Dear Continuity of Care Coordinator,

The Rough House is a newer offering in North Austin that is a men’s post-treatment sober living. We are fortunate to have an Executive Director, Solis Rough with nearly 4-decades clean and sober. Under his administration, he is personally managing the day-to-day operations. This can help you be assured that this isn’t a typical sober living. With extensive management experience backed up by a great deal of sponsoring, speaking, and experience your client is moving to a home with a high-quality content and offerings including weekly meetings with a Recovery Support Peer Specialist, Spiritual Counseling with a Pastor, assistance in career development and resume building. While we specialize in LGBTQ clients including those transitioning from female to male, we serve all clients with the same equitable and serious approach to putting together the building blocks of a sober living life and lifestyle.

Clients will have a weekly Sunday house meeting and fellowship dinner where we will discuss respect and consideration for others and resolution for the challenges that can arise in communal living. Our Executive Director has extensive experience with 12 years in the U.S Navy, Retired from the University of California as Director of Student Services Department, and most recently Retired from the University of Texas as an Executive Assistant and Administrative Staff Manager for the Counseling & Mental Health Center.

Incorporating lessons from each of those experiences clients will receive the benefits of discipline as it relates to completing the necessary tasks each day to encourage and ensure sobriety, with an eye on self-care, mental health care, mediation, benefits of developing friendships, breathing workshops, meditative massage and incorporating a 12-step approach that isn’t so rigid it doesn’t leave room for other methodologies of approaching a sober life. You can make an appointment for an intake discussion, or phone/text Solis Rough (512-666-7825) if you have need of urgent placement. Thank you for your consideration of The Rough House…. Solis Rough, Pastor, RSPS, Executive Director
