If you or someone you love is ready to rebuild a sober life, we’ve got five homes across Austin for men and women. Call us anytime at (512) 900-5711.

Our name says exactly what we are. ACTS stands for Active Commitment To Sobriety. That’s not a tagline. It’s the operating principle of every home we run. Recovery doesn’t happen passively. It happens through daily action, in meetings, in step work, in employment, and in the honest accountability of living alongside people who are doing the same work.
We’re not a treatment center. We’re not a halfway house. We’re a structured sober living community for adults who’ve made the decision to get sober and are ready to live in an environment that holds them to it.
What Makes ACTS Different
We’ve been at this since December 2007. That’s nearly two decades of learning what works and what doesn’t. What we’ve learned isn’t complicated: structure, accountability, employment, and the 12-Step program. Those four things, consistently applied, give people in early recovery a real shot.
Every ACTS home runs the same model. The rules are consistent across all five locations. Residents must be working or actively searching for work, attending AA or NA meetings, maintaining an active sponsor relationship, and following house rules, including curfew and random drug screening. The peer community does a lot of the heavy lifting. Living alongside people with the same goal changes how you think about sobriety.
We have 34 five-star Google reviews. Mike Archer, our owner, is personally involved with every home and every resident. He’s reachable, he knows who’s in the house, and he knows when something’s wrong. That personal involvement isn’t a feature. It’s how ACTS has always worked.
We’re fully insured, and we’ve operated continuously since 2007. There’s no gap in our history, no change in ownership, no shift in how we run the program. When you move into an ACTS home, you’re joining something that has worked for many people over a long time.

Our 12-Step Program in Austin TX
The 12-Step sober living program is the foundation of everything we do at ACTS. Meeting attendance is required. Getting a sponsor is required. Working the steps is required. These aren’t optional add-ons. They’re the structure of the program.
Austin, TX, has one of the strongest AA and NA communities in Texas. Hundreds of meetings run throughout the week across the city. Most new residents find their home group within the first week. The support network is already there. We help every resident connect to it from day one.
Step work is the personal, one-on-one work done with a sponsor. Not just attending meetings, but sitting down and working through each step honestly. Residents who engage fully with step work consistently achieve better long-term outcomes. We’ve watched this pattern for nearly two decades.
Every ACTS home operates as a transitional living environment — a bridge between treatment or early recovery and fully independent living. We give residents the time and structure to build the habits, routines, and community that sobriety depends on. If you have recently completed a treatment program or are simply serious about your recovery, transitional living is often the most important step you can take.
Job Search Support
Every resident at ACTS is expected to be working or actively looking for work. We do not see employment as separate from recovery — we see it as central to it. Having a reason to get up in the morning, a routine that structures your day, and the self-respect that comes from earning your own way are all part of becoming a productive member of society. Our North Austin locations put residents close to employment opportunities across the Domain corridor, retail, food service, and light industrial sectors.
Education and Personal Development
Recovery gives you your life back. Education and personal development help you build the life you want to live. We encourage residents to pursue GEDs, vocational training, community college, and any educational path that aligns with their goals. Many residents use their time at ACTS to lay the groundwork for a future they could not have imagined when they arrived.
Men's Sober Living in Austin TX
We operate four men’s sober living homes in Austin, TX. Our Collinfield, Pointer, and Aspen homes are in Austin, TX. Our Meadows home is in South Austin. All four run the same structured 12-Step program with the same daily expectations, curfews, employment requirements, and random drug screening.
What differs between the homes is the community each house builds over time. Some residents do better in a tighter-knit home. Others do better with more space. When you call us, we’ll talk through your situation and help you match with the right location based on availability and fit. There’s no wrong question to ask.
Women's Sober Living in Austin TX
Our Meadows Women’s Sober Living home is a dedicated, women-only recovery environment in South Austin TX. It’s not a mixed home with a women’s wing. It’s built specifically for women in recovery, with the same 12-Step requirements, employment expectations, and peer accountability as every other ACTS home.
Recovery as a woman is different. The history is different. The pressures are different. A woman’s only home means those things don’t need to be explained to those around her. South Austin’s recovery community is one of the most supportive in the city.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is sober living, and how does it work at ACTS?
Sober living is structured transitional housing for adults in recovery from alcohol or drug addiction. At ACTS, it means working the 12-Step program, maintaining employment, attending meetings, staying connected with a sponsor, and following house rules, including curfew and drug screening. We’ve run this model in Austin, TX, since December 2007. It isn’t complicated, but it does require full commitment.
Who can live at an ACTS home?
We accept men and women who have at least 30 days of sobriety and are genuinely ready for a structured program. You don’t need to have completed a formal treatment program first. If you’ve got 30 days and you’re ready to do the work, call us at (512) 900-5711. We’ll talk through your situation and what’s currently available across our five homes.
What does ACTS stand for?
ACTS stands for Active Commitment To Sobriety. The name reflects our core belief that recovery is built through deliberate daily action, not through passive time-serving. Meetings, step work, employment, and peer accountability are all forms of that active commitment. Every resident who moves in makes that commitment on day one.
How long can someone stay at an ACTS home?
There’s no maximum stay. Research consistently shows that longer stays in structured sober living produce significantly better long-term outcomes than shorter ones. We encourage residents to stay until the real markers of independent living are genuinely in place: stable employment, an active sponsor relationship, an established home group, and financial stability. Most residents who succeed stay six months to a year or longer.
How do I apply or check availability?
Call us at (512) 900-5711. We answer 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We’ll ask a few questions about where you are in your recovery, walk you through the program requirements, and let you know what’s available. You can also go through our admissions page online.
