Jax Sober Living House

About Jax Sober Living House

Jax Sober Living House is a sober living operator in the Jacksonville Beach, Florida area, running five recovery homes under Jim Kerr across Duval County's coastal neighborhoods.

A Jacksonville Beach Recovery Housing Provider

The organization grounds its program in the twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and describes its aim as a safe, loving and comfortable environment for residents. Houses sit in wooded, residential parts of the Jacksonville Beach area, several within about three miles of the ocean, and a number of them include a swimming pool on the property.

Five Homes, Four for Men and One for Women

Jax Sober Living House runs its residences at separate addresses across the area, split by gender:

• Jax Sober Living for Men, in Jacksonville Beach.
• Jax Sober Living Women, in Jacksonville Beach.

These are two of the operator's five total houses, four for men and one for women, making the men's program the larger side of a still relatively small operation.

A Beach-Town Setting for Recovery

The wooded, near-ocean setting the operator favors is a deliberate contrast to a more urban sober house environment, and the pool amenities at several properties are part of how the organization presents its houses to prospective residents. That kind of setting tends to appeal to residents who want distance from a downtown recovery scene without leaving the Jacksonville area entirely.

Duval County's Consolidated Recovery Infrastructure

Jacksonville Beach is its own municipality, but Duval County's city and county governments are consolidated around Jacksonville proper, which anchors the region's larger courts, outpatient providers and job market. A short drive from the coast puts a Jax Sober Living House resident inside that entire network.

Reaching Jax Sober Living House

Applications go directly to the operator under Jim Kerr. The organization lists FARR and National Alliance for Recovery Residences affiliation among its credentials; the specific certification status of any individual house is worth confirming directly, along with which of the five properties has openings at a given time.
