What We Offer

Employment Support
Getting back to steady work is frequently the first visible sign that recovery is taking hold. We help residents with resumes, interview preparation, and the job search itself, paired with daily accountability that keeps momentum from stalling.

Life and Recovery Skills
Sobriety holds up better when day-to-day life feels stable. Through house responsibilities and peer accountability, residents build habits (budgeting, routine, follow-through) that early recovery depends on.

12-Step Programming
Our houses operate around 12-Step principles. Residents receive support in finding a sponsor, attending meetings, and applying those values daily, not just during meetings themselves.

One-on-One Mentoring
Beyond house structure, each resident gets dedicated one-on-one mentor time to work through what's actually happening beneath the daily routine, not just rule compliance.

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

Family Services
We recognize recovery affects the whole family, not just the resident. We help loved ones understand what genuine support looks like right now, and how to stay engaged without hovering.

Medication Monitoring
For residents managing medications, consistency is critical. We help track schedules and maintain the connection to prescribing clinicians so treatment stays uninterrupted.

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, outpatient treatment, education, or personal goals while building routines that support lasting sobriety.
Each day includes recovery meetings, mentorship, shared responsibilities, and opportunities to build meaningful relationships with peers who understand the challenges of early recovery. These experiences help residents develop confidence, consistency, and the skills needed for long-term independence.

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.
