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.

Our Sober Living Community That Cares
Research on addiction has long shown that helping other people with their addictions is one of the best ways of staying sober oneself. With that in mind, residents at Design for Recovery who have more sober time take on important leadership roles in mentoring newer residents. In most cases, house managers have been through this process themselves. The house saved them — now it’s their turn to help house members.
Individuals have opportunities to get involved in community leadership roles even outside of sober living communities. The men at a Design for Recovery sober living house are active in 12-step programs and support groups. Many perform community service activities in the Los Angeles community, often with special emphasis on repairing the damage they inflicted during active addiction.
At our Los Angeles sober living, staff members and residents alike understand that addiction is not an individual problem. It affects families, neighborhoods, and broader communities. While addiction tends to narrow a person’s focus to the ego, men who stay sober at Design for Recovery begin to look outside of themselves. Many ultimately find that the greatest gift of sober life and a healthy lifestyle is the strength that one can lend to others in need.

Hear What Our Alumni Have to Say About Our Community
Excellent choice for anyone in need of support through challenging times in their lives. My brother entered the program almost 4 years ago and has never looked back. Now actually employed within the company and able to help others as they connect with him well knowing he has been in their shoes at one time! Been the best choice of his life and I couldn’t be prouder of him or the staff who helped him get there!
Damon McCrystalIf I have ever felt truly apart of something positive, it would be Design For Recovery. I’ve spent alot of time in and out through different programs, some good, some bad, but nothing even comes close to the experience that I’ve had, and am still having at this place. Truly blessed and grateful that something has actually given me my life back. Professional staff, clean homes, and people that actually care about seeing you succeed. Thank you DFR!
Taylor AullMy son has been living in a sober living home which has taught him how to control his addiction and become a better person. This house is very well maintained and beautiful. Because they have gone through the program themselves and are familiar with it, house managers are able to guide you during the whole process. Attending meetings on a weekly basis and keeping a clean environment contributed to his growth.
Alice BlackIn my opinion, this is one of the TOP resources that contributed to saving my son’s life. Staff and managers go above and beyond to make sure your transition after detox or rehab is as smooth as possible. If you’re truly committed to your recovery, then this is the place for you. The house is comfortable and in an excellent location. Choosing a sober living home in Los Angeles for my son was the best decision I could have made.
Camille JonesMy son Zachary was at his breaking point his mother and I had sent him to multiple rehabilitation centers and other sober livings. Nothing seemed to work. Then Design For Recovery gave Zach the gift of the opportunity to recover from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body. The accountability within the house is amazing. The loving and understanding kindness of the staff gave him a good example of how to conduct himself as a sober person. (1/2)
Juana BlackZach was never told what to do just given the opportunity to do it with kind understanding, guidance and direction. It was very clear to us that he was in a great place that genuinely cared about sobriety. The opportunity that Zach was given of a safe, sound and sane place to be at while he recovered from this horrific addiction has allowed him to re-establish my relationships with us, his family, Zach’s life was literally saved in this place I will forever be grateful for Design. (2/2)
Juana BlackDesign For Recovery’s sober living environment is definitely the best I’ve ever sent my son to for sure. Micah has been to other places that were not even close in comparison. If you follow their rules and actually open your mind up to new ways of living you won’t regret it. I recommend their sober living for those who really need a structured environment to grow in, the way they have it set up will definitely help change the way you view or do things for the better. It has truly set my son on the right path. Thank you Design!
Benjamin E. PalazzoloDesign For Recovery is a great place to send a loved one or yourself. Very attentive staff and great therapists. They really care about the clients and offer AA meetings to go to every night. The scenery is beautiful and the houses are incredible. The owner is a really great guy who honestly cares about what he's doing.

What is a Sober Living Home?
Sober living is a Level 3 form of residential care under the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) criteria. It provides a structured living environment for individuals in recovery, focusing on maintaining sobriety and developing life skills.
How Much Does Sober Living Cost in Los Angeles?
The cost of sober living at our home in Los Angeles ranges from $500 to $6000 per month, depending on the type of room you choose. Private rooms are on the higher end of this range, while shared rooms are more affordable.
Are there any rules or guidelines that residents must follow?
Residents must follow the rules at our sober living home to ensure a safe and supportive environment. These include maintaining sobriety, adhering to curfews, participating in house activities, completing chores, respecting others, and limiting visitors. Our staff helps residents understand and follow these guidelines to promote recovery and personal growth.
What’s the Longest You Can Stay at a Sober Living House?
Most of our residents stay with us for an average of 24 to 36 weeks (169 to 254 days).
However, we recognize that the length of stay truly depends on the individual and their unique progress in recovery. Some of our residents may only need to stay for a few months to establish a solid foundation in their recovery journey before transitioning to more independent living arrangements. Others may benefit from a longer stay of a year or more to fully develop and practice the skills necessary for maintaining long-term sobriety. We work closely with each resident to create a personalized plan that takes into account their specific needs, goals, and progress. Our ultimate aim is to provide the support and structure our residents need to build a strong, sustainable recovery, regardless of the length of their stay with us.
What Are the Benefits of Entering a LA Sober Living House?
For those who have completed higher levels of addiction treatment, such as inpatient or intensive outpatient programs, our sober living home in Los Angeles provides a structured living arrangement that helps them continue their recovery journey and transition back into everyday life.
We also welcome individuals who may not require intensive treatment but recognize the value of a sober living environment in maintaining their sobriety and developing essential life skills. Our home offers a safe, drug-free space where residents can focus on their recovery, build meaningful connections with peers, and practice the coping strategies and life skills they need to achieve long-term success.
Do You Allow Pets?
Yes, we do and we are proud to be one of the few Pet-Friendly Sober Living Homes in Los Angeles that allows pets.
We believe pets provide invaluable emotional support during recovery.
However, to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort, we do have some guidelines in place regarding pet behavior and care.
Are Family Visits Allowed?
Close family members are free to visit, though it is recommended that they contact the house in advance to talk about their visit with the house manager.
Design For Recovery also organizes regular events during which family members are invited to congregate with house members.
What Happens if a Resident Relapses While in a Sober Living Home?
At our sober living home, we view relapse as a serious matter that requires immediate attention. Our policies prioritize maintaining a safe and sober environment for all residents. If a resident relapses, we will work with them to address the issue and determine the best course of action, which may include recommitting to sobriety or, in some cases, finding alternative living arrangements.
What kind of Life Skills Training Do You Offer to Help Residents Transition to Independent Living?
Our sober living home offers life skills training to help residents transition to independent living, including budgeting, job readiness, household management, and communication skills. We also provide support in navigating healthcare, legal, and educational systems as needed.
How Do You Encourage Residents to Develop Healthy Habits and Routines During Their Stay?
We encourage residents to develop healthy habits and routines by providing a structured daily schedule that includes regular meal times, house meetings, and recovery-oriented activities. Residents are also encouraged to establish personal goals and work towards them with the support of staff and peers. We promote physical health through on-site exercise facilities or local gym memberships and offer guidance on nutrition and self-care practices.
