Chittim House, Men's Sober Living in San Antonio
Chittim House is Drew’s Sober Living’s flagship recovery residence in San Antonio, Texas. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, Chittim was the first house Drew opened, and the property where every policy, every rule, and every standard in the program was built. Daily drug and alcohol screening. A 30-hour weekly work requirement. A live-in house manager. The accountability-based sober living program that Drew started here.
Drew’s Sober Living is a structured recovery residence and does not provide clinical treatment or medical services.
What Chittim House Offers Men in Recovery
Chittim House sits in a quiet San Antonio neighborhood with direct access to employment, 12-step meetings, and recovery resources across the city. Drew built Chittim first because he needed a sober living home that matched what he believed recovery actually required: daily accountability, not weekly check-ins.
Chittim House provides furnished bedrooms, shared living areas, full kitchen access, laundry, and linens. A live-in house manager, a man in long-term recovery, lives on-site and upholds the same program every day. The environment is drug-free, structured, and built around one priority: keeping men accountable while they rebuild independent lives.
As Drew’s flagship property, Chittim House set the standard that Evergreen House and Chapel Bend were built to match.
The Daily Program at Chittim House
Every day at Chittim House follows the same structured sober living program Drew designed from lived experience.
Morning begins with drug and alcohol screening, every resident, every day. After testing, the house meets for an accountability check-in where each man reports on recovery goals, employment progress, and personal challenges. By mid-morning, residents leave for work, school, or vocational training to meet the 30-hour weekly requirement.
Afternoons include sponsor meetings, personal development time, and house responsibilities. Evenings bring a required 12-step meeting followed by group reflection. Financial literacy training, covering budgeting, saving, and credit rebuilding, runs as part of the ongoing program.
Any positive or refused test results in immediate discharge in accordance with house policy. The live-in house manager upholds every expectation consistently. The program at Chittim House is the same program running at every Drew’s Sober Living property, because this is where it started.
