Why Choose Design for Recovery?

Design for Recovery provides men with a structured environment where recovery, accountability, and independence are part of everyday life.

Our homes are built around consistent routines, peer support, mentorship, and practical responsibilities that help residents continue progressing after treatment.

Residents can receive support with employment, life skills, financial responsibility, family relationships, recovery participation, and medication monitoring. One-on-one mentorship and a recovery-focused community provide additional accountability along the way.

Our admissions team begins by understanding each resident's situation and helping them prepare for the transition into sober living. From move-in through the next stage of recovery, residents are encouraged to build the habits, confidence, and skills needed for greater independence.

Design for Recovery provides non-clinical sober living. If you are still experiencing withdrawal symptoms, appropriate supervision should come first.
