Derek Eckley
Derek Eckley
Before co-founding Sober Living West, Derek Eckley walked a rocky path. While trying to get sober, Derek went to 18 different treatment centers, but none of them offered him what he needed. Losing hope, he moved across the country from New Jersey to Los Angeles. There, he entered an all-male structured sober living home for the first time. At this structured sober living home, Derek finally developed the recovery skills he needed that keep him sober today. He is passionate about helping other young men learn the lessons that he so sorely needed.
It is Derek’s belief that quitting drugs and alcohol is only the beginning when it comes to developing a life in recovery. Derek is actively involved in the lives of young men who struggle with addiction and mental health conditions. He guides them through the obstacles and challenges of early recovery, teaching them valuable skills ranging from career development to resolving conflicts in broken relationships.
Derek is sober today thanks to the structured sober living home he attended and the principles of a 12-step program. His recovery rests on a solid foundation of principles, including discipline, integrity, responsibility, and accountability. He does not take his sobriety for granted. It is a path he continues to take one day at a time.
