Our home on Collinfield Drive in North Austin has been the foundation of ACTS Recovery Homes since we opened in December 2007. If you are looking for structured sober living in Austin TX, this is where it all started — and it remains one of our most established communities. Call us anytime at (512) 900-5711. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Located in the 78758 zip code of North Central Austin, the Collinfield home sits in a quiet, established residential neighborhood — close to employment, close to meetings, and surrounded by a community that has been building sober lives for nearly two decades.
About This Sober Living Home in Austin TX
The Collinfield home is one of five sober living homes in Austin TX operated by ACTS Recovery Homes. We run on a 12-Step recovery program model — meetings, sponsorship, and step work are not optional extras here. They are central to what recovery looks like every day.
This home serves men and women in recovery. If your situation is better suited to one of our other locations — including our men’s sober living homes or our women’s sober living home on South Meadows Drive — we will make sure you get connected to the right place.
What the Home Includes
The Collinfield home is set up for comfortable, focused community living:
- Furnished private rooms
- Shared kitchen and dining room
- Laundry on site
- Wi-Fi throughout the home
- Shared bathrooms
The home is clean, well-maintained, and run to a standard that reflects the seriousness with which we approach recovery. You bring your commitment. We take care of the rest.
House Expectations
Every resident at the Collinfield home agrees to the same expectations on arrival:
- Curfew is in effect for all residents
- All residents must be working or actively seeking employment
- Regular 12-Step meeting attendance is required
- Random drug screenings apply to everyone, no exceptions
- Residents contribute to maintaining the household community
These expectations are the same across all five ACTS homes. The men and women who lean into them consistently do far better than those who resist them. The structure is not punishment — it is the framework that early sobriety depends on.
A Day in the Life at Collinfield
Mornings at the Collinfield home start with purpose. Residents wake up, take care of their space, and head out to work or job search — because being out of the house and engaged is part of what we expect. AA and NA meetings are woven into the week, and many residents find a home group within walking or transit distance of the house.
Evenings bring the household back together — shared meals, conversations, and the kind of informal accountability that happens when you live with people who understand what you are going through. House meetings happen regularly to address expectations, celebrate milestones, and keep the community strong.
Weekends open up for additional meetings, service work, recreational outings, and personal development. Many residents use the time to work on their step work, connect with their sponsors, or pursue educational goals they have put off.
What to Expect When You Move In
Moving into a sober living home is a big step. We want it to feel as clear and straightforward as possible. When you arrive at the Collinfield home, you will be shown your furnished room, introduced to your housemates, and walked through the house expectations in full. Nothing will be a surprise.
The first week is about settling in — getting your bearings, establishing a routine, and connecting with the community around you. You will not be thrown in alone. The house has been here since 2007, and there are always residents who have been through the same first days you are experiencing.

Who Thrives at the Collinfield Home
Not everyone who walks through our door is in the same place in their recovery. But the residents who thrive at Collinfield share a few things in common: they are willing to be held accountable, they are ready to show up for themselves and for others, and they understand that recovery is not something that happens to you — it is something you build every day.
If you have been in other sober living environments that felt unserious or unstructured, you will notice the difference here. We have been doing this since 2007 and the community at Collinfield reflects nearly two decades of learning what works.
