Structured Sober Living Designed for Long-Term Recovery
A Structured Path to Long-Term Sobriety
Gambit Recovery operates structured, affordable sober living homes across Arizona, California, Washington, and Missouri.
We help men and women in early recovery transition out of treatment, detox, or unstable environments and into a safe, supportive, accountable home where real change can take root.
Recovery succeeds when three things are in place:
Structure
Support
Connection
That combination is what transforms early sobriety into a life that is stable, meaningful, and sustainable.
A Safe Environment for Real Change
Many people leaving treatment return to the same toxic environments, familiar triggers, and destructive influences that fueled their addiction. At Gambit Recovery, we recognize that:
Willpower alone isn’t enough—environment matters.
A sober home should feel like a home, not a restriction.
Our sober living homes provide a true home-like atmosphere, fostering confidence, respect, and empowerment in early sobriety.
Gambit Recovery is a nationwide recovery housing provider offering structured, affordable, peer-supported sober living for adults rebuilding their lives in early recovery. We operate homes in Arizona, California, Washington, and Missouri, with a focus on accountability, community, integrity, and practical daily routines that support long-term sobriety.
Why Gambit Recovery Works
Most relapses don’t happen because people “want to fail.”
They happen because people return to environments filled with:
Old triggers
Unstable people
Emotional chaos
Lack of accountability
Gambit Recovery changes the environment so residents finally have the conditions to succeed:
A sober home that feels like a home
Consistent structure
Clear expectations
Support from people who understand
A community moving in the same direction
Willpower alone isn't enough — environment matters.
Accountability & Structure (What You Can Expect)
Sobriety is more than not drinking or using. It’s rebuilding how you live.
Every Gambit Recovery home follows the same structured framework:
Daily & Weekly Expectations
Drug & alcohol testing
Required attendance at a 12-step or equivalent recovery meeting
Participation in weekly house meetings
Completion of chores and weekly deep clean
Employment, job search, or volunteer engagement
Respect for curfews and house expectations
Support We Provide
Guidance on job searches and financial stability
Support for legal obligations or court requirements
Peer accountability and community integration
Healthy routines and real-life structure
Opportunities for personal growth, confidence, and leadership
We don’t promise perfection — we expect effort.
Residents who show up, follow structure, and lean into support do well here.
Navigating Life Without Relapse
Early sobriety comes with real challenges:
Court dates
Financial stress
Job searching
Family rebuilding
Mental and emotional ups and downs
Instead of facing these alone, residents learn to:
Build sustainable routines
Problem-solve with support
Communicate honestly
Handle stress without using
Take responsibility without shame
Move forward even when life gets complicated
People grow here because they are guided, supported, and held accountable, not enabled.

Addiction is isolating. Recovery shouldn’t be.

Our homes offer:
A judgment-free place to rebuild
Friendships based on honesty and shared experience

When people feel supported, connected, and seen — they thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have completed treatment to move in?
No. While many of our residents come from detox or inpatient, it’s not a requirement. If you're ready to live sober and follow structure, you're welcome. Every resident must be drug- and alcohol-free upon entry, willing to participate, and able to follow house rules.
Where are your sober living homes located?
Gambit Recovery currently operates structured sober living homes in Arizona, California, Missouri, and Washington, with new locations coming soon. Every home follows the same high standards of accountability, structure, and community-based support to ensure a consistent recovery experience—no matter the state.
Is Gambit Recovery co-ed?
No, Gambit Recovery does not operate co-ed sober living homes. All of our locations in Arizona, California, Washington, and Missouri are gender-specific — with separate housing for men and women. This approach helps create a safer, more focused environment where residents can concentrate fully on their recovery journey.
Can Gambit Recovery help me find a job or rebuild financially?
Yes. Gambit Recovery supports residents in finding employment, managing finances, and building long-term independence. Many of our participants work full-time while living in our structured sober living homes, and we provide the guidance and accountability needed to help them get back on solid ground—both personally and financially.
Are there curfews and rules?
Yes. Structure is a core part of what makes Gambit Recovery effective. Our sober living homes in Arizona, California, Missouri, and Washington all have curfews, required recovery meetings, drug and alcohol testing, and weekly responsibilities like house chores. These elements create accountability, promote safety, and help residents build healthy routines in early recovery.
What does the weekly fee cover?
Our weekly rate includes more than just a bed. It covers housing, utilities, structured sober living support, on-site UA/BA testing (we never bill insurance), recovery-focused programming, peer guidance, and access to community activities.
Residents are responsible for their own food, personal hygiene products, and clothing. This model keeps our sober living homes in Arizona, California, Washington, and Missouri affordable while maintaining a high standard of structure and accountability.
