ACTS Recovery Homes

About ACTS Aspen Sober Living Home

The Aspen home is part of the ACTS Recovery Homes network — five sober living homes across Austin TX operating under the same 12-Step recovery model since 2007. Meetings, sponsorship, step work, and community accountability are central to life here.

This home serves adults in recovery. If a different location is a better fit — including our dedicated women’s sober living home on South Meadows Drive — we will get you connected. We have five homes across Austin and we will find the right one for your situation.

What the Home Includes

Our Aspen Street 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

We keep our homes maintained to a high standard because the environment you live in matters to your recovery. The Aspen home is clean, well-organized, and held to a standard that reflects the work everyone inside it is doing.

What Recovery Looks Like at ACTS Aspen

Recovery at the Aspen home runs on a simple principle: the more structure you bring to your day, the less room there is for the thinking that gets people into trouble. That sounds straightforward. Living it is a different thing entirely — and that is why community matters.

Every resident at the Aspen home is connected to the 12-Step program. Meeting attendance, sponsorship, and step work are requirements, not suggestions. Austin’s AA and NA community is one of the strongest in Texas, and our Aspen Street location puts residents within easy reach of it from day one. Many residents find a home group in the first week and build lasting connections through the local recovery community.

The Aspen home has a culture of honesty that runs deeper than just following the rules. Residents challenge each other, encourage each other, and hold each other to the standard they expect from themselves. That culture does not happen automatically — it is built deliberately by the community that lives here.

House Expectations

Every resident at our Aspen home commits to the same expectations on arrival:

  • Curfew applies to all residents
  • All residents must be working or actively pursuing employment
  • 12-Step meeting attendance is required on a regular basis
  • Random drug screenings are conducted for everyone
  • Residents participate in maintaining the household

These expectations are non-negotiable — and that is the point. When everyone in the house holds the same line, the house works. The residents who come in willing to be held accountable consistently get far more out of the experience than those who resist it.

A Day in the Life at Aspen Street

Life at the Aspen home starts early. Residents are up and out in the mornings — to work, to job searches, to appointments. The discipline of having somewhere to be and something to contribute is not incidental to recovery here. It is one of the non-negotiables, and it is one of the most reliable predictors of long-term success.

Evenings bring the house together. Shared meals, honest conversations, and the kind of community that forms when people are all working toward the same goal with real honesty. Regular house meetings keep the community tight — expectations are revisited, milestones are recognized, and the culture of accountability gets renewed.

Weekends at Aspen are for the deeper work of recovery. Step work with sponsors, additional meetings, personal development, and the recreational activities that sobriety actually makes possible. Many residents use weekend time to pursue GEDs, vocational training, or simply to build the habits and life skills that employment and independence require.

The Aspen Street Neighborhood — North Austin, 78758

Aspen Street is in North Austin’s 78758 zip code — well-connected by public transit, close to a wide range of employment, and within reach of a strong local recovery community. The Domain employment corridor is nearby, offering access to employers across retail, food service, hospitality, and light industrial sectors — realistic options for residents who are getting back into the workforce from day one.

North Austin’s AA and NA meeting circuit is active and accessible. Multiple groups meet within easy transit distance of Aspen Street throughout the week and on weekends. Many residents build a meeting community in this part of North Austin that becomes one of the most lasting parts of their recovery, long after they have moved into independent living.
