What Life Looks Like in Sober Living

Sober living offers a balance of independence, accountability, and support, creating an environment where recovery can become part of everyday life.

Here’s what can make life in sober living meaningful:

  • Structured Days: A flexible routine that helps you stay grounded while pursuing personal goals.
  • Healthy Living: Opportunities to focus on nutrition, exercise, and self-care.
  • Positive Connections: Build friendships with people who understand your journey.
  • Personal Responsibility: Manage chores, finances, and daily tasks while learning life skills that last.

Sober living provides a supportive environment where residents can grow, build confidence, and prepare for greater independence.

Beyond Housing: Tools for Long-Term Recovery

Sober living is more than a place to stay. It’s more like a training ground for real-life success. Residents gain practical tools to maintain sobriety while preparing for the future.

Some of the key tools include:

  • Life Skills Training: Learn budgeting, job readiness, time management, and coping strategies for everyday life.
  • Support Networks: Connect with peers, mentors, and recovery communities for guidance and encouragement.
  • Goal-Setting & Growth: Build confidence through personal development and measurable progress.
  • Relapse Prevention Strategies: Practical skills to identify triggers, prevent setbacks, and stay committed to sobriety.

These resources turn sober living from a temporary stay into a launchpad for lasting independence and self-sufficiency.

What Our Clients Say

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

Verified alumni, 3+ years sober

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

Treatment Professional

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

Parent of alumni, Verified family testimonial

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

Parent of alumni, Verified family testimonial

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

Alumni at Mar Vista house, Sober since 2024

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

Verified alumni, Sober since 2024

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

Verified alumni, Sober since 2022

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

Verified alumni, Sober since 2023

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.
