____ ABOUT OAK HILL

Oak Hill Sober Living for Men is a facility that provides a safe and structured environment for the newly recovering alcoholic and addict. At Oak Hill, the residents are provided a drug and alcohol free living environment that promotes recovery. In this environment residents find support among themselves in developing a new outlook on life: learning how to deal with life as a sober and responsible member of society. Each week the members have peer meetings and support sessions to help in understanding their part in dealing with their recovery. House residents attend daily 12-step meetings, build a support group and learn to apply the 12-step recovery program to effectively deal with their chemical dependency problems.

Austin's Premiere Sober Living for Men

Oak Hill features a social model program. We emphasize family style structure and support. Our home cooked meals are prepared by the residents. We share meals mornings and evenings. At breakfast, we take time to share our plans and meditate together. This check in system promotes accountability as well as teaching the value of taking personal responsibility. Residents develop a positive support matrix by including in their plans residents, staff and other sober members.
