If you’re searching for a safe, structured place to rebuild your life after detox, residential treatment, or early recovery, sober living Austin offers the stability and accountability many people need to thrive. Austin’s blend of world-class recovery resources, strong employment opportunities, and an active, outdoorsy lifestyle makes it one of the most supportive cities in the country for long-term recovery. At Eudaimonia Recovery Homes, we’ve seen thousands of residents turn a turning point into a totally new direction—thanks to clear house standards, peer support, and a step-by-step path back to independence.
Why Choose Austin for Sober Living?
Austin’s community is rich with 12-Step and non-12-Step meetings, recovery events, and volunteer opportunities. From early-morning groups to late-night meetings, you can find support around your schedule.
With a diversified economy (tech, healthcare, hospitality, service, and trades), Austin makes it easier to return to work, build a resume, or enroll in nearby classes and certification programs.
The city’s greenbelts, Lady Bird Lake trails, and year-round outdoor activities support the routines that keep recovery strong: exercise, sunshine, and positive social connection.
Our locations are thoughtfully placed with access to bus routes, major roads, grocery stores, and employers—making daily life simpler while you rebuild structure.
What to Expect in a High-Quality Sober Living Home
A sober living residence should be more than a roof and a rulebook. At Eudaimonia, we focus on structure, safety, and support:
Drug- and alcohol-free environment: Clear abstinence standards with routine accountability.
House leadership and mentorship: On-site house managers and peer leaders help with conflict resolution, community building, and day-to-day stability.
Curated community norms: Chores, curfews, meeting attendance, and progress milestones maintain a healthy, respectful culture.
Recovery programming alignment: While sober living isn’t treatment, residents are encouraged to maintain therapy, IOP, or support group attendance as clinically appropriate.
Life-skills and reintegration support: Budgeting, time management, job-search support, transportation planning, and relapse-prevention routines are part of daily life.
Privacy with accountability: Comfortable, well-maintained homes with clear expectations so you can focus on your goals.
The Eudaimonia Difference
Eudaimonia Recovery Homes specializes in supportive, well-run sober living that balances independence with accountability. Residents benefit from:
Consistent house standards that are communicated clearly and applied fairly.
Community connection through house meetings, peer mentoring, and shared goals.
Professional oversight to ensure safety, cleanliness, and a positive living environment.
A step-down path that encourages responsibility—moving from higher structure to greater independence as you progress.
If you’re coming from inpatient or residential treatment, transitioning into sober living Austin helps you keep your momentum—keeping triggers at bay while you rebuild routines, strengthen coping skills, and re-enter work or school with a solid support system.
Men’s and Women’s Sober Living Options
Recovery thrives when the living environment supports focus, safety, and connection. For many residents, gender-specific housing creates that ideal setting:
sober living for men: Build accountability with peers who share similar experiences and goals, while practicing leadership, responsibility, and daily structure.
sober living for women: Grow in a supportive environment that emphasizes safety, healthy boundaries, and routines that reinforce self-care and empowerment.
Both options offer the same Eudaimonia standards of cleanliness, respect, and recovery-aligned structure—so you can choose the environment where you’ll feel most focused and supported.
How Sober Living Fits Into Your Recovery Plan
Think of sober living as a bridge between treatment and full independence. It’s especially beneficial if you:
Want a safe, trigger-reduced environment while you stabilize new habits.
Need peer accountability to stay on track with meetings, therapy, work, or school.
Are returning to Austin and want to rebuild healthy connections and routines.
Value structure while you improve life skills like budgeting, time management, nutrition, and communication.
Residents often pair sober living with outpatient services (like therapy, IOP, or psychiatric care) as recommended. This integrated approach keeps your progress consistent and measurable.
What a Typical Week Can Look Like
While every house has its own rhythm, most residents find success with a weekly routine like this:
Daily
Work or school, exercise or walks on the trail, house chores, evening peer support or meetings.
2–4 times
per week
Recovery meetings, therapy/IOP, sponsor/sponsee calls, or skills groups.
Weekly
House meeting, goal review, and planning for upcoming commitments.
Monthly
Progress check-ins and milestone celebrations to mark growth and build confidence.
This consistent cadence reinforces recovery tools—so healthy habits become your new normal.

These homes offer structure, peer support, life-skills training, and a safe, accountable environment to help maintain long-term sobriety.

Homes typically require participation in recovery meetings (12-Step or equivalent), chores, curfews, accountability check-ins, employment or education commitments, peer group support, sometimes individual or group therapy, and regular drug/alcohol testing.
Programs often include peer mentorship or peer recovery support, relapse prevention coaching, life skills training (e.g. budgeting, job prep), outpatient or intensive outpatient programs (IOP), educational planning, maybe clinical therapy or counseling, and community integration.
Fully furnished homes reduce the stress of moving in (you don’t have to invest in furniture or essentials), allow residents to better focus on recovery, cut some financial burden, and foster a more comfortable, stable environment that feels like home.
It means a living space with strict no drug/alcohol policies, oversight (like house managers or staff), regular testing, rules preventing substance use, and peer enforcement. Safety also covers emotional safety—homes that minimize triggering exposure, provide respectful, supportive culture, often specialized for populations with specific sensitivities (like LGBTQ+).
