About 180 House – Abilene
180 House is a transitional living home in Abilene, Texas. They welcome court-ordered and voluntary adults seeking a sober environment to continue their recovery journey. You’ll benefit from a safe living space with affordable weekly rates. Whether you’re stepping down from another level of care or starting recovery you’ll benefit from ongoing support and encouragement.
Their program creates a balance of structure and independence to support you in your journey. They emphasize accountability and help you understand how your choices will benefit or hinder recovery. You’ll have multiple house rules including attending daily recovery meetings and adhering to a curfew as well as paying rent on time and finding employment and more. You can also receive outpatient services at Serenity House during your stay.
One standout feature is their location. You’ll live in a modest home with single and double occupancy rooms and an outdoor space as well as common areas and a gym. Although Abilene is a smaller city its recovery community is bustling. You’ll benefit from multiple options for peer support groups and other recovery activities. They’re also close to several employment opportunities and public transportation.
I also think their blend of autonomy and discipline is noteworthy. Along with following the rules they also require community service if you’re unemployed. You’ll participate in 10 hours of food bank duties or organization or perhaps help out with special events or stock. These tasks can help you understand the significance of maintaining responsibilities. As you progress in their program you gain more freedom. They allow overnight privileges after a period of time and have a decent curfew of 12:30 a.m. on weekdays and 1:00 a.m. on weekends.
Many previous clients appreciated their services. Some described them as a wonderful place for a fresh start and enjoyed their simple approach and compassionate staff. Others mentioned issues with cleanliness and unprofessionalism.
Recovery looks different for everyone. What someone finds beneficial in treatment might not work for you. Always research and consider different facilities before making your choice.
