Sober living in San Jose: what to expect
A sober living home (also called a sober living environment, or SLE) is a shared, alcohol- and drug-free house for people in recovery. In San Jose and the rest of Santa Clara County (Santa Clara, Campbell, Milpitas, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Morgan Hill and Gilroy), most homes are ordinary houses in residential neighborhoods run by an operator or a live-in house manager. Residents pay rent, usually between $900 and $2,000 a month, follow house rules (curfew, chores, meetings, drug testing) and support one another. There is no clinical treatment on site, which is why California does not license sober living homes the way it licenses treatment facilities.
Every listing on Sober San Jose shows the things people actually ask about: monthly rent, number of beds, whether the house is men's, women's or co-ed, the house rules, whether residents on medication-assisted treatment (methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone) are accepted, and a direct phone number for the house. There are no referral fees in either direction.
If you need a bed today or are still in active use, start with treatment first. Santa Clara County's substance use access line is Santa Clara County Behavioral Health Services — (800) 704-0900 · 24/7 call center. The SAMHSA National Helpline (1-800-662-4357) is free, confidential and open around the clock. More local and national resources →
Questions people ask about sober living in San Jose
What is a sober living home?
A sober living environment (SLE) is a shared, drug- and alcohol-free house for people in recovery. Residents pay rent, follow house rules (curfews, chores, meetings, drug testing) and support each other. It is not a treatment facility — there is no clinical care on site.
How much does sober living cost in San Jose?
Most homes in the area charge somewhere between $900 and $2,000 per month, usually including utilities and sometimes food. Many require the first month up front; some accept partial payments or scholarships.
Do I need to be in treatment to move in?
It depends on the house. Some require you to be enrolled in outpatient treatment or attending meetings; others just require sobriety and a commitment to the house rules. Check each listing.
Do sober living homes accept MAT (methadone, Suboxone, Vivitrol)?
Some do, some don't. Every listing on this site shows whether the house accepts residents on medication-assisted treatment. Use the MAT filter to narrow it down.
How do I get my house listed?
Listing is free. Fill out the form on the List Your Home page and we will review and post it, usually within a few days.
