What is Professional Sober Living?
Most sober living is a bed and a rule sheet. We built something with a higher standard.
Professional management.
Our house manager is a professional, not the typical peer in a bed — over 20 years in the field, counseling and case management experience, living on site full time.
Selective acceptance.
We interview every applicant and we turn people away. If someone needs a higher level of care, we say so instead of filling the bed.
Airtight, tech-enabled operations.
We built the resident management software the house runs on. Meetings, testing, and check-ins are all tracked and verified.
All of it serves one purpose: recovery is in the air. Everything under this roof points at it.
01
Recovery is in the air.
Consistent stability, shared responsibility, and group support.
Structure
Mandatory 90 meetings in 90 days, logged by each resident. Curfew is 10pm on weeknights and 12am on weekends, and beds are made every morning.
Accountability
Every resident is drug tested at least once a week and the result is recorded by the house manager in Sobriety Hub, along with meeting attendance and mood and check in reflections on recovery progress.
Professional guidance
A top tier house manager living onsite. Management and owners maintain proficiency in addiction recovery.
A serious recovery culture
Living together means growth happens in the small moments — a conflict over dishes, a bad day, someone sharing at the table. No TVs in bedrooms. No gaming. Residents working as soon as they're able. Guys are out in the world and present in the house, not hiding in a room.

Under new leadership
Dutton House is now run by Clay Canfield and Griffin Greene, two men in recovery.
Established in 2017, Dutton House entered a new chapter under Clay and Griffin. They live the program themselves, keep the standards high, and stay close to the day to day of the house.
Clay Canfield
Seven years in recovery, with years before Dutton House working as a recovery house manager. He runs the house with hands-on care.
Griffin Greene
Two years in recovery and a former recovery house resident himself. He keeps that perspective close in how new residents are welcomed and supported.
Michael Ganther
House Manager
Michael has 21 years in recovery and nearly a decade managing recovery homes. He has directed counseling and referral for the Houston Regional Council on Alcoholism and Drug Addiction, led school and treatment outreach in Houston and Austin, practiced individual and group psychotherapy, and founded two AA groups and the HeartFire retreats. As house manager he handles the day-to-day of Dutton House: drug testing, check-ins, curfew, and the steady presence that keeps the house running well.

Sober living in Austin: common questions
A few of the things people most often ask before reaching out.
- What is sober living?
- A sober living home is a shared house for people in early recovery: house rules, drug and alcohol testing, and a structure that makes staying sober easier than relapsing. Residents work or go to school, attend meetings, and practice normal life — paying rent, showing up, handling conflict. Most stay three to twelve months.
- How is sober living different from treatment?
- Treatment treats the condition with licensed clinicians. Sober living is where you live while you learn to stay sober without a clinical team around you. It doesn't detox you or provide therapy, and in Texas it isn't state licensed. Many men do both: treatment first, then sober living while attending outpatient groups or meetings.
- What should I look for in an Austin sober house?
- One test matters most: when someone uses, does the house know within days and act on it? Ask whether the manager lives on site, how often testing happens and what follows a positive result, what the meeting and curfew requirements are, and whether they interview applicants and ever say no. Visit before you commit.
- Who is Dutton House for?
- Dutton House is a men's sober living residence in the North Loop / Hyde Park area, Austin, designed for working professional men committed to long-term recovery. Most residents are stepping down from treatment or bringing a 90-in-90 mindset to their next chapter of sobriety.
- How much does it cost?
- $1,250 per month plus a one-time $250 move-in fee. Single rooms are available upon request. Most Austin sober living runs $1,000 to $1,500 a month for a shared room; price mostly tracks staffing and structure. Sober living is private pay and is not billed through insurance.
- What are the requirements to move in?
- Residents commit to sobriety, active participation in a recovery program, house meetings, drug and alcohol testing through Sobriety Hub, and respectful conduct with housemates. Employment or a clear path to it is expected.
