Active Recovery Homes Men; Women's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Active Recovery Homes is a sober living home for men and women in Austin, Texas, in Travis County, built around a recovery coaching model.

Men's and Women's Sober Living on Elija Street

This South Austin address houses both men and women in recovery, run by an operator that pairs its housing with individual recovery coaching; the house alone is not treated as the entire program. That combination means residents get a coach alongside a place to live, not one or the other.

Recovery Coaching Built Into the House

The organization behind this address was created specifically to combine sober living with recovery coaching, on the premise that a coach working with someone daily inside their living situation reaches further than a coach seen once a week in an office. Staff coaching residents here are certified personal trainers who are themselves in recovery, which puts fitness and physical routine at the center of the coaching relationship.

What Sets This Austin Sober House Apart

Most sober living homes separate housing from any coaching or clinical service, referring residents elsewhere for both. Active Recovery Homes folds that support into daily life at the house itself, with a vetting process for incoming residents meant to protect the culture already established among the people living there.
