About this Sober House
Axiom Care ViVRE Sober Living is a coed sober living home in Phoenix, Arizona, in Maricopa County, operated through the ViVRE program run by Axiom Care, a Phoenix behavioral health provider founded in 2012. Residents live drug and alcohol free while connected to Axiom Care's wider network of outpatient and reentry services.
A Coed Sober House Backed by a Behavioral Health Provider
This Phoenix sober house serves men and women, and it sits inside a larger organization rather than standing alone. Axiom Care has run behavioral health and reentry programs in the Phoenix area since 2012, and ViVRE is its dedicated sober living arm, currently operating several houses across the metro area. That scale means a resident who needs a different house, or a different level of care, is dealing with one organization rather than starting over with a stranger.
House Rules Built Around Reentry
Axiom Care markets ViVRE specifically to people leaving incarceration, and the program accepts referrals from the Department of Corrections and Adult Probation up to six months before release. Residents are expected to attend AA or NA meetings, stay current on rent, keep a curfew, submit to random drug testing and take part in house meetings and chores. The structure runs in three phases, moving a resident from close supervision toward independent living rather than functioning as an open-ended placement.
Connected to Axiom Care's Wider Services
Because ViVRE sits under Axiom Care, residents have a direct line to the organization's other programs, including outpatient treatment and reentry support, without having to coordinate between separate agencies. For someone coming out of detox or residential treatment with Axiom Care itself, moving into a ViVRE house keeps the same provider relationship intact through the housing stage.
Recovery Housing in Phoenix and Maricopa County
Phoenix is the seat of Maricopa County and the hub for the reentry and outpatient services this program depends on, including the county court system and the Department of Corrections offices that refer many residents. A ViVRE house in Phoenix keeps a resident close to those obligations without adding a commute across the Valley.
Reaching Axiom Care's ViVRE Program
Applications for a ViVRE house go through Axiom Care in Phoenix, and referrals from the Department of Corrections or Adult Probation are common but not required. The questions worth asking cover which phase a resident would enter at, how the three-phase structure moves someone toward independent housing, and what outpatient services are available through Axiom Care itself.
More on The Sober House
The staff at Axiom Care recognize the lack of a stable, drug, and alcohol-free living environment will be a serious obstacle to continued abstinence from drug and alcohol addiction. A destructive living environment is likely to derail recovery for even highly motivated individuals
There is no designated length of stay, however, we do promote the expectation that our facilities are not long-term placements. We have a 3-phase system in place to help get clients established, obtain employment, and eventually transition into a more permanent home. All clients are welcome to connect with our Case Managers who can assist with work opportunities, getting connected to local health services and community resources.
