Men's House

The Vital Need For A Men's Recovery Home in LA: 

Stigma: Men face stigma in society while struggling with chronic and acute substance addiction, which can lead to feelings of shame or embarrassment, hindering and delaying their willingness to seek help.

Mental Health Challenges: Co-occurring mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety are common among men with chronic and acute substance addiction, and men have been socialized to suppress emotions making it difficult to fully engage in a sober collaborative living environment. This is greatly helped by being in an incubating peer mentoring environment where the common bond is brothers in recovery supporting and mentoring them in the first year showing them it is possible from their own lived experience.

Family and Relationship Responsibilities and Stressors: Men often have family and relationship responsibilities that make a long-term commitment to a recovery process challenging, and strains on those relationships as their substance addiction progresses to the chronic and acute stage erodes support systems.  Our year+ recovery home process for men helps them rebuild their lives from the ground up, building bridges back to family and other relationships.

Accessibility To Long-Term Solutions: There is a drastic lack of availability and funding of beds in LA for drug free recovery homes that can provide year+ commitments to men seeking sustainable recovery with no financial barriers to entry.

Our year+ long drug free recovery home in a collaborative living environment gives our residents time to thaw out from their active addiction. 

Our high impact peer mentoring recovery home process from alumni with lived experiences focuses on  long-term behavior change in parallel with active 12-Step participation, together creating a transformative mind, body and spirit experience for residents.

Our drug free recovery home is life saving for our residents, where their chronic and acute poly-substance addiction over many years is often combined with using MAT (medically assisted treatment such as buprenorphine and methadone) as drugs of abuse.

Our weekly wellness activities such as yoga, breathwork meditation, recovery walking/running activities, and in-house gym and training help provide a whole person approach to recovery.

Our focus during the second half of our resident’s year+ long process in the house is on reintegration to their community as sober members of society through employment, building fellowship connections in the recovery community, mental health referrals as needed, relationship building with their family system, and developing coping skills to successfully live a transformed sober life.
