Collinfield Sober Living Home Austin
The Collinfield home is the original ACTS Recovery Homes location, open since December 2007. If you’re looking for structured sober living in Austin, TX, for men or women, this is where ACTS started, and it’s still one of the strongest recovery communities we operate. Call us anytime at (512) 900-5711, or apply online. We answer 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The Collinfield home runs the same program as all five ACTS homes. Meeting attendance is required. A sponsor relationship is required. Employment or active job searching is required. The structure is the same here as it is at every ACTS location because it is what produces lasting sobriety.
About the Collinfield Home
The Collinfield home sits in a quiet, established residential neighborhood in Austin, TX, close to employment centers, close to AA and NA meetings, and within easy reach of the resources that make early recovery sustainable. The neighborhood has been home to the ACTS community for nearly two decades. Residents walk out the front door into a part of Austin, TX that has everything early recovery requires: proximity to work, access to meetings, and a community that understands what they’re doing there.
This home serves both men and women in recovery. It’s a furnished, community-style house with private rooms, a shared kitchen and dining space, on-site laundry, and Wi-Fi throughout. The home is clean, well-maintained, and run to a standard that reflects how seriously we take the recovery process. You bring your commitment. The home provides the structure and the community.
The Collinfield home has hosted more residents over more years than any other ACTS location. The peer community here has real depth. Residents who’ve been through it sit alongside those who just arrived. That mix, the shared experience, the accountability, the genuine community, is something a newer home can’t replicate.
There’s a reason residents return to visit the Collinfield home long after they’ve moved on to independent living. The friendships built here tend to be real and lasting. The home group connections made through the Austin, TX, AA and NA community during a stay here often become a resident’s longest-running support network. That’s the measure of whether sober living actually worked, and the Collinfield home has been producing that outcome since 2007.
House Program and Expectations
Every resident at the Collinfield home agrees to the same expectations on arrival. These aren’t negotiable, and they’re the same across all five ACTS homes:
- All residents must be working or actively searching for work
- Regular AA or NA meeting attendance is required from day one
- An active sponsor relationship is required, not just having a name, but working the steps
- Random drug and alcohol screenings apply to everyone, no exceptions
- Curfew is in effect for all residents
- Residents contribute to maintaining the household, shared responsibilities, and shared community
The structure isn’t punitive. It’s the framework that early sobriety depends on. Most residents who come through the Collinfield home say the expectations felt restrictive in the first few weeks and essential by month two. The residents who commit fully are the ones who leave with their lives genuinely rebuilt. Those who resist the structure are usually the ones who leave early, and leave without what they came for.
Employment is one of the most important parts of the program. Financial stability removes one of the most common relapse triggers in early sobriety. Having somewhere to be every morning provides structure that extends beyond the house. The Collinfield home’s location makes it accessible to employment across Austin, TX.
The 12-Step Foundation
The 12-Step program is the non-negotiable foundation of the Collinfield home. Meeting attendance, a sponsor, and active step work are requirements, not recommendations. Understanding our full program before you call will help you know whether this is the right environment for your recovery.
Austin, TX, has one of the strongest AA and NA communities in Texas. The Collinfield home’s location puts residents within easy reach of that community. Most new residents find their home group within the first week. Many make some of their longest-lasting friendships through that community. The meetings, the sponsors, the step work, all of it happens in the context of a real, active, longstanding recovery community.
Step work is where the real internal work happens. Sitting with a sponsor and moving through the steps honestly is what separates residents who stay sober from those who don’t. We’ve watched this pattern across nearly two decades at this home. The residents who fully complete the step work are the ones who come back to visit years later.

Residents are responsible for their own food and personal expenses. The home is clean and well-maintained. What it provides is structure, community, and proximity to the Austin, TX recovery network. Those three things form the foundation of the daily work of staying sober, and the Collinfield home has provided them since December 2007.
Is the program the same as at other ACTS homes?
Yes. Every ACTS home runs the same program: required AA or NA meeting attendance, an active sponsor relationship, step work, employment or active job searching, random drug screening, and curfew. The expectations are identical across all five homes. What differs is the community each house builds over time. The Collinfield home, as our original location, has the deepest community history of any ACTS home. That means more residents with more time in recovery, and a peer accountability culture that has had years to develop.
How long has the Collinfield home been operating?
The Collinfield home opened in December 2007 and has operated continuously since. It’s the longest-running ACTS location and the original home from which the rest of the ACTS network grew. Mike Archer, our owner, has been personally involved with this home since day one. That continuity matters. It means the program has been refined over nearly two decades of watching what works and what doesn’t.
