Design For Recovery: Men’s Sober Living

Recovery is about more than staying sober. It is also about finding your rhythm, reconnecting with the things that matter, and creating a daily life that supports where you want to go.

At Design for Recovery, men live in structured sober homes across Los Angeles where they can focus on recovery while returning to work, building healthy routines, strengthening relationships, and becoming more independent.

Our homes bring together structure, accountability, and a community of men who are working toward the same recovery goals.

Making Recovery Part of Your Everyday Life

Design for Recovery provides structured sober living homes for men who are rebuilding their lives after addiction. Our residences offer a supportive environment where individuals maintain sobriety while developing the stability, responsibility, and life skills needed for long-term recovery.

At Design for Recovery, men build routines, strengthen recovery habits, and reconnect with work, family, and personal goals while surrounded by a supportive sober community.

Stories of Hope & Healing

Hear What Our Alumni Have to Say About Our Community

Can't say enough good things about Design. I went from being a lifeless junkie without one singular dollar in my pocket to having 2.5 years sober, being at the same job for over a year for the first time, buying my first car, evolving in a way I could never possibly foresee back then. This company is one of the last left in LA that still does great things, and has consistent success stories even to this day. Love everyone here.

Evan

Verified alumni, 3+ years sober

As a treatment professional, engaging with quality, ethical places ranks top for ensuring patient success and long term community change. Design is top of the list for all these. Grateful for the staff who helped countless recover, and for the positive impact on the community.

Daniel Lathrop

Treatment Professional

My son went through a couple of different rehab programs. On his third attempt, he went from rehab to sober living at design for recovery. I cannot express the gratitude and the absolute phenomenal job. I was so very afraid I was going to lose him.

Channing Johnston

Parent of alumni, Verified family testimonial

We are having a great experience with Design for Recovery. The counselors and therapists are well trained and responsive to the direction necessary for our son to thrive. The facilities are very nice and comfortable for a person in recovery.

Rue Matthiessen

Parent of alumni, Verified family testimonial

I've been a client here for over 18 months and this program has been stellar. They have done nothing but support me and guide me in the right direction. The staff and program managers are the best, the house is very comfortable (I am at the Mar Vista location) and they really care about you and your recovery.

Victor Herrera

Alumni at Mar Vista house, Sober since 2024

This sober living environment offers a structured and supportive setting conducive to early recovery. The emphasis on evidence-based practices, coupled with a strong peer support network, fosters accountability and promotes positive behavioral changes.

Mia Fiorino

Verified alumni, Sober since 2024

I've been through my fair share of recovery centers, but happy to say this one seemed to work the best. The staff and the people I met here made my time better and gave me an understanding that life on the other side ain't too bad. Something clicked, and I thank this place for helping me feel comfortable in my own skin.

Jacob Kurtzeborn-Sowell

Verified alumni, Sober since 2022

Was reluctant to come to a sober living at first but am happy I chose this one. The house managers and clients made me feel welcomed and comfortable to open up to others. I've been here for about 5 months now and have been able to get my life back together and build a community around sobriety. Very thankful for both house managers Josh and Matt as they hold me accountable and make sure I am always taking steps in the right direction. They genuinely care about the clients well being and I've seen them go over the top to help people.

Max Weinberg

Verified alumni, Sober since 2025

Design for recovery helped me get my life back. I didn't think it was possible for someone like me to find recovery and with the help from Design I have a life today that I never thought would be possible. I highly recommend them, from their clean facility and very helpful staff.

Nick Pomerantz

Verified alumni, Sober since 2023

I first came into the house in January 2023 with the hope of finding a new direction with my life and that's exactly what I found. With the guidance and structure of the house I was able to find accountability and responsibility for my actions.

Finding Your Recovery Community in Los Angeles

Los Angeles has become one of the strongest recovery communities in the country.

Thousands of individuals relocate to Southern California each year to rebuild their lives in an environment that supports sobriety, accountability, and long-term growth.

Being based in Los Angeles gives Design For Recovery residents access to more than what is available inside the home.

The city provides a wider network of recovery resources, employment opportunities, transportation options, and everyday activities that can become part of life in recovery.

For residents at Design for Recovery, that means having the opportunity to:

  • Stay connected to a large recovery network through 12-step meetings, recovery groups, and other community resources.
  • Find employment and build career stability across a wide range of industries and workplaces.
  • Access outpatient and continuing-care services as their recovery plan develops.
  • Explore different neighborhoods and activities while building a life that isn't centered entirely around treatment.
  • Use public transportation and local transit options to get to work, meetings, appointments, and other commitments.
  • Build connections outside the sober living home, gradually expanding their support network and daily routine.

The location also gives residents room to develop independence.

Instead of spending all of their time within the residence, they can work, attend meetings, pursue hobbies, maintain relationships, and become more comfortable navigating everyday life while staying connected to recovery.
