About this Recovery Home
1705 Matthews Lane is a coed sober living home in Austin, Texas, in Travis County. The address sits in the 78745 ZIP code on the city's south side, a section of Austin built mostly after the 1960s and now dense with the kind of independent apartments, small businesses and bus lines that a person early in recovery actually needs within walking distance.
A Coed Sober Living Home in South Austin
Coed sober housing keeps men and women in the same program while separating bedrooms and bathrooms by gender, and it suits a household built around couples, a mixed group of housemates, or simply a program that does not want to turn away a qualified applicant over gender alone. South Austin's Manchaca Road and William Cannon corridors run close to Matthews Lane, putting groceries, urgent care and a CapMetro bus line within a short drive or a long walk, which matters more than almost anything else in the first months after treatment.
Sober Living Certification in Texas
Texas has one statewide certifying body for recovery residences, the Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network, known as TROHN. Certification is voluntary, and a home does not need it to operate legally or to house people well. TROHN certification does commit a residence to a published code of ethics, a written grievance process, and outside inspection, and Texas has required it of any recovery housing that takes state referrals or funding since 2023. The Vanderburgh House guide to TROHN certification walks an operator through the process end to end.
Travis County Recovery Resources
Austin is both the seat of Travis County and the state capital, and that gives a resident of a Matthews Lane sober house access to a deep bench of outpatient providers, Austin Community College campuses, and Capital Metro's bus network without leaving the county. Integral Care, the county's public mental health and substance use authority, runs several outpatient sites within the city, and Travis County's court and probation offices sit downtown, a straightforward bus ride from South Austin.
What to Ask Before Moving Into This Austin Sober House
A prospective resident should ask directly for what a listing this size cannot answer on its own: whether a house manager lives on site, what the weekly rate covers, how bedrooms are assigned, whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted, and what happens after a relapse. Those answers, not the address alone, are what actually distinguish one Austin sober living home from another.
