What Is a Sober Living Home?
Sober living homes, or transitional living homes, are places where people in recovery can live without substances. They help individuals build a healthy lifestyle while getting support for their recovery. These homes are ideal for people who need a safe, stable place to live after completing drug or alcohol rehab.
In a sober living environment, residents follow house rules, contribute to daily routines, and support one another in sobriety. Unlike inpatient rehab, sober living allows more freedom while maintaining a structure that promotes personal growth and accountability.
At Nova, our sister organization, Eudaimonia Recovery Homes, operates our San Antonio-based transitional living program. This lets us offer high-quality, gender-specific housing in easy-to-reach places around the city. You can keep moving forward in your recovery with confidence.
Free, confidential, and there is no obligation. Most major insurance accepted.

Nova’s sober living homes are carefully designed to meet the unique needs of individuals in early recovery. We offer gender-specific residences with modern amenities, accountability structures, and easy access to local services. Each home includes:
- Fully furnished bedrooms (private or shared options available)
