At The Sonoran House, we operate as a Member-Managed Community, which means every resident plays an active role in maintaining the home, creating structure, and supporting the recovery environment.

At The Sonoran House, we operate as a Member-Managed Community, which means every resident plays an active role in maintaining the home, creating structure, and supporting the recovery environment. This approach builds responsibility, accountability, confidence, and essential life skills — all of which are key to long-term sobriety.
What “Member-Managed” Means
Residents actively participate in the day-to-day functioning of the home, including:
• House Responsibilities & Chores
Each member is assigned weekly responsibilities to keep the home clean, organized, and safe.
• Community Accountability
Members help maintain a respectful environment by upholding house expectations, sobriety requirements, and supportive communication.
• Participating in House Meetings
Weekly meetings ensure all voices are heard, concerns are addressed, and the community stays aligned.
• Peer Support & Encouragement
Residents support one another through encouragement, conflict resolution, and shared accountability.
• Personal Goal Setting
Each member creates individual recovery and life goals, with the community offering motivation along the way.
Benefits of a Member-Managed Model
• Builds independence and responsibility
• Encourages teamwork, communication, and trust
• Strengthens recovery through healthy routines
• Helps residents develop real-world life skills
• Creates a safe, stable, empowered community
Staff Role
While The Sonoran House is member-managed, professional oversight is still provided to ensure structure, safety, and adherence to policies. Staff guide the home’s standards, support residents, and step in when needed, while still allowing members to grow in independence.
Empowering Women Through Community
This model ensures every woman feels valued, included, and capable. Together, members create a home that supports recovery, stability, and a strong foundation for the future.
