About the The House
We believe that Sober Living West is more than just a sober living home - we’re a community.
Sober Living West – Sober Living home is located in Playa Del Rey. A structured sober living for men, we provide a safe, supportive, and comfortable home base for young men to get involved in the recovery community. At our Playa Del Rey property, young men at any stage of their recovery journey can strengthen their tools for living and begin growing as individuals.
Our house in Playa Del Rey is a home base for clients, where they can enjoy modern amenities and comfortable accommodations. Meanwhile, our recovery services allow them to take an active role in their personal growth. Staff members and house managers guide young men as they take tangible steps forward. But the real growth happens when residents support one another.
Our Home
Sober Living West’s Playa Del Rey sober living house provides young men with a chance to live together and work on building new lives. This spacious home was built in 2007, and it is notable for its eye catching architectural style. At 4,500 square feet, it can accommodate many residents comfortably. The home features all modern amenities, providing sober living clients with the best in luxury living.
Many of the property’s bedrooms feature walk-in closets, distressed hardwood flooring, and even balconies. Bedrooms for residents also come with private bathrooms, which are notable for their granite counters and multiple showerheads.
The living room is where residents spend the majority of their time. At Sober Living West, we use this room to relax and hold house meetings. The living room has its own skylight and fireplace. More importantly, an entertainment system featuring a high-end television and surround sound allows residents to enjoy recreational time. Built-in bookshelves also give residents the opportunity to educate themselves. At the end, a sliding glass door opens up to a yard and patio, where our clients can work out or simply blow off steam.
Residents at Sober Living West cook their own meals in our kitchen. Designed for gourmet cooking, our kitchen has cutting edge appliances, granite counters, a center island, and a walk-in pantry that is sure to appeal to any budding chefs. It also features an eating area with a bay window, providing clients with a peaceful alcove where they can dine.
In our Playa Del Rey sober living, residents can live far more comfortably than they did during active addiction. Our goal is to give residents space where they feel safe and secure so that they can put 100% of their focus on recovery. While luxurious, our home is not a vacation spot: it’s an environment where residents work daily on personal growth, skill acquisition, and character building.
One of the ways residents at our sober living build character is by taking responsibility for the upkeep of the home. Daily chores, cleaning duties, and other tasks help young men understand that the joys of living in such a home depend upon their level of effort. While few people jump for joy at the prospect of mopping floors or dusting counters, we believe that taking charge of their living environment gives young men a sense of pride. Recovery takes work, but the efforts pay off.
Services Offered
Residents at Sober Living West have the opportunity to pursue recovery in a structured environment and supportive community. At our Playa Del Rey property, we emphasize principled living as the primary ingredient of recovery. Our goal is to assist residents as they heal the wreckage of their past and take positive steps toward the future. To that end, the house managers and staff provide a variety of services:
At Design for Recovery, we believe that long term recovery depends upon working with other people. Individual willpower is rarely sufficient to combat a substance use disorder, but connecting with other young men who share the same experiences can be a powerful tool. In our community of like-minded young men, residents can take advantage of one-on-one mentoring opportunities. They can freely discuss their problems and experiences without a fear of being misunderstood. Residents who are in early sobriety benefit from the strength and hope of those who have been there longer, and more long term residents can strengthen their recovery by taking on leadership roles.
Addiction is a family disease that affects far more than the individual engaging in substance abuse. In almost all cases, family members, romantic partners, and close friends are negatively affected by the behavior of their addicted loved one. At Design for Recovery, we believe that recovering from drug or alcohol addiction involves addressing the needs of the whole family. In many cases, this means helping families resolve patterns of conflict of miscommunication. We encourage family members to take an active role in the recovery of their loved one.
At Design for Recovery, we do not offer clinical treatment, which means we do not prescribe medications. However, many of our clients are prescribed medications by outside physicians and psychiatrists. It is common for individuals with addiction to suffer from comorbid physical or mental health conditions. In fact, half of all people with substance use disorders suffer from a mental illness as well. At Design for Recovery, we recognize that getting help for these conditions is crucial to long term addiction recovery. However, in early recovery it is often difficult for individuals to manage their medication intake. Our staff members manage residents’ medication schedules, giving them one less thing to worry about.
Few people can boast of having exciting, fulfilling, or even secure careers during active addiction. Part of recovering from addiction involves building a solid future for oneself. Young men in our Playa Del Rey sober living home work to secure jobs for themselves during their residency. They also take active steps toward figuring out long term careers for themselves that mean more than just living paycheck to paycheck. Developing meaningful new employment plans can mean starting in a new field entirely — or even enrolling in an academic program and going back to school as an adult.
Young men frequently suffer from financial problems during active addiction. The expenses associated with substance addiction go well beyond the immediate costs of drugs and alcohol. Intoxication can lead to risky spending decisions. Addiction-related health problems can be expensive as well. Getting fired from work can cause people to take on debts, engage in criminal activities, and other risky means of obtaining funds. Financial insecurity is often a major factor behind relapses. During recovery, young men at Design for Recovery learn new ways of managing their money so that they can achieve financial independence.

A New Way of Life
At Sober Living West, it is our goal to provide structure and accountability for young men so that they can begin gaining the gifts of sobriety. Few people get sober just so that they can return to their old ways of living. Even when substances are removed, many people still struggle to find work, communicate with others, and take care of themselves. The structure of Sober Living West’s sober living home is designed to assist residents in developing new habits and skills for the future.
This process takes time. Fortunately, Sober Living West’s sober living San Diego house allows residents to stay as long as they need. We do not believe the process of recovery can be completed overnight. Many of our residents stay for a year or more, gradually becoming more independent with each passing month. No matter where you’re starting, you belong here. As long as an individual abides by the rules and is committed to progress, they are welcome at Sober Living West.
Transportation
As a sober living home, Sober Living West does not require residents to have their own means of transportation. Clients live on-site at our Playa Del Rey location. This central location in West Los Angeles provides easy access to a variety of recovery resources, fun activities, and support groups. For families and loved ones who want to plan a visit or an outing, rest assured that Sober Living West is just around the bend.
It is natural that many of our residents have needs outside the house. These can include doctor’s visits, counseling sessions, court hearings, and even visits to outpatient treatment centers. Should a resident need transportation to any of these, Sober Living West aims to make arrangements. Our staff, long-term residents, and even alumni are all able to provide supervised transportation to any necessary appointments.
Residents at Sober Living West also attend daily 12-step program meetings.

We provide and arrange transportation for our clients so that they can get to these meetings on a daily basis.
Structured Living

At a structured sober living home, residents not only have the opportunity to live in a safe, trigger-free environment — they get hands-on assistance as they build their lives back up.
Residents follow a set schedule each day, with regular wake-up times, meals, and group activities. Many of these activities revolve around developing recovery skills, life skills, and fostering an increased sense of community. House meetings provide sober living clients with opportunities to address conflicts and issues while learning healthy new communication styles.
At Sober Living West, clients it is our goal to help clients to develop a new set of values. By strengthening their character, clients can begin to lead new sober lives that they can be proud of. The principles of living that Sober Living West emphasizes include accountability, responsibility, honesty, and integrity. These principles apply to sobriety, but they extend to all aspects of everyday life. Showing up to work on time, making one’s bed, and even responding to texts on time can make minute but important differences in the quality of a sober young man’s life.
