Somewhere stable to go after treatment
A structured sober living home is substance-free housing where people in recovery live together under house rules, peer accountability and drug testing, after treatment and before living independently.
Leaving a rehab center for a household that is not sober undoes a lot of what treatment built. It raises stress, puts the old triggers back within reach, and makes relapse likelier.
In a sober home, residents practice the skills that keep them sober: healthy routines, responsibility and the ordinary life experience that early recovery interrupts. Staying off substances is only one piece of it.

Ask about cost on the call. Transitional living is priced to be affordable, not to be a second program.
What a Eudaimonia home gives you
Nova’s sister company, Eudaimonia Recovery Homes, provides the transitional housing in Texas, Colorado and Pennsylvania. It is the bridge between rehab and living independently.
Every home runs recovery support services on a step-by-step program that keeps residents accountable, and it is set to the needs of the person rather than the house.
-
Robust recovery support services
Supportive sober living with monitoring, routines, and resources for employment and education.
-
A safe environment
Safe, substance-free homes for people who have finished addiction treatment, which is what minimizes both relapse risk and the stress that drives it.
-
Good amenities
Clean, welcoming houses with modern amenities. Comfort is not a luxury here; it is part of why people stay long enough for the program to work.
-
Convenient locations
Homes for men and women placed safely, near shops and public transport, so residents can get to work and to meetings without a car.
Wondering whether sober living comes before or after what you are doing now?
Most people move into it straight from residential treatment. The call works out your order.
Where the homes are
Eudaimonia runs sober living in five cities across three states. Each one has its own house rules, its own community and its own waiting list: see every Nova location.

Cost, and where it sits in the continuum
Two questions come up more than any others on the call about sober living. These are the honest answers to both.
-
What it costs
Houses and apartments with real amenities, priced to be affordable. Transitional living is a key part of long-term recovery, so we work to keep it within reach. Our admissions team can talk you through the cost of Eudaimonia’s programs now.

How it differs from residential treatment
Residential treatment is an intensive, structured program where you live at a licensed facility and get daily clinical care: therapy, counseling and medical support addressing the causes of addiction. Sober living usually comes after it, and is a substance-free house where you live more independently while house rules, peer support and drug testing hold the accountability. Most people move from one into the other.
Not sure which of the two you need?
If you are leaving treatment, it is usually both, in that order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sober living home?
A sober living residence is a facility for individuals overcoming addiction. People also refer to it as a sober house or a halfway house. Looking for options nearby? Explore our halfway house in Houston for gender‑specific, structured recovery housing. In these homes, residents live together without using drugs or alcohol. These homes offer support through routines, peer help, and accountability. This often includes random drug tests, curfews, and recovery meetings. These measures help residents move from rehab to independent living.
How does sober living help prevent relapse?
Sober living homes offer stability in early recovery by removing triggers present in former living environments. The structured setting, along with regular routines and support from peers, helps build new habits. This reduces stress that might cause a relapse. Eudaimonia Recovery Homes also provides recovery support services and programming to reinforce sobriety while residents learn responsibility and life skills.
What services and structure do sober living homes offer?
Many sober living homes operate on a step-by-step accountability model. They include mandatory chores, house meetings, drug/alcohol testing, peer support, and guidance toward employment or education. Some facilities even offer on‑site outpatient services or clinical oversight.
How much does sober living cost in Texas or Colorado Springs?
Costs vary by region, but transitional housing typically provides affordable options compared to inpatient treatment. Nova/Eudaimonia works to keep pricing reasonable and offers guidance on financial considerations. If you’d like exact figures, their admissions team can provide current rates.
What makes a facility a legitimate sober living option?
Legitimate sober living homes usually belong to known groups or networks. They have clear rules and expectations. These homes also provide a substance-free environment. They may also partner with licensed rehab centers to offer enhanced recovery services. Facilities that offer structured daily life and accountability are more effective in improving long-term sobriety outcomes.
Are there gender-specific sober living homes?
Yes. Many sober living environments, including Eudaimonia Recovery Homes, provide residences that are gender-specific. They support men and women in a safe, respectful, and substance-free community.
How long should someone stay in a sober home?
Many experts suggest staying for at least 30 to 90 days. This time helps build routines, strengthen coping skills, and ease into independent living. Extended stays can be beneficial, especially when combined with outpatient programs or continued support groups.
Can families get involved with sober living support?
Yes. Many programs, including those affiliated with Nova Recovery Center, encourage family involvement. This may include family sessions or workshops. These help loved ones understand recovery goals. They also teach how to provide support while respecting boundaries.
What's the difference between residential treatment and sober living facilities?
Residential treatment is an intensive, live-in clinical program with daily therapy and medical support to treat addiction directly. Sober living is substance-free supportive housing, typically after treatment, where residents live more independently while following house rules, peer accountability, and drug testing. Residential treatment delivers active clinical care; sober living supports the transition back to daily life, and the two are often used in sequence.
