THIS IS
NOT YOUR
TYPICAL SOBER
LIVING HOME
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
It can be said with almost total certainty that Hensley House has the lowest relapse rate and the longest average length of stay of any sober living home in Texas.
Read that again and let it sink in.
Guys love it here. Once they become a member of Hensley House, they do not want to leave.
At Hensley House, we are not just another sober living home, we are a brotherhood built on purpose, connection, and fun. And it shows. The friendships run deep, the energy is contagious, and the sense of belonging is real.
This is not a stop gap, a halfway house, or even close to a typical transitional living environment, it is a lifestyle.
A place where men rediscover who they are, build friendships that last, and learn how to live, really live, in recovery.
We build sober gentlemen with integrity who take their sobriety seriously and have a blast in the process.
At Hensley House, nobody is counting the days until they can leave.
They are too busy enjoying life sober.
FOR RESIDENTS
At Hensley Recovery, boredom doesn’t stand a chance.
From a full garage gym and game rooms with ping pong and pool tables to pools, cold plunges, and a sauna, we keep recovery active, social, and fun.
Residents get access to free outings like skydiving, Longhorn games, paintball, and even epic hunting trips that build connection, confidence, and unforgettable memories.
Because here, recovery isn’t about what you give up, it’s about everything you gain.

FOR LOVED ONES
Recovery doesn’t end when treatment does, it’s where real life begins.
Hensley House bridges that gap, giving your loved one a safe, structured launching pad built for long-term sobriety and personal growth.
Here, accountability meets community, and support turns into brotherhood. We don’t just help men stay sober, we help them build lives they’re proud of.
This is sober living that actually works.
Prepare to rest easy at night, Lord knows you deserve it.
