Find Sober Living in Texas
Certified recovery residences across Texas, through the state’s official directory
Free. No sign-up. No fees - ever.
Availability changes daily - always call to confirm
Sober living beds open and fill fast, and no website (including this one) can promise you a room. Use the directory below to find homes near you, then call the home directly and ask: "Do you have a bed open, and what do I need to do to get it?" If calling feels like too much right now, text me and I will help you work through it.
I’m Christopher Horne, a licensed health insurance broker. I keep this page because "search the internet and hope" is a terrible answer at the worst moment of someone’s life. For Texas, the right place to look is the directory run by the state’s own recovery-housing certifying body - so that is what this page points you to, along with the state helplines that answer around the clock.
How to read this page: Texas certifies recovery residences through the Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network (TROHN), Texas’s affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences (NARR). Homes in the TROHN directory are operated by organizations certified to those standards. This page is information only - it is not an endorsement, and I do not place people or guarantee admission to any home.
Want help making the calls? That part is free too.
Text RECOVERY to 954-787-9118 and I’ll send you these links and help you figure out which homes fit - men’s, women’s, your part of Texas - and I can sit on a three-way call with you while you talk to them. You don’t have to be my client. You don’t have to buy anything. This page exists to be used.

Before you call: questions worth asking
- Do you have a bed open today - and if not, is there a waitlist?
- What does it cost to move in, and what is due each week? (Prices change; get today’s number from the home, not a website.)
- What are the house rules - meetings, curfew, drug testing, guests?
- Are medications for addiction treatment (like Suboxone or methadone) allowed? Homes differ - ask directly.
- What happens if someone relapses? Get the answer in writing if you can.
- Can I see the agreement before I pay anything? Keep copies of everything you sign.
How insurance fits in
One short, honest note: under the Affordable Care Act, health plans cover substance-use treatment - detox, inpatient and outpatient programs, counseling, and medications - as an essential health benefit. If you live in Texas and want help checking what a plan would cover for treatment, that’s my day job and there’s no charge to ask. Text 954-787-9118 or see health insurance in Texas. The housing help on this page is free either way - it is never a condition of anything.
