The People Behind the Program
David Beasley
David Beasley is the founder and Program Director of Design for Recovery Sober Living Homes. Drawing from his own recovery experience, he created a structured, recovery-focused environment where men can rebuild their lives through accountability, mentorship, and personal growth.

What We Offer
Employment Support
Landing a job again is often the clearest sign that recovery is taking hold. Residents get hands-on support with resumes, interviews, and the job search itself, backed by daily accountability that keeps the search moving instead of stalling.
Life and Recovery Skills
Sobriety holds up better when everything else feels manageable too. Daily structure, house responsibilities, and accountability from the people you live with help residents build the routines (budgeting, follow-through, consistency) that early recovery depends on.
12-Step Programming
Our houses run on 12-Step principles, and residents get real support finding a sponsor, attending meetings, and putting those values into practice day to day, not just showing up once a week.
One-on-One Mentoring
Beyond the daily structure, each resident gets one-on-one time with a mentor, a space to work through what's actually driving things, not just a check on whether rules are being followed.
Money Management
Money stress has a way of quietly pulling people off track. Residents build real skills here: budgeting, saving, and financial habits designed to hold up long after they've moved out.
Family Services
Recovery isn't something that happens apart from the people closest to a resident. We help families understand what genuine support looks like right now, and how to stay close without taking over.
Medication Monitoring
For residents managing medications, staying on schedule matters. We help keep track of prescriptions and maintain the connection to clinicians so existing treatment doesn't fall through the cracks.
Life in Our Sober Living Homes
Life at Design for Recovery is built around consistency, accountability, and personal growth. Residents continue working, attending school, participating in outpatient treatment, and pursuing personal goals while developing routines that support lasting recovery.
Each day combines recovery meetings, shared responsibilities, mentorship, and meaningful connections with peers who understand the challenges of early sobriety. It's a community designed to help residents build confidence both inside and outside the home.

Starting the Process
Reaching Out
Before anything else, we want to hear where things stand, for you, or for someone you're calling on behalf of. Our admissions team will talk through what's going on and what kind of support would genuinely help.
Finding What Fits
We'll go over cost, logistics, and exactly what's included, so nothing about move-in catches you off guard. From there, we figure out what actually matters most: job support, daily accountability, or structure built around meetings and sponsorship.
The First Days
Once it's a fit, we'll walk through what move-in looks like: meeting housemates, touring the house, and covering expectations up front. Most residents feel settled within their first few days.
In Their Own Words
