A program of Empower Next Project
Sober Living Directory is a program of Empower Next Project, a registered non-profit (EIN 39-3580172). Treatment offers structure — but it doesn't provide income or housing. Empower Next Project works to empower individuals, inform communities, and act to support healthier futures for people leaving treatment.
Through Empower Next Steps, they fund sober-living scholarships for people in early recovery. This directory exists to connect people with safe housing — and to help homes reach those who need them.

It's the app for sober living homes and the people who live in them — track sober days, find meetings, pay membership fees, sign agreements, and run your home. Free for residents.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best sober living directory?
It depends on what you need. For homes certified to NARR standards, check your state’s NARR affiliate (listed at narronline.org) or our certified sober living pages, which group homes whose listing names a certification. For an Oxford House, use Oxford House’s vacancy site, oxfordvacancies.com. For a free, ad-free nationwide search, use Sober House Directory (soberhousedirectory.com), run by the non-profit Vanderburgh Foundation, which offers a map and filters for gender and certification, or Sober Living Directory: more than 10,000 homes of every kind (certified, Oxford House and independent) in all 50 states and DC, and you contact each home directly. For detox or rehab rather than housing, use FindTreatment.gov.
Is Sober Living Directory free to use?
Yes — completely free, with no ads. You can search every listing, see a home's details, and call its intake line directly at no cost. It's also free for homes to list.
How do I find a sober living home near me?
Search Sober Living Directory by city, state, or ZIP (homes in your state show first automatically) and filter by gender, MAT-friendly, pets, or price. Then call each home’s intake line directly to check availability, and ask about the cost and what it covers, the house rules (curfew, drug testing, meetings), and whether the home is certified by your state’s NARR affiliate; visit before you move in if you can. If you need detox or treatment first, use FindTreatment.gov or call SAMHSA’s free, confidential National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357.
How much does affordable sober living cost?
It varies widely. Among homes on Sober Living Directory that publish a price, most start under $1,000 a month and some under $500, while a few start at $1,500 or more. Where a home publishes a price we show it; otherwise call to ask, including whether it offers scholarships or sliding-scale rates.
What is a sober living home or recovery residence?
A safe, substance-free place to live alongside others in recovery, usually with peer support, house rules, and accountability. Many are certified by a state recovery-residence association (a NARR affiliate such as FARR, GARR, MASH, or CCAPP).
How do I get into a sober living home?
Call the home's intake line directly — the phone number is on its listing whenever the home has published one. They'll walk you through availability, cost, requirements, and move-in. You don't go through us.
Do you operate the homes listed here?
No. We're a free, ad-free directory that helps people find homes. Listings come from official sources (state NARR affiliates, Oxford House’s directory, operators’ own websites) and from homes that list themselves — always verify details directly with the home.
