ACTS Recovery Homes

About the Aspen Home

The Aspen home sits in a quiet, well-established residential neighborhood in Austin TX. The neighborhood itself matters. Early recovery needs stability and routine, and the Aspen home’s setting provides residents with a grounded, calm environment where the focus can be on what it’s supposed to be: the work of sobriety.

This home serves men in recovery. It’s a furnished, community-style house with private rooms, a shared kitchen and dining space, on-site laundry, and Wi-Fi throughout. The home is clean, organized, and maintained to a high standard. The environment you live in reflects the standard you hold yourself to. That principle is built into how the Aspen home is run.

What defines the Aspen home most is its peer community. This is a smaller, closer-knit house, and that tightness of community is one of its most valuable characteristics. The men here know each other well. Accountability isn’t abstract. It’s the person across the kitchen table, the housemate who notices when someone’s off, the peer who’s been through what you’re going through and says so plainly. That depth of community takes time to build, and the Aspen home has had years to build it.

Recovery at the Aspen home runs on a consistent principle: the more you put into the structure, the more the community can hold you when you need it. The men who show up fully, to meetings, to step work, to the house, are the ones who get the most out of the Aspen home. That’s been true here since we opened.

Austin TX is one of the strongest cities in Texas to pursue sobriety. The AA and NA communities here are large, active, and genuinely welcoming. Most new residents at the Aspen home connect with a home group within the first week of arrival. The recovery network that forms through those meetings often becomes one of the most lasting parts of a resident’s time at the Aspen home.

House Program and Expectations

Every resident at the Aspen home commits to the same expectations on arrival. These are the same across all five ACTS homes:

  • All residents must be working or actively searching for work
  • Regular AA or NA meeting attendance is required from day one
  • An active sponsor relationship and real step work are required
  • Random drug and alcohol screenings apply to every resident
  • Curfew is in effect every night
  • Residents share responsibility for maintaining the house

These expectations are not negotiable. They’re not there to control. They’re there because recovery in a community without structure isn’t recovery. It’s just waiting. The men who resist the structure early are usually the ones who leave early. The men who commit to it usually stay long enough for it to matter.

Employment is central to the program. Working or actively searching for work isn’t just a rule. It’s one of the most practical building blocks of stable sobriety. Financial independence, daily structure, and the discipline of showing up somewhere every day are all part of what the Aspen home is designed to support. The Austin TX area gives residents realistic access to employment across a wide range of industries.

The 12-Step Foundation

The 12-Step program is the backbone of life at the Aspen home. Meeting attendance is required. Getting a sponsor is required. Working the steps is required. If you want to understand the full details of what this looks like day-to-day, read our program overview before reaching out.

Austin TX, has one of the strongest AA and NA communities in Texas. Hundreds of meetings run across the city every week. The Aspen home’s location puts residents within reach of that community from day one. Most men find their home group within the first week. The sponsor relationships built through Austin’s recovery community are often the most lasting relationships that come out of a man’s time in the house.

Step work is where recovery becomes more than just abstinence. Sitting with a sponsor and honestly moving through the steps: making the inventory, doing the amends, building a daily practice. That is what transforms sobriety from something you’re maintaining into something you’re living. The Aspen home has been supporting that process since 2007.
