Community and Connection are at the Core of Long-term Recovery
A 30+ Year Legacy Of Saving Lives
Awakening Recovery evolved out of a movement of recovery homes based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous. These homes incorporated a long-term approach of recovery through the 12-Steps and taking responsibility for their recovery through action and accountability.
Awakening Recovery is the product of over 30 years of evolution in the sector, blending a structured recovery home environment with behavior modification and the 12-Steps.
Awakening Recovery is the ONLY non-profit in the Los Angeles area that has this type of 12+ month, highly structured, 12-Step based recovery home. We have graduated a total of 31 residents total, and 4 residents so far in 2022. To date we have helped over 160 residents. We have an 80+% success rate with our graduates maintaining over a year sober and in July 2022, our first graduate celebrated 6 years sober. Over 70% of our graduates have stayed sober since graduating.
COMMUNITY VALUES
This is what guides our decision making and daily behavior:
- Integrity – We believe rigorous honesty and accountability are essential to all we do.
- Learning – While our guiding principles are universal and based on the spiritual principles of the 12-Steps, we believe in evolving and adapting our methods as we learn.
- Common Purpose – Because we have a common problem with alcoholism and drug addiction, we believe our community is connected by a common solution in recovery.
- Action-driven – We believe successful recovery requires consistent action to change our behavior, which signals willingness to transform our lives.
- Service – We believe in giving back to the community that saved our lives and seek to be a multiplying force for good in the world.
