Sober Living for Tempe, AZ Residents
Tempe clients don't have to go from finishing treatment straight back to a Mill Ave apartment or a dorm room. Sober living housing near our Mesa facility, about 25–30 minutes east of campus, gives them a step in between, with outpatient or IOP care continuing after the move.

Why Choose SOBA
Why Tempe Residents Choose Sober Living With Us
The people who come to us from Tempe range from ASU students to parents and working people well past college, and the main campus alone runs 79,818 students, most of them 18–24. Leaving treatment for an unstructured place to live can undo the ground treatment just built, so sober living adds a middle step: drug testing, house rules, a curfew, and room to keep attending ASU or working.
Clinical Note
A stable, substance-free place to live protects early recovery when going straight home would mean the same triggers on day one. Structure and accountability are what make that transition hold.

The Program
What Sober Living Looks Like
Sober living is structured, substance-free housing with accountability and peer support, often paired with PHP or IOP during the day. It bridges structured treatment and living independently, coordinated alongside your clinical team.
Physician-Led Clinical Care
Reyes Topete, MD, our medical director, oversees every level of care at SOBA. One family-owned clinical team has run the whole continuum since 2007, detox through aftercare, with no handoffs between separate providers.
The Distance Is the Point
The drive to Mesa isn't a detour from recovery; it's part of it. Real distance from the people, places, and routines tied to active use in Tempe is often what makes the early weeks hold, which is why our campus sits somewhere calm and private, with admissions open 24/7.
Getting Here
Getting to Sober Living from Tempe
The 25–30 minute drive from Tempe to our Mesa facility via US-60 works in a client's favor, putting distance between someone and the Mill Ave apartment or dorm hallway. Mesa also has one of the densest sober-living networks in metro Phoenix, roughly 65 sober homes plus about 10 Oxford Houses near Downtown Mesa and Dobson Ranch. Admissions runs 24/7, and clients can still attend AA's Tempe Group at Arizona Community Church. If this is a medical emergency, call 911.
