About Pivot Transitional Living
Pivot Recovery Living is a structured sober living program for young men in Tucson, Arizona. Designed specifically for adolescents, young adults, and college-age residents, Pivot offers a phased approach that helps each individual grow in independence while staying grounded in recovery. Residents live on age-specific campuses, starting in a highly supportive environment and moving toward more freedom as they develop the skills and confidence to live on their own.
The program blends clinical care and peer support, combining regular therapy sessions with mentorship from staff members who are also in recovery. From day one, residents are immersed in 12-Step work, attending meetings, getting sponsors, and becoming active in the broader recovery community. Life at Pivot also includes help with school, work, and life skills. Residents can re-enroll in high school or college, prepare for jobs, and learn practical things like budgeting, time management, and healthy habits.
For those pursuing higher education, Pivot offers a dedicated Collegiate Recovery Program. Residents in this track live just minutes from the University of Arizona and Pima Community College and receive structured academic support alongside their recovery work. The program includes weekly advising, tutoring, and study halls to help students stay on track academically while staying connected to their recovery. With built-in accountability, gym memberships, and a strong peer community, the college program is designed to help students thrive both in the classroom and in sobriety.
Pivot operates 3 thoughtfully designed campuses in central Tucson, each tailored to the needs of a specific age group. The Adolescent Transitional Campus spans three peaceful acres beneath the Santa Catalina Mountains, offering structure and support for teens. The Transitional Living Campus is a private, courtyard-style complex where young men begin taking college classes, working, or volunteering. College-aged residents live at the Collegiate Recovery Campus, an expansive estate built by architect Josias Joesler—featuring a chef’s kitchen, entertainment spaces, and quiet study areas ideal for academic success in sobriety.
Tucson’s warm, sunny setting plays a big role in the recovery process. With easy access to outdoor adventures and a thriving recovery community, residents have the space and support to rebuild their lives. Pivot is a great option for young men who are ready to commit to recovery in a place that feels structured, empowering, and connected.
