What We Offer
Employment Support
For a lot of residents, getting back to work is the first real proof that things are changing. We help with the practical side of the job search: resumes, interview prep, applications, paired with the daily accountability that keeps momentum going.
Life and Recovery Skills
Recovery tends to stick when the rest of daily life feels stable. Through house responsibilities, structure, and accountability from housemates, residents develop the habits (budgeting, routine, seeing things through) that early sobriety is built on.
12-Step Programming
12-Step principles shape how our houses operate. Residents are supported in finding a sponsor, getting to meetings, and carrying those principles into daily life, not treating them as separate from it.
One-on-One Mentoring
Residents also get individual time with a mentor, someone to talk through what's really going on beneath the surface, beyond just tracking house rules.
Money Management
Financial pressure is one of the more overlooked reasons people relapse. We teach the fundamentals: budgeting, saving, building money habits that last well past a resident's time in the house.
Family Services
We know recovery involves the whole family, not just the resident. We help loved ones understand what real support looks like at this stage, and how to stay engaged without managing.
Medication Monitoring
Residents on medication get help staying consistent, tracking schedules and staying in touch with their clinicians so ongoing treatment doesn't get disrupted.
Life in Our Sober Living Homes
Life at Design for Recovery combines structure with the flexibility to continue moving forward. Residents often balance recovery with work, school, outpatient treatment, and personal goals while developing routines that support long-term sobriety.
Each day includes recovery meetings, shared responsibilities, mentorship, and meaningful connections with peers who understand the challenges of early recovery. These experiences help residents build the confidence and independence needed for life beyond sober living.
