Awakening Recovery

Lifesaving 12-Step Peer Mentoring Recovery Homes

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

Our nonprofit drug free recovery homes in Los Angeles serve the most vulnerable with chronic and acute substance addiction. Our residents seek a life-saving, transformative and sustainable recovery approach in a gender specific collaborative living environment based on finding a spiritual awakening through the 12-Steps, combined with fostering lasting behavior change through high impact peer mentoring from our fellow residents, and our alumni support community.

Please help us congratulate our 4th Women’s House graduate Patty! - “A little over a year ago I was getting out of rehab and I was clean and sober from drugs and alcohol but I realized I had no idea how to live life as a sober woman. I knew I couldn’t go back to the way I was living but had no idea how to move forward. I then made the decision to come to Awakening Recovery. This was a decision that was definitely guided by my higher power. Awakening Recovery taught me how to be a woman of integrity by focusing on the spiritual principles behind the 12 Steps. The women and staff held me accountable everyday but also became trusted friends and confidants. My life has been radically transformed. I am extremely grateful to David, Greg and Aida and the rest of the Awakening staff who demonstrate every day what service really means. I am so grateful to all the women who have been on this journey with me. I can never repay what was so freely given to me, but I will show my gratitude by paying it forward to the next alcoholic in need, to show them that a new way of life is possible. ” - Patty/Graduate #newsoberlife #sobergratitude #sobersisters #passiton #sisterskeeper

This Body Broker practice has got to stop. It is killing those looking to get into recovery with false promises. This case in this article shows at least some accountability being imposed, but so much more has to be done to stop perpetrators seeking to take advantage of those with substance addiction trying to find help. "Those body brokers in turn paid thousands of dollars in cash to patients, which some patients used to purchase drugs, in order to induce those patients to attend treatment at Mahoney’s facilities."
