Structured Men's and Women's Recovery Homes in Los Angeles

Awakening Recovery provides year-plus, abstinence-based recovery homes for men and women in Los Angeles, with access available without a financial barrier to entry. Our structured, nonclinical model brings together the 12 Steps, peer mentoring, and a community committed to lasting recovery from substance addiction.

Our peer-mentoring house process runs in parallel with the 12 Steps toward graduation. Spiritual awakening, accountability, service, and meaningful connections with fellow residents, alumni, and staff are at the heart of the experience.

Our community grows through the people who keep showing up for one another. VoyageLA’s new interview with our co-founder David Vandervelde looks back on ten years of Awakening Recovery, daily mentoring and the alumni who stay connected.
