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.

Families deserve support while a young adult builds recovery, including room to ask for help themselves. In “What Families Need While a Young Adult Builds Recovery,” our Executive Director, David van der Velde, explores finding appropriate care together, listening to the young adult, rebuilding trust over time and caring for the family’s own wellbeing. The article focuses on young adults ages 18 and older and includes SAMHSA’s family guide, research on family support and Al-Anon resources.
