About Island House
Island House, one of AZ Sober Living’s many locations, is a high-quality sober living residence for men in Gilbert, Arizona. It was established by Wade Muhlhauser, who faced addiction and recovery firsthand, and it focuses on offering a stable, encouraging setting for people working toward long-term sobriety. The center’s goal is to help residents rebuild their lives and gradually return to their communities, supported by a strong basis for lasting recovery.
Island House provides several resources to assist residents throughout their rehabilitation process. The home includes comfortable furnishings, large flat-screen TVs, a welcoming pool area, and popular streaming options such as Netflix and HBO Max. Residents may also use remote-access computers, take advantage of optional gym memberships, and join planned group activities like sober volleyball, softball, and bowling leagues. The program encourages involvement in nearby 12-step meetings and supports independence by providing convenient access to public transportation. Accountability is reinforced through weekly drug testing, breathalyzer checks, regular house meetings, and chore responsibilities.
The overall model at Island House balances structure with a comfortable home environment, aiming to make the shift to a sober lifestyle as smooth as possible. The residence is situated in a calm neighborhood while still being close to shops and restaurants for everyday convenience.
