, what happens after a relapse, whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted, and how a complaint gets past the house manager. Arizona also licenses sober living homes at state level through the Arizona Department of Health Services, a separate credential from certification, and an applicant is entitled to ask about both.
More on The Sober House
Sober living homes are group residences for people who are recovering from addiction. In most instances, people who live in sober homes have to follow certain house rules and contribute to the home by doing chores. Most importantly, residents must stay sober throughout their stay in the home.
