Joshua Sober House Men's Sober House

About this Sober House

Joshua Sober House is a men's sober living home in Tucson, Arizona, in Pima County, run by Joshua House Transitional Living on North Geronimo Avenue. The program has operated for more than two decades and has walked over a thousand men through its Christian-based recovery curriculum.

A Faith-Based Sober House on North Geronimo Avenue

Men 18 and older move into Joshua Sober House to work a recovery program built explicitly around Christian faith. The house frames recovery as a spiritual undertaking as much as a behavioral one, with residents encouraged to forgive themselves and rebuild from there rather than dwell on the past.

A Long-Running Tucson Recovery Program

Joshua House Transitional Living has run this model in Tucson for more than 20 years, and the organization counts more than 1,000 men through its housing since founding. That track record is unusual among sober living homes, most of which turn over ownership or close within a few years of opening.

What Certification Would Add to This Sober House

Joshua Sober House is not currently listed with the Arizona Recovery Housing Association, the state's NARR affiliate. Certification would commit the house to a published code of ethics, written fee and rule disclosure, and an outside complaint process, on top of the faith-based structure it already runs.

Recovery Housing in Tucson and Pima County

Tucson is the seat of Pima County and the second-largest city in Arizona, with a treatment and recovery infrastructure large enough to support a men's sober house drawing from across the region. Geronimo Avenue sits inside the city's established grid, within reach of the bus routes and outpatient providers a resident needs before a car is realistic.

Applying to Joshua Sober House

Men interested in the program apply directly to Joshua House Transitional Living. Its faith-based approach is not a fit for everyone, and prospective residents should ask directly about the program's religious expectations before committing.

More on The Sober House As a Christian based program, we strive to incorporate Christian ethics in our program. Our goal is to help the client re-evaluate past negative ways of thinking and learn a new way of thinking that emulates the behaviors of Jesus Christ. We don't run or try to forget our past, but rather find ways to parlay our past, both the negative and the positive, into a  successful productive way of living.
