About Ascension House

Ascension House is a sober living operator in Austin, Texas, running single-gender recovery housing across the city for the past decade. The organization operates a Men's Recovery House and a Women's Recovery House as two separate programs, each with its own staff and structure.

An Austin Sober Living Operator

Ascension House provides housing, structure and peer accountability. Residents arrange outpatient counseling and medical care separately through Austin providers. The organization's role is keeping the household consistent, the expectations clear and the community functioning day to day.

Separate Men's and Women's Programs

Ascension House splits its housing at the program level: the Men's Recovery House serves men, and the Women's Recovery House serves women, each run as its own household with its own peer structure. That separation means neither program has to compromise its rules or its group dynamic to accommodate the other.

Serving Austin and Travis County

Ascension House's programs sit in the North University area near the University of Texas, inside Travis County and close to downtown Austin. That location gives residents of either program access to the city's concentration of treatment providers, meetings and entry-level jobs without needing a car right away.

A Decade of Recovery Housing in Austin

Ascension House describes itself as having served the Austin recovery community for roughly ten years, which gives the organization a longer track record than many private operators in a city where sober living turns over quickly.

Reaching Ascension House

Admissions run through Ascension House directly, and the organization can speak to which of its two programs fits a given applicant, what the peer accountability structure looks like day to day, and how residents coordinate outside clinical care while living in the house.
