Casa Vida Men; Women's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Casa Vida is a sober living home in El Paso, Texas, in El Paso County, serving both men and women and certified at Level II and Level III by the Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network. Recovery Alliance, a peer recovery organization based in the city, operates the house.

A Sober House Serving Men and Women Separately

Casa Vida is unusual among Recovery Alliance's four houses in accepting both men and women, and the operator maintains it as one property with separate housing for each gender. A street address is not published for the residence; Recovery Alliance handles placement directly with each applicant.

What TROHN Certification Commits the House To

Nothing in Texas requires a sober house to certify, which makes Casa Vida's Level II and III standing with the Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network a deliberate choice. Certification requires a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, and a complaint process a resident can take outside the house. That record exists for Casa Vida the same as it does for Recovery Alliance's other three houses.

Part of a Four-House El Paso Network

Casa Vida operates alongside Alas Nuevas, Album House and the larger Casa Vida de Salud, all run by Recovery Alliance. Accepting both genders under one operator gives the organization flexibility to place couples, siblings or referrals who need housing on the same timeline without splitting a family across two agencies.

Recovery Housing for El Paso County

El Paso is the largest city and county seat in Far West Texas, and its size supports the kind of full-service recovery infrastructure, outpatient care, courts and employment that a border town half its size could not sustain on its own.
