Paxton House

About Paxton House

Paxton House is a sober living operator based in Tucson, Arizona, running men's and women's recovery homes across Pima County since 2009.

A Long-Running Tucson Sober Living Operator

Paxton House has operated in the Tucson area for more than fifteen years, according to its Better Business Bureau file, which makes it one of the longer-tenured sober living operators in southern Arizona. Longevity in this field usually means a working relationship with local detox and treatment providers, since referrals are what keep a sober living operator full over that many years.

Serving Tucson Estates

Paxton House runs both a men's and a women's house in Tucson Estates, on the southwest side of the Tucson metro:

• Paxton Sober House Women, in Tucson Estates, for women.
• Paxton Sober House, in Tucson Estates, for men.

The organization describes running additional properties across midtown Tucson as well, making Tucson Estates one part of a wider network rather than its only location.

Serving Men and Women in Separate Houses

Paxton House keeps its men's and women's residents in separate households, each following the same core program: a live-in house manager, a weekly house meeting, and at least two outside twelve-step meetings a week for every resident.

Certification and Licensing in Arizona

Paxton House credits its properties with approval from the Arizona Recovery Housing Association, the state's voluntary NARR affiliate, and Arizona separately licenses sober living homes through the Arizona Department of Health Services. The two credentials give a resident an outside record to check beyond the organization's own claims.

Applying to a Paxton House Sober Living Home

Applicants require completed detoxification before move-in. Beyond that entry requirement, the questions worth asking cover which house has an opening, what the weekly fee includes, and how Paxton House handles a relapse once someone has moved in.
