Pet Friendly Recovery Home in Los Angeles

With our Pet friendly recovery home

About Us

Our pet-friendly sober living and addiction treatment programs were founded with the belief that pets can play an important role in addiction recovery. We recognized the need to bring this unique element to the Los Angeles recovery center community.

Although our sober livings in Los Angeles are not exclusively for pet owners, we offer a luxurious, dedicated home specifically designed for this type of client. Renowned for our sober living homes that allow pets in California, we have grown into a nationally recognized sober community with locations in multiple U.S. states. Alongside our pet-friendly rehab facility, our sober homes in Southern California are widely regarded as some of the best sober living environments in Los Angeles.

In addition to sober living housing, we are also proud to offer several complementary programs such as IOP and a sober companion program for those in need of further transitional assistance.

Beyond our men-only residences, we offer one women-only sober living home and one co-ed facility. The co-ed location is typically available for those seeking a "sober living for couples" option.

Intensive Outpatient Programs

One of the most common questions we receive is if we accept private insurance for our drug addiction rehabilitation programs and the answer is yes. We accept most all private insurance policies pending approval from your provider where applicable. We are pleased to present what many former patients consider the best IOP program in Los Angeles. With a comfortable setting and friendly staff patients feel right at home. Our IOP Program in Los Angeles provides a comprehensive approach to behavioral health recovery, seamlessly blending the intensity of residential programs with the flexibility of outpatient care.

Mentoring

We emphasize One-On-One Mentoring as a Crucial Aspect of Recovery. Apart from that we assist with and encourage peer to peer mentorship. Many former house graduates regularly stop by and offer guidance and friendship. Often times new clients find sponsorship and/or rides to AA or NA meetings with former graduates. Connecting early on with other peers who are serious about recovery is a vital part of early sobriety.

Sober Companion Program

Our sober companion program in Los Angeles provides tailored, one-on-one support for individuals navigating the challenging transition from addiction treatment to independent sober living. This service is designed to help clients maintain their sobriety in real-world settings by offering guidance, accountability, and companionship as they work toward long-term recovery. Sober companions are experienced mentors who stay by your side during critical moments, such as navigating social events, building new routines, or facing everyday triggers. This program is highly flexible, accommodating clients with varying needs and lifestyles. Whether you're seeking short-term support for a specific event or an ongoing partnership, our sober companions are dedicated to providing the care and encouragement you require. What sets our service apart is its ability to extend beyond Los Angeles. If your recovery journey requires travel, our sober mentors are available to accompany and support you nationwide, ensuring consistency in your recovery plan wherever life takes you.

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

Sober living is a residential environment that provides structure and support for individuals transitioning from addiction treatment back to everyday life. 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.

Are meals provided in our sober living homes?

Yes meals are provided! Trips to the grocery store happen weekly also incase clients have special dietary needs or wants and prefer to prepare their own meals at times. Large stocked kitchen available 24 hours a day to clients.

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.

Can I Receive Drug and Alcohol Rehab Services Here?

Intensive Outpatient (IOP) is a treatment program designed for individuals who need ongoing support but do not require 24/7 residential care. 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.

What is medical detox, and who needs it?

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. We provide medical detox services in Los Angeles if needed, as the first step to your recovery journey.

We now have several other homes and locations available and in most cases, we do allow pets, but this also depends on the type of pet. Please check with us about our pet policy to ensure your animal is welcome before moving in.

Are you a dog friendly sober living?

Yes, we have two separate sober living homes that can host clients with dogs. Both are in the greater Los Angeles county region. One location is set up as apartments in a whole building dedicated as a sober living environment. Two of the seven apartment units are private one bed apartments, those two spaces are open for people with dogs (one large or medium or up to two small maximum). *No large terrier mixes or rottweilers. Other large dog breeds are case by case.

If a shared two bed apartment has someone comfortable with dogs then those apartments may be eligible as well, we typically do a meet and greet in the latter scenario. We make no guarantees with pets, if we have dedicated space open and unoccupied then we will gladly welcome you and your furry friend!

Our second facility is case by case and as is a shared large house. So it must be a well behaved and trained dog. Non-allergenic and smaller dogs are easier to accommodate. We make no guarantees on accepting pets, we find we are able to host people with one dog maximum at this location more often than not.

Do you accept people with cats?

Yes, we have two separate sober living homes that accept cats. Both are in the greater Los Angeles county region. One location is set up as apartments in a whole building dedicated as a sober living environment. Two of the 7 apartment units are private one bedroom apartments, those two living arrangements are available, non-exclusively, for people with cats (up to two maximum). If a shared two bed apartment has someone comfortable with cats then those apartments may be eligible as well.

We make no guarantees with pets, if we have dedicated space open and unoccupied then we will gladly welcome you and your furry friend! Occasionally there may be issues with allergies with a current client, in that scenario also we would most likely not be able to host the newer client with their cat at that time We are unable to offer any guarantees on placement with pets, we try our best to accommodate. Typically we find we are able to host people with one cat maximum at this location more often than not.

Can I Bring My Emotional Support Animal (ESA) to a Sober Living Home?

Yes, you may bring your emotional support animal with you in most cases.

ESA's, not to be confused with service pets, are either self-diagnosed or can be classified also with a letter from a therapist or doctor. Some sober living homes, particularly in progressive areas like Los Angeles and Washington, do allow residents to bring emotional support animals. These homes often understand the role that animals can play in helping reduce anxiety, foster consistency, and provide emotional grounding in early recovery. However, policies vary depending on the home's rules, landlord agreements, and liability coverage.

When researching sober living homes, make sure to ask:

Is your facility pet-friendly or ESA-approved sober living?
What paperwork is required for emotional support animals?
Are there breed or size restrictions?
Will my ESA need to be crated or kept in a separate area?

For those in Los Angeles, many pet-friendly sober livings are emerging that intentionally design their programs around ESA accommodations. Programs like Design to Recover are leading the pack in facilitating this growing trend as the results speak for themselves.

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.
