Addiction and Mental Health Among Young Adults in Los Angeles and California

Young adults in Los Angeles and California face significant challenges related to addiction and mental health.

According to the California Health Care Foundation, young adults aged 18-25 have the highest prevalence of substance use disorders in the state, with 14.4% experiencing a substance use disorder in the past year (CHCF, 2018).

The National Alliance on Mental Illness reports that 75% of all lifetime mental health conditions begin by age 24 (NAMI, 2021). The unique stressors faced by young adults, such as peer pressure, academic demands, and the transition to adulthood, can exacerbate these issues.

Stories of Hope & Healing

Hear What Our Alumni Have to Say About Our Community

Can't say enough good things about Design. I went from being a lifeless junkie without one singular dollar in my pocket to having 2.5 years sober, being at the same job for over a year for the first time, buying my first car, evolving in a way I could never possibly foresee back then. This company is one of the last left in LA that still does great things, and has consistent success stories even to this day. Love everyone here.

Evan

As a treatment professional, engaging with quality, ethical places ranks top for ensuring patient success and long term community change. Design is top of the list for all these. Grateful for the staff who helped countless recover, and for the positive impact on the community.

Daniel Lathrop

My son went through a couple of different rehab programs. On his third attempt, he went from rehab to sober living at design for recovery. I cannot express the gratitude and the absolute phenomenal job. I was so very afraid I was going to lose him.

Channing Johnston

We are having a great experience with Design for Recovery. The counselors and therapists are well trained and responsive to the direction necessary for our son to thrive. The facilities are very nice and comfortable for a person in recovery.

Rue Matthiessen

I've been a client here for over 18 months and this program has been stellar. They have done nothing but support me and guide me in the right direction. The staff and program managers are the best, the house is very comfortable (I am at the Mar Vista location) and they really care about you and your recovery.

Victor Herrera

This sober living environment offers a structured and supportive setting conducive to early recovery. The emphasis on evidence-based practices, coupled with a strong peer support network, fosters accountability and promotes positive behavioral changes.

Mia Fiorino

I've been through my fair share of recovery centers, but happy to say this one seemed to work the best. The staff and the people I met here made my time better and gave me an understanding that life on the other side ain't too bad. Something clicked, and I thank this place for helping me feel comfortable in my own skin.

Jacob Kurtzeborn-Sowell

Was reluctant to come to a sober living at first but am happy I chose this one. The house managers and clients made me feel welcomed and comfortable to open up to others. I've been here for about 5 months now and have been able to get my life back together and build a community around sobriety. Very thankful for both house managers Josh and Matt as they hold me accountable and make sure I am always taking steps in the right direction. They genuinely care about the clients well being and I've seen them go over the top to help people.

Max Weinberg

Design for recovery helped me get my life back. I didn't think it was possible for someone like me to find recovery and with the help from Design I have a life today that I never thought would be possible. I highly recommend them, from their clean facility and very helpful staff.

Nick Pomerantz

I first came into the house in January 2023 with the hope of finding a new direction with my life and that's exactly what I found. With the guidance and structure of the house I was able to find accountability and responsibility for my actions.

Hunter Johnston

Why Choose Design for Recovery?

Choosing a sober living home is about finding steadiness while you rebuild daily life. Our Los Angeles residences offer a calm, substance-free setting with clear house guidelines, shared responsibilities, and predictable routines, simple structures that make it easier to focus on life and relationships without distractions.

You’ll live alongside peers pursuing similar goals, which naturally encourages accountability and healthy habits. Spaces are intentionally comfortable and low-key, with quiet areas to rest and common areas to connect. The neighborhood is convenient for everyday needs and access to community resources you may choose to use on your own.

We respect your autonomy. This is not a treatment program, and residents manage their own medical and behavioral health care.

Our role is to provide a safe, alcohol- and drug-free environment where you can practice independence, keep a steady schedule, and move forward at a pace that fits your life.
