David Beasley
Program Director
David Beasley is the Program Director at Design for Recovery Sober Living Homes, where he is committed to helping individuals create lasting change in their lives.

His mission is to help residents rediscover hope, stability, and a renewed sense of purpose during a critical stage of recovery.
Drawing from his own personal journey overcoming addiction, David understands that recovery involves far more than maintaining sobriety. He believes meaningful transformation comes through structure, accountability, community, and personal growth. His experience allows him to connect with individuals in a genuine and compassionate way while encouraging them to move forward with confidence.
Through mentorship, life coaching, and ongoing support, David helps residents develop practical skills for long-term success. He believes that understanding, guidance, and strong community support can empower people to build healthier, more fulfilling futures beyond addiction.
Matt M.
Matt found himself in a vicious cycle of relapse, homelessness, incarceration, and treatment, followed inevitably by another relapse. For more than 10 years, his life felt like Groundhog Day, living the same nightmare year after year. Finally, he decided to make a change that would last. Matt came to Sober Living West a year and a half ago. He felt defeated, but willing to do what was necessary to rebuild a broken life. Matt credits Sober Living with giving him guidance and the tools necessary to succeed in long-term sobriety. His modest beginnings–like learning to make his bed every morning, sticking to a daily routine, and keeping his room clean–instilled in him a framework built on discipline, accountability, and personal responsibility.
This is the same message Matt passes along as a manager and mentor at SLW today. “Just take it slow and work on yourself,” he says. “The rest will fall into place.”
Matt is a regular participant in 12-Step meetings and works with a sponsor. His painstaking road to recovery gave him wisdom he now shares with those struggling to stay sober. He is proof that what doesn’t kill us simply makes us stronger.
Josh T.
Josh, from Oklahoma, set out a little more than two years ago to end a devastating trend of death and addiction that afflicted so many loved ones around him. Of Native American heritage (Kiowa and Seminole), he witnessed firsthand the tragic effects of alcoholism and drug addiction on the people he loved the most. His addiction began when he was only 14 years old.
He moved to Los Angeles at the age of 18 and discovered for the first time the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous. After several attempts at sobriety, he came to Sober Living West, where he learned the value of working a 12-Step program and being of service to others. He prides himself on being a good son, a reliable friend, and a helping hand to those in need. Josh’s message is simple: life is short, and we don’t have forever to mess around. He made the decision to get sober at a young age and hasn’t looked back since.
“We’re complicated people, but it’s a simple solution,” he said.
Josh exemplifies the simple truth that no matter the obstacles or the odds stacked against us, there is always a solution if we remain steadfast in finding it.
