ACTS Recovery Homes

About Our Women's Sober Living Home in Austin TX

Our women’s home is the only dedicated women ‘s-only location in the ACTS Recovery Homes network of five homes across Austin, TX. It operates in Austin, TX, close to our Meadows Sober Living Home on the same street, and runs completely independently as a women’s community.

The home is built on the same foundation as all ACTS homes: the 12-Step program at the center, clear expectations for every resident, and a genuine peer community. What makes it distinct is that it is built entirely around the experience of women in recovery.

Why a Women's-Only Sober Living Home Matters

Recovery as a woman is not the same as recovery as a man. The pressures are different. The history is different. The way addiction takes hold and the way it releases its grip – all of it is shaped by a woman’s specific experience.

In a women ‘s-only home, those things do not need to be explained. Conversations happen at a different depth. Support looks different. The things that women carry into recovery, and the things they are working to leave behind, are understood by the community around them without requiring translation.

That is what our Meadows Women’s home offers. It is not simply a sober living home that admits women. It is a community built for women by a network that has supported women in recovery in Austin, TX, since 2007.

What the Home Includes

Our women’s home in Austin TX includes everything needed for comfortable, focused recovery living:

  • Furnished private rooms
  • Shared kitchen and dining room
  • Laundry on site
  • Wi-Fi throughout the home
  • Shared bathrooms

The home is well-maintained and run to a standard that reflects the seriousness with which we take recovery. You deserve a home that reflects that, too.

House Expectations

Every resident at our women’s home commits to the same clear expectations:

  • Curfew applies to all residents
  • All residents must be working or actively seeking employment
  • Regular 12-Step meeting attendance is required
  • Random drug screenings are conducted for all residents
  • Everyone participates in caring for the household

These expectations are the same across all ACTS homes. They are not punitive. They are the structure on which early recovery depends. The accountability at the women’s home is real and mutual: you hold your housemates to it, and they hold you to it.

What Recovery Looks Like at the Women's Home

The 12-Step program is the foundation of daily life here. Meeting attendance, getting a sponsor, and working the steps are requirements, not suggestions. Austin has a strong women’s AA and NA community, and many residents at our Meadows Women’s home find their home group within the first week of arrival.

Employment is the other pillar. Every resident is expected to be working or actively looking for work. The discipline of having somewhere to be and something to contribute is central to recovery, not separate from it. The structure of the house creates the conditions where both sobriety and employment become sustainable habits.

A Day in the Life at Our Women's Home

Days at the women’s home follow the structure that makes recovery sustainable. Mornings start with purpose. Residents head out to work, job searches, or appointments. The discipline of having somewhere to be is central to the program.

Evenings bring the household back together. Shared meals, honest conversations, and the kind of community that forms when a group of women is all working toward the same goal. House meetings keep expectations transparent and give every resident a voice.

Austin’s women’s AA and NA meeting circuit is active and welcoming. Many residents find a women’s home group within the first week and build connections through the local recovery community that last long past their time in the house.

The Women's Community at ACTS

The community at our women’s home is one of the most genuine things about it. Residents support each other through hard mornings, celebrate each other’s milestones, and show up for each other in the way people who understand one another can.

Many women arrive at our home having been through other sober living environments that did not feel safe, did not feel serious, or did not feel built for them. What they find at Meadows Women’s is different. A network of women who know what it is to rebuild, and who take the work of supporting each other seriously.
