About Transitions Structured Living

Transitions Structured Living is a sober living operator based in Port St. Lucie, Florida, running its Transitions Gateway network of recovery residences across St. Lucie County.

A Port St. Lucie Sober Living Operator

Transitions Structured Living runs its houses under the Transitions Gateway brand from an administrative office at 160 NW Central Park Plaza in Port St. Lucie. The company supplies housing, structure and on-site management, and residents keep their own outpatient providers and twelve-step meetings elsewhere in St. Lucie County.

Five Sober Living Homes in Port St. Lucie

Transitions Gateway carries five houses under one management:

• Gateway Houses II, for women, in Port St. Lucie.
• Gateway I, for women, in Port St. Lucie.
• Transitions III, for men, in Port St. Lucie.
• Transitions II, for men, in Port St. Lucie.
• Gateway Houses, for men, in Port St. Lucie.

Transitions Structured Living does not publish a street address for any individual house, keeping its office as the point of contact instead. A prospective resident confirms the exact address of a specific house directly with the operator once an application moves forward.

Serving Men and Women Separately

Two of the five houses serve women and three serve men, and the operator keeps every house single-gender instead of mixing residents under one roof. Men apply to Transitions III, Transitions II or Gateway Houses, and women apply to Gateway I or Gateway Houses II.

Employment, Meetings and Zero Tolerance Across Every House

Every Transitions Gateway house runs the same core expectations: steady employment, twelve-step meeting attendance, participation in intensive outpatient aftercare where a resident's treatment plan calls for it, and a zero tolerance policy on drug and alcohol use. An on-site manager enforces the rules at each address instead of leaving it to the residents themselves.

FARR Certification and Florida's Voluntary Standard

Florida certifies recovery residences on a voluntary basis through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences, the only credentialing body the state's Department of Children and Families recognizes for this kind of housing. Anyone evaluating a Transitions Gateway house should ask the operator directly about its current certification status for that specific address.

Recovery Housing on the Treasure Coast

Port St. Lucie is the largest city in St. Lucie County, with Fort Pierce holding the county seat nearby, and the two cities together anchor the Treasure Coast's recovery services. Transitions Structured Living's concentration of five houses in one city means a resident referred by a treatment provider anywhere on the Treasure Coast has a nearby option regardless of gender.
