Sober Living That Works

Pet Friendly Sober Living in Los Angeles

About Us

Design to Recover first opened with an idea that pets are an important part of addiction recovery and we wanted to bring that unique element to the sober living Los Angeles community. Although Design to Recover is not only for pet owners, we do have a luxurious dedicated home just for this specific type of client. Renouned for this niche of pet friendly sober livings in California, we have since grown to become a nationally renowned sober community that allows pets in multiple US states. Apart from our furry friend home, our sober homes in general in SoCal are what many consider the best sober living in Los Angeles. We offer people a safe place to live at one of our sober living housing facilities, as well as job and life skills to help graduates transition back into society. Beginning with a single location, we have expanded rapidly to meet the needs of those who wanted what graduates of Design to Recover experienced. We offer several options, Men-only homes as well as women-only homes, we have one location that is co-ed. Mostly we make the co-ed location available as a sober living for couples option. We offer a pet friendly sober living house at one of our homes, for people with pets that are considered safe to be around other people, making us one of the only Los Angeles sober living facilities that allow pets.

PHP / Inpatient Rehab

Partial Hospitalization, also known as PHP (partial hospitalization program), is a type of program used to treat mental illness, addiction, or other serious psychological issues. In partial hospitalization, the patient continues to reside at a sober living home, but commutes to a treatment center up to seven days a week. Partial hospitalization focuses on the overall treatment of the individual and is intended to avert or reduce in-patient hospitalization.

What is sober living, and how is it different from drug and alcohol rehab?

Unlike rehab, which is typically an intensive treatment program, sober living homes provide a safe, drug-free space where residents can practice living sober while maintaining greater independence.

What is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?

PHP is a more structured program than IOP, often serving as a step-down from inpatient rehab. Clients attend treatment sessions for several hours each day, typically five days a week, but return to sober living or their home at night. PHP offers intensive therapy and medical care while allowing more flexibility than residential treatment.

It typically involves several hours of therapy and counseling multiple days a week, allowing individuals to live at home or in sober living while receiving treatment.

Do you conduct random drug tests in sober living?

Yes, random drug testing is a standard part of sober living to ensure accountability and maintain a drug-free environment. Tests are usually conducted twice a week at randomized intervals.

What type of support is available for co-occurring mental health issues?

Our sober living homes offer dual-diagnosis treatment if needed, which addresses both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and/or PTSD.

Medical detox is the process of safely managing your withdrawal symptoms as your body eliminates drugs or alcohol. Our team of medical certified doctors and technicians will determine in an initial interview process if this is necessary or not. It’s essential in many cases because it ensures you go through this difficult phase with medical supervision, reducing risks and ensuring comfort.

The team at Design for Recovery helped me recover from my pill addiction. I could get away for maybe a day from opiate pain meds but that whole day all I thought about was getting high. I always gave in eventually left to my own. I had a mindset change faster than I expected at Bridges. Suddenly getting high seemed boring and secondary to what I glimpsed of the lives of the staff and other peoples at Los Angeles AA meetings. The support at Bridges and friendships made all the difference. I am coming up on two years sober now and excited about life and what’s next. I didn’t even know who I was or what my passions were while using. Today I’ve discovered so much I’m interested in and currently I am literally pursuing my dreams.

I am truly grateful for the care and attention I received at Bridges. The therapists were knowledgeable and compassionate. I wanted something like a Malibu beachside sober living like on the movies but it wasn’t at all affordable. I found Bridges luckily which was the next best thing, such a nice apartment building and the location is great. The Women I met there are incredible and some I plan to stay friends with hopefully forever. Looking forward to visiting new women at the house, for the beach on Sundays, and giving back.
