A Women's Sober House in Tucson Estates

This house serves women only, keeping house meetings, chores and shared space limited to one population under one set of house rules. No independent source publishes the exact street for this location, so applicants work through Paxton House directly to confirm placement.

Who Runs This House: Paxton House

Paxton House has run transitional and sober living housing in the Tucson area since 2009, according to its Better Business Bureau file, and describes itself as operating multiple men's and women's houses across midtown Tucson. This location extends that footprint into Tucson Estates on the city's southwest side.

House Rules and Program Structure

Paxton House requires an on-site house manager, a weekly house meeting, and at least two outside twelve-step meetings a week for every resident. Applicants must have completed detoxification before moving in, and continued sobriety is a condition of staying.

Certification and Licensing in Arizona

Paxton House states on its own site that it operates under approval from the Arizona Recovery Housing Association, the state's voluntary certifying body for sober living homes. Arizona separately licenses sober living homes through the Arizona Department of Health Services; residents can confirm a specific home's status through the state's public lookup before moving in.

Recovery Housing in Pima County

Tucson Estates sits in Pima County on the western edge of the Tucson metro, giving residents access to the county's treatment and outpatient network without being in the middle of downtown Tucson. Pima County is home to the bulk of southern Arizona's recovery housing, and a resident here is a short drive from the meetings and providers concentrated closer to the city center.
