The Horton House Sober Living
About The Horton House Sober Living
The Horton House Sober Living is a sober living operator based in San Marcos, Texas, running recovery homes across Hays County. The organization recently secured 501(c)(3) nonprofit status and runs three houses on Smith Lane, combining twelve-step meetings, Bible study and Celebrate Recovery groups with hands-on help finding work.
A San Marcos Recovery Housing Provider
The Horton House describes its mission as providing a safe, comfortable environment for members starting or continuing a life free from drugs and alcohol. As a nonprofit, it runs on donations and volunteer support alongside resident dues, and it leans on a faith-based, twelve-step community model. Residents keep their own outpatient providers and sponsors; the organization's job is the house itself, not clinical care.
Three Sober Living Homes on Smith Lane
The Horton House Sober Living operates three residences, all on the same street in San Marcos:
- 320 Smith Lane, a men's sober living home.
- 310 Smith Lane, a second men's sober living home.
- 322 Smith Lane, a coed sober living home.
Clustering three houses on one street keeps the operator's oversight tight. A resident who needs a different set of housemates, or who transitions between a men's and a coed environment, can move without leaving the same block or losing access to the same staff and volunteers.
A Faith-Based Program Across These Recovery Homes
Programming across the Smith Lane houses centers on Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings, Bible study, and Celebrate Recovery groups, a faith-based twelve-step curriculum. New members get thirty days of initial support while they look for work, setting a clear expectation: the houses are built for people ready to start job-hunting almost immediately, not for an open-ended stay.
What a Month at the 320 Smith Lane Sober Living Home Costs
320 Smith Lane, recently remodeled inside and out, rents shared and single rooms for $600 a month per resident. That figure covers a bed in a working, updated house, which matters for anyone comparing The Horton House against unrenovated sober living stock elsewhere in San Marcos.
Support Beyond Rent at These Recovery Homes
The Horton House extends help past the monthly due: it can assist with a first month's dues, a driver's license, bus passes, and medication costs until a new resident lands a paycheck. For someone arriving with little more than what they left treatment with, that kind of bridge funding often determines whether the first thirty days actually work.
San Marcos and Hays County Recovery Housing
San Marcos is the seat of Hays County and sits on the Interstate 35 corridor roughly halfway between Austin and San Antonio, home to Texas State University and a large service-industry job market that hires quickly. That combination, a college town's entry-level jobs and two major cities within reach, is a practical setting for the job search the Horton House program is built around.
Reaching The Horton House Sober Living in San Marcos, Texas
Applicants can reach the organization directly to ask which of the three Smith Lane houses has an open bed, what the current monthly due is at each address, and how the thirty-day employment expectation is enforced. As a nonprofit running three connected houses, The Horton House can usually place a new member on the same block even if the first house asked about is full.
