How Our Sober Living in Austin, Texas Supports Addiction Recovery
Getting sober is a big achievement, but staying on track takes ongoing support. Our sober living homes address the critical needs of early recovery: housing, employment, community, accountability, and a sense of purpose. The lack of a stable and substance-free environment can derail recovery, even for those who are highly determined to stay sober. [1]
A sober living home provides a drug-free and alcohol-free space with a built-in support system. It can be a valuable steppingstone for individuals transitioning out of a treatment program.
Here are some key benefits of sober living apartments and houses:
Studies have found that positive peer pressure and social support around drug and alcohol abstinence can have a positive effect on a person’s long term sobriety. Individuals who have support networks with a high number of sober individuals and peers in recovery have been shown to have better outcomes in the years following addiction treatment. [1]
Humans are biologically wired to function in groups and want to establish a sense of belonging in those groups. When individuals in recovery surround themselves with friends and family members who are sober or who support their sober lifestyle, they have a lower chance of relapsing or reverting to old, unhealthy patterns and coping mechanisms. Sober homes provide this type of healthy support system and recovery community, which can help create a firm foundation for lasting sobriety.
Sober environments like Infinite Recovery’s sober living homes provide an additional layer of accountability for those recovering from substance use disorders. Residents are tested regularly for any drugs or alcohol in their system, and sobriety is a condition of living in the home. A dedicated house manager ensures that residents are following guidelines and maintaining a sober environment.
Residents in sober homes also share close quarters with peers who can recognize the signs of drug and alcohol use. This provides a level of accountability but also one of support. Newly sober individuals sometimes feel that they can be best understood by other addicts.
Following inpatient addiction treatment, an individual may be unclear about their next steps regarding their living situation, employment, or close relationships. During the process of becoming sober, they may have identified that some situations (such as their family environment) are not helpful to their sobriety or might be enabling addictive behavior. Early sobriety is often a time of transition and of creating new habits, lifestyles and relationships that support sobriety. Because of this, a sober living home provides a convenient and stable resting place for those who are figuring out their next step.

The Difference Between Sober Living and a Halfway House
Sober living homes and halfway houses both provide transitional housing and substance-free environments, but there are key differences.
Halfway houses are often government-funded, while sober homes are privately funded through residents’ rent.
Halfway houses may also limit the length of time a person can stay and require that residents be enrolled in a formal treatment program. [1]
Unlike sober homes, halfway houses are not just for those recovering from a substance use disorder. They can also provide accommodations for individuals with mental health conditions, those recovering from psychiatric breaks, or people with criminal backgrounds, including those who have been recently incarcerated.
