Austin Sober Living & Transitional Housing Options
SOBER HOUSES & TRANSITIONAL LIVING
For optimum recovery and relapse prevention, sober living is highly recommended for those new to sobriety or returning after a period of time.
A sober living house or transitional living is a sober residence for those who have a minimum of 30 days of sobriety and ideally have completed treatment at a residential treatment center or outpatient rehab program. Sober homes provide daily support and structure in a cooperative living arrangement and assist the newly sober person in transitioning back into society to live independently. See the Extended Care page for more structured and longer length of stay sober living options.
