About Better Days Sober Living

Better Days Sober Living is a sober living operator in Arlington, Texas, in Tarrant County, running certified recovery housing for men in the Dallas, Fort Worth Metroplex. The organization runs on a simple stated principle, "Following Accountability with Action," and both of its Arlington houses hold Level II certification from the Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network.

A Men's Sober Living Operator in Arlington

Better Days describes its mission as building "a self-sufficient structured environment for men," and that shows up in daily practice: a house manager lives on site at each residence, and accountability runs on random drug and breathalyzer testing, not an honor system. The organization pairs that structure with weekly meetings where residents talk through progress and setbacks as a group.

Two Certified Sober Houses in Arlington

Better Days operates two men's residences in Arlington, Homestead House and Sandhurst House, both certified at Level II by the Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network. Running two houses under one operator gives Better Days room to place a man where the current house mix fits him best, and to move him if it does not.

Financial Assistance Funded by Donations

Better Days maintains a scholarship program, funded through donations, that covers rent, food and toiletries for residents who need it. A structured recovery house is only useful to someone who can actually afford to stay in it, and that scholarship fund is the organization's answer to the men who show up with the least.

TROHN Level II Certification at Both Houses

Both Better Days houses carry Level II certification from the Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network, the state's NARR affiliate, which is voluntary in Texas. That certification commits the organization to a published code of ethics, disclosed fees and rules before move-in, and an outside complaint process for both properties.

Serving the Dallas, Fort Worth Metroplex

Arlington sits between Dallas and Fort Worth in Tarrant County, and Better Days accepts referrals from across the country into a Metroplex-wide job market and service network. The organization's website states plainly that it takes residents from outside Texas as readily as from inside it.
