ACTS Sober Living Homes
ACTS Recovery Homes has been providing structured sober living in Austin, TX, since 2007. If you or someone you love is looking for a safe, supportive place to rebuild a sober life, we have five homes across Austin for both men and women, and we’re ready to help. Call us anytime at (512) 900-5711. There is no wrong time to reach out, and there is no obligation. You can also apply online, and we will get back to you quickly.
Our name says it all. ACTS stands for Active Commitment To Sobriety — and that commitment is what every resident makes when they walk through the door. Our goal is to provide a safe, structured environment for the individual who wants to apply a 12-Step approach to their life, gain stability, and become a productive member of society. We treat every resident with respect and dignity, and we expect the same in return.
Recovery is not an event. It is a lifestyle commitment — one that shows up in your daily habits, your relationships, and the choices you make when no one is watching. At ACTS Recovery Homes, we build the structure that makes that commitment possible, one day at a time.
Recovery, Hope, Community, Transformation — The ACTS Approach
Four values drive everything we do at our sober homes in Austin TX. They are not marketing words — they are the lived experience of every resident who has come through our doors.
The emphasis at every ACTS home is recovery — not just sobriety. That means working the 12-Step program, attending meetings, getting a sponsor, and doing the daily work that lasting sobriety requires.
Many residents arrive at ACTS having tried before. We meet everyone where they are. Hope is not a feeling we promise — it is something we build together through action and accountability.
You are not doing this alone. Every ACTS home is a community of people with the same goal. Residents encourage and hold each other accountable, often becoming each other’s longest-lasting support system.
The residents who succeed at ACTS do not just get sober. They become different — more stable, more responsible, more connected to the world around them. That transformation is the whole point.
What ACTS Recovery Homes Provides in Austin TX
Our homes provide more than a place to sleep. We offer a structured environment where residents get the practical support they need to transition from early recovery to living a fully independent, sober life.
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 — Four Homes
We operate four homes for men across Austin, TX. If you are a man serious about your recovery and ready to live in a community that holds you to it, our men’s sober living in Austin is built for exactly that. Each home runs on the same structured 12-Step model with its own tight-knit community of men doing the work together.
Our men’s homes are located on Collinfield Drive, Pointer Lane, Aspen Street, and South Meadows Drive in North and South Austin. All four offer furnished rooms, shared kitchen and dining, laundry, and Wi-Fi, alongside a house full of men who understand what accountability really means.
Call us at (512) 900-5711, and we will help you find the right fit. If one home is full, we will connect you with another.
Women's Sober Living in Austin TX — A Home Built for Women
Our women’s sober living home on South Meadows Drive in Austin TX, is a dedicated, women-only community. We know that women in recovery face a specific set of challenges, and our Meadows Women’s home is designed to meet them with a safe, structured, and deeply supportive environment.
The expectations are the same as in our men’s homes — curfew, employment, meeting attendance, and random drug screenings — but the community is one built entirely by and for women on the path to lasting sobriety.
Our 12-Step Sober Living Program in Austin TX
The 12-Step approach is the foundation of our 12-Step sober living program in Austin TX. It shapes everything — from the meetings residents attend to the conversations at the dinner table to the sponsors they find in the wider Austin recovery community.
Austin has one of the strongest AA and NA communities in Texas. Our locations put residents within reach of meetings throughout the city, and many find that the meeting community becomes an extension of the support they receive at home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sober Living in Austin TX
What is the difference between sober living and a halfway house?
Sober living homes like ACTS are voluntary, peer-supported communities for people who have chosen sobriety. Halfway houses are typically court-mandated and are more short-term. At ACTS, you choose to be here — and that choice is a meaningful part of why recovery works. Read more in our post on sober living vs. a halfway house.
Do I need to have completed treatment before moving in?
Not necessarily. We welcome residents who are serious about their recovery, with or without a formal treatment background. We ask for a minimum of 30 days of sobriety before moving in.
How long can I stay at an ACTS Recovery Home?
There is no fixed time limit. Many residents stay six months to a year or more. Read more about what to expect after rehab and how long sober living typically takes.
