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.

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.

Recovery takes work, but the efforts pay off.
Our Programs

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.

A Sense of Community
Sober Living West is a structured sober living home for men located in Playa Del Rey.

Residents at Sober Living West work to stay sober one day at a time while rebuilding their lives.
Residents benefit first and foremost by developing a strong sober community. Addiction is often referred to as a “disease of loneliness.” At our sober living house, we believe that fostering connections with other people is the best way to combat this disease. In fact, studies on sober living have repeatedly shown that the peer support people obtain in sober living homes can reduce their likelihood of relapsing even years after graduation. Residents support each other on their recovery journey. Moreover, the friendships they cultivate at Sober Living West tend to last far into the future — providing not just recovery, but joy, fun, and fulfillment.
At Sober Living West, we recognize that recovering from addiction involves far more than just physical sobriety. It means developing a new way of life — or design for living. Residents address underlying issues, including mental health conditions and family conflicts. Meanwhile, they work to build new futures for themselves, which can mean new careers or returning to school.
In our Playa Del Rey sober living home, residents not only work to stay sober. They become deeply involved in the larger recovery community in the area. With time, our clients become leaders and role models. At Sober Living West, a social support system is not only an effective bulwark against relapse, but a foundation for the joyous life ahead.
