Places Worth Visiting in and Near Playa Del Rey
Venice Beach is often one of the first places visitors to Southern California go. Its beachside boardwalk is known to be frequented by eccentric characters and street entertainers, making it a great place for people-watching. It also offers shopping, skating, and a bicycle path. There’s something for just about everybody here. And while you’re here, don’t forget to stop by the Venice Canals Walkway, with its man-made wetland canals.
While Southern California offers many beachside attractions, none of them quite compare to the Santa Monica Pier. Boasting picturesque ocean views, an enormous Ferris wheel, and a bustling arcade, the pier is an exciting place to pass the time no matter how old you are.
Mar Vista is only a short drive away from Downtown LA, a bustling area of the city that is known for its cultural landmarks and thriving nightlife. Take Angel’s Flight for a ride, visit The Last Bookstore, see a concert at Walt Disney Concert Hall, or go to one of Grand Central Market’s many delicious restaurants.
Every Sunday, local farmers peddle their products at nearby farmers markets. If you are interested in having a fresh-cooked dish or enjoy people watching, this can be a great place to hang out with some friends. Otherwise, just stop by to pick up some locally sourced organic fruits and vegetables.
Southern California may be best known for being the home of the entertainment industry, but internationally it is also known as a major art area. Smaller art galleries are dispersed throughout every neighborhood, but major museums like LACMA, the Getty Center, and the Getty Villa are mostly located on the Westside. Many of them even offer one free day of the week.

Sober Living Services for Residents at Playa Del Rey
Most people with addictions suffer from a number of other conditions as well. Having an addiction increases the likelihood that a person will develop physical and mental health disorders. Likewise, those with mental illness tend to turn to addictive substances as a form of self-medication.
For many, getting help for addiction is an opportunity to recognize, often for the very first time, a need to recover from these other underlying conditions. Having comorbid conditions can complicate the recovery process, but Design for Recovery is committed to offering all residents the care and individualized approach they need. This often includes a combination of mentoring and pharmacological treatments. With a trained and dedicated staff on call 24 hours a day, every medication is diligently monitored, counted, and tracked in a well-organized filing system. Learn more about Medication Management.
Addiction wreaks havoc in a person’s financial life. Most young men in active addiction are unable to manage their own money. They are driven to spend every last cent on drugs or alcohol. Even those with money to spare often spend impulsively during drug-fueled binges.
There is evidence that addiction goes hand in hand with impulsivity. Part of getting sober involves learning to make decisions with the future in mind, which often entails sacrificing short-term pleasures in favor of long-term investments. In the early days of sobriety, however, it is essential to develop these essential skills which help lay the foundation for a prosperous and financially stable sober life. At Design for Recovery, clients learn the importance of budgeting and how to implement it in their lives. Learn more about Money Management.
At Design for Recovery, we believe that no one can achieve sobriety alone. Individual willpower isn’t sufficient to tackle a substance use disorder, which distorts a person’s thinking and behavior patterns. By entering a community of like-minded young men who are all working together to recover from the same condition, new residents will finally be able to openly discuss their problems without fear of being misunderstood.
One-on-one mentoring allows them to receive support, learn valuable skills, and restructure their lives from the ground up. We ensure that each recovering person is better prepared to meet the challenges of everyday life and receives the individualized attention they deserve. Learn more about One on One Mentoring.
Addiction is a family disease. Interpersonal relations and habits formed early on in a family context affect a person’s likelihood of developing a substance use disorder. As such, recovering from an addiction is almost never a matter of helping one individual exclusively. It is important to look at the entire context of an individual’s life, including family members and loved ones.
Our residents work to repair damaged relationships with family members, improve their social conduct, and make amends for prior damages. It is also worth noting that people who have addictions are not the only ones who suffer. Living with or loving a young man who habitually harms himself and abuses substances is incredibly painful. At Design for Recovery, we recognize that family members often have their own healing journeys to undergo. With all that in mind, Design for Recovery involves families as much as possible throughout the recovery process. We invite and encourage family members to take an active role in their loved one’s journey to get clean and sober. Learn more about Family Services.
Young men often experience a number of different difficulties with employment during their active addiction. They may struggle to find work at all, suffer consequences from poor job performance, or live paycheck-to-paycheck while working a combination of low-skilled precarious part-time jobs. At Design for Recovery, we believe that sobriety is about more than just remaining abstinent from drugs and alcohol. It is about building a new life.
To that end, we work with residents to help them find jobs, develop career goals, and formulate plans to achieve their ambitions. Employment support is part of a unique evidence-based approach at Design for Recovery, one where the focus is on long-term sobriety and financial independence beyond the walls of sober living.

Frequently Asked Questions LA Sober Living Homes
What is a Sober Living Home?
Sober living is a great way to transition from inpatient care to independent living post-treatment. It reinforces the lessons learned in rehab while providing social support and helping prepare for the daily challenges of life.
How Much Does Sober Living Cost in Los Angeles?
The cost of sober living varies depending on the location, how much structure the program offers, and what benefits and amenities are available. For example, some sobriety houses include weekly drug testing, transportation to 12-Step meetings, and employment support—and these extra services come at a higher price than places that don’t offer them. But often it’s cheaper to live in a sobriety house than to go solo because rent is split among several people.
