Why Design for Recovery
Choosing a men's sober living program is about more than finding a place to stay. At Design for Recovery, we provide supportive recovery housing where structure, accountability, and shared experience help residents create meaningful change that lasts beyond their time in the home.
The Foundation Behind Our Program
Structured LivingConsistent routines and clear expectations help create stability and make healthy habits easier to maintain.
Meaningful AccountabilityResidents are encouraged to take ownership of their recovery while receiving support from staff and peers.
Recovery-Focused CommunityLiving alongside other men working toward similar goals creates connection, encouragement, and mutual support throughout recovery.
Growth Through IndependenceEvery step is designed to help residents strengthen life skills, build confidence, and prepare for independent living.
Success Means More When Your Health Comes First
Professional achievements, financial goals, and personal ambitions all become easier to pursue when recovery has a strong foundation. A recovery residence creates an environment where your time and energy can be focused on developing healthy routines before returning to the demands of everyday life. Rather than constantly managing competing priorities alone, residents have the opportunity to establish habits that support long-term well-being.
For men coming from Beverly Hills, structured sober living offers a place to reset while remaining close enough to continue managing careers, family responsibilities, and other important commitments.

What We Offer

Employment Support
Returning to work is often one of the clearest early signs of recovery taking hold. We help residents with resumes, interview practice, and the job search itself, paired with daily accountability that keeps things moving forward.

Life and Recovery Skills
Sobriety tends to hold up better when daily life feels manageable. Daily structure and peer accountability help residents build lasting habits: budgeting, routine, and follow-through.

12-Step Programming
Our program is grounded in 12-Step principles, and residents get real support finding a sponsor, attending meetings, and applying those values daily, not only during meetings.

One-on-One Mentoring
Each resident also receives one-on-one mentor time, dedicated space to work through what's actually happening beneath the daily structure, not simply rule compliance.

Money Management
Financial stress quietly derails a lot of early recovery. Residents build practical money skills here: budgeting, saving, and habits designed to hold up well beyond their time in the house.

Family Services
We recognize recovery reaches beyond just the resident. We help families understand what genuine support looks like right now, and how to stay close without becoming overbearing.

Medication Monitoring
For residents managing medications, staying consistent matters. We help track schedules and maintain the connection to prescribing clinicians so treatment continues uninterrupted.

Life in Our Sober Living Homes
Life inside a recovery home isn't measured by how busy each day feels but by the consistency behind it.
Residents learn the value of showing up on time, following through on commitments, and creating a lifestyle where healthy decisions become part of their daily routine rather than something that requires constant effort.
Living alongside people with different backgrounds and experiences also creates valuable opportunities for growth. Listening to another resident's perspective, offering encouragement, or simply sharing a meal together helps build meaningful relationships rooted in honesty, respect, and mutual understanding.

How We Handle Admissions
Starting the Dialogue
We begin by listening, whether you're reaching out for yourself or someone else, to understand where things stand and what kind of support would genuinely help.
Clarifying the Fit
From there, we go over cost, logistics, and what's included, so nothing about move-in is unexpected. We work together to pinpoint what matters most: job support, daily accountability, or meeting-based structure.
The First Few Days
Once it's confirmed as a fit, we'll cover what move-in day looks like: meeting housemates, a full walkthrough, and expectations laid out clearly. Most residents settle in quickly.
In Their Own Words
Alumni share what changed for them during their time with Design for Recovery.

Recovery Gives You the Freedom to Focus on What Matters
Many people enter sober living because they want more than sobriety. A recovery residence provides the space to focus on those goals while surrounded by people who understand the journey.
Rebuild Balance Between Recovery and Everyday Life
Recovery doesn't exist separately from work, family, or personal goals. Living in structured sober housing helps residents learn how to balance those priorities without sacrificing their sobriety.
Think Beyond Today
Early recovery often focuses on getting through each day. As stability grows, attention naturally shifts toward the future. Residents begin setting goals, making plans, and creating a life built around long-term success rather than short-term survival.
Experience Honest Connections
Meaningful relationships are built on openness, trust, and mutual respect. Living alongside others who are committed to recovery creates opportunities to form friendships based on authenticity rather than shared substance use.
Gain Confidence Through Consistency
Confidence isn't something that's given. It's earned by following through on commitments, making healthy decisions, and recognizing the progress that's made one day at a time.
