About Sunlight Sober Living

Sunlight Sober Living is located in the bustling city of Austin to help integrate residents into their community. When men decide to live at Sunlight, they are required to go through an intake process to help ensure they are a good fit. Upon joining the “family” at Sunlight, each individual must commit to remaining clean and sober, and they will participate in drug screening bi-weekly. They must also attend 4 therapy sessions, 12-Step meetings, church services or meditation sessions per week. Additionally, the residents are required to obtain a job within 30 days of living at Sunlight.
Becoming involved in the Austin community is a top priority for all residents living at Sunlight. The city of Austin is filled to the brim with recovery centers, 12-Step meetings and places of worship, making it easier to maintain sobriety. Residents are also encouraged to immerse themselves in the city’s culture, rather than separate themselves from it. Austin has endless opportunities for live music, outdoor activities and good food that can be enjoyed in a new way for residents.
Navigating a new lifestyle does not come without its challenges, so Sunlight offers an advocacy program that is much like having a mentor. Each resident has different needs, so the amount of time spent with their advocate will vary. Each resident’s advocate is available for emergency calls and texts. They also help communicate the resident’s progress with their family, creating accountability.

How do I start treatment at Sunlight Sober Living?
Call the facility directly at (203) 339-5308 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
