  • Proprietary methods

    We offer a supportive, gender-specific sober living environment for men.While living at a HSH sober living home, you’ll have the support and encouragement of a solid group of men in recovery. This type of community living can help you get through the difficult challenges of early recovery. Having a social circle full of good influences during this stage of your sobriety reduces isolation and improves your chances of staying sober long-term.

  • High efficiency

    Our programming is centered around your recovery and aims to assist you as you mold your life into one that is characterized by integrity, good character, and self-awareness. We want you to be proud of the life you live. This is achieved by modifying your thoughts and actions to consistently live a life of sobriety and wellness.Early recovery can be a very difficult time. You may experience strong emotions you have not felt while sober yet, and you may also face difficult life changes, such as starting a new job or dealing with the death of a loved one. The structure provided by our sober living homes helps you establish new, healthy routines that will decrease anxiety, cravings, and procrastination despite the changes taking place all around you.

I’ve been to a few recovery programs before, but none compare to Houston Serenity House. The staff truly cares, the house rules hold you accountable, and the recovery programs—especially the 12-step and SMART—are life-changing. I appreciated the weekly check-ins and the support with job hunting. It’s not just about getting sober—it’s about building a new life. If you’re ready to work, this place gives you every tool to succeed.

As a family member of someone struggling with addiction, I can say that Houston Serenity House brought us hope when we needed it most. Their strict no-narcotics policy, strong focus on personal responsibility, and supportive community gave my brother the environment he needed to heal. The blend of 12-step, SMART Recovery, and Christ-centered options makes it feel personalized and inclusive. Watching him grow, find work, and finally feel proud of himself again has been an incredible gift.

I found more than sobriety at Houston Serenity House—I found a second chance. The structure, support, and community are unlike anywhere else. The house feels like a family, and the programs actually work. Whether it’s learning to meditate or just talking to someone who’s been there, this place gave me my life back. Highly recommend.
