About Recovery Avenue
Recovery Avenue is a sober living home in Sacramento, California that provides men residents with a safe, substance-free place to live during early recovery. Like other quality recovery residences, a sober living home is built around three things that research consistently ties to lasting recovery: stable, drug- and alcohol-free housing, peer support from others who understand what early sobriety feels like, and structure and accountability that help rebuild healthy daily routines. Residents here have access to MAT-friendly, Drug testing, and 12-step focused.
What to expect living here
Most structured sober living homes ask residents to stay substance-free, attend recovery meetings, submit to random drug and alcohol testing, follow a curfew, complete household chores, and either work, attend school, or actively look for a job. These expectations aren't there to be punitive — they're the scaffolding that keeps a house safe and gives residents the consistency that protects early sobriety. When you contact Recovery Avenue, ask them to walk you through their specific house rules, curfew, guest policy, and how long a typical stay lasts so you know exactly what you're agreeing to.
What does sober living cost in Sacramento?

The exact figure usually depends on whether you choose a private or shared room and which services are included, so confirm the current rate when you call.
