How Drugs and Alcohol Lead to Arrests in Texas- And How Christian Faith-Based Sober Living Helps Ex-Felons Rebuild Their Lives

Why Sobriety is the First Step to Freedom

By Transitional Housing Enterprises - Faith-Based Sober Living & Transitional Housing in Texas

When someone ends up in jail or prison here in Texas, there's usually more going on than a bad day or a bad attitude. More often than not, there's a deeper root. And in most cases? That root is drugs or alcohol.

In Texas, Substance Abuse and Incarceration Go Hand in Hand

In Texas, law enforcement agencies deal with tens of thousands of arrests every year that are directly or indirectly tied to substance use. From DWIs to drug possession, assault while under the influence, or theft to feed a habit, the connection is clear.

More than 65% of inmates in Texas prisons meet the criteria for substance use disorder. And many men coming out of incarceration say the same thing: "I wouldn't be here if I weren't drinking or using."

Why Substance Abuse Leads to Arrest

Drugs and Alcohol impair judgment, destroy self-control, and fuel reckless behavior. For many men, their worst decision was made while they were high or drunk. That's not weakness - it's what addiction does.

It starts with just one hit, one bottle, one bad night. But in Texas, where law enforcement is strict and the justice system is overwhelmed, that one night can turn into years behind bars.

The Root Problem is Spiritual

At Transitional Housing Enterprises, we believe addiction isn't just a chemical issue- it's a spiritual battle.

Many men use drugs or alcohol to escape childhood trauma, father wounds, guilt, shame, or the crushing pressure of trying to survive.

But numbing the pain doesn't heal it. Only God can do that.

That's why our Christian sober living program in Texas isn't just about staying clean. It's about helping men encounter freedom, identity, and purpose through Jesus Christ.
