With a little ingenuity and a whole lot of patience, Transitions Sober Living was successfully opened in 2018 by owner, Jake Sieber, who believed, at the core of his being, that in order to teach reverence, you must find the seeds of reverence in each person and help them grow.
Transitions Sober Living is located in the heart of Austin Texas where the recovery community has shown to be considerably prolific. There is no doubt that Austin is a beautiful city with an accepting, relaxed vibe, plenty of outdoor recreation, and a wealth of social, business, and educational opportunities which intrinsically fosters the rehabilitation of Transitions clients.
At Transitions, clients are meant to feel safe, grounded, and accepted. It is intended for men who are facing substance abuse disorders to embark on a journey to wellness and wholeness. Their ultimate goal is for clients to maintain abstinence, embrace the fulfillment that comes with a life of recovery, and acquire the skills necessary to make effective, long-lasting changes in their lives.
The young entrepreneur was born to two amazing parents in South Louisiana and has an older sister who he shares a close relationship with. He expressed that he wouldn't be the man he is today without their love, support, and guidance throughout all of his trials and tribulations. Jake went on to graduate from the University of Louisiana in 2011 with an engineering degree and worked several odd jobs before discovering his calling.
Growing up, Jake’s parents owned their own businesses. He remembers watching them fervently work each day to support their family, which consequently led him on a path of his own inherent and unwavering work ethic that he states he will forever be thankful for.
Through his own personal experience, Jake fought to overcome his grueling battle with addiction himself during his early adult years, and just like so many others, he entered into the vicious cycle of going in and out of substance abuse rehabs with little to no hope; however, he profoundly recalls his final stay at one of them in which he made a commitment to himself, proclaiming that he would not only get sober, but also establish his own sober living home for those struggling with substance abuse as well.
"Because there is a major need in the substance abuse recovery community, it has created a gap from inpatient treatment to reintegration back into society. I’m here to bridge that gap."

"I’m here to help at the end of the day. It doesn't matter what demographic you come from. We are all equal when it comes to overcoming hardships."
