Sober Living In Los Angeles
Sober living means a shared home where everybody living there has agreed the house is substance free. That is what Wellness Housing runs. It is not a treatment center, there are no clinical services and no medical staff, and there is nothing to complete. You live independently. You come and go, you work, you keep your own schedule and you pay rent. The choice is a bunk bed or a single bed in a shared room, utilities included. There is no credit check and no security deposit. Call 562 716 4568 and come and see a house.
Sober Living in Los Angeles
Most of what comes back when you search for sober living in Los Angeles is a clinical program with a clinical price tag. Wellness Housing is neither. It is three houses in South Los Angeles where the house is substance free and what you are renting is a bed in a shared room.
Being exact about what this is saves people days they cannot afford to lose. It is a home. You live independently, come and go, work, and keep your own schedule. You share the house with other adults who have agreed to the same terms. It is not detox and there is no medical staff. It is not inpatient care and there is no therapy schedule. It is not an emergency shelter, because it is a place you move into rather than a place you land the same night. Nobody manages your day for you. If what you need right now is clinical care, that comes first and this is the step after it.
The house rules are short and they are held consistently, which is the whole reason the houses stay calm. No alcohol and no substances on the property. Coming back under the influence is not tolerated. There is a dedicated smoking section for nicotine users. No outside visitors. Headphones in the shared spaces. Every house has a live in manager and a cleaner on site daily, and the common areas and building perimeters are camera monitored.
The rent covers power, water and gas, a furnished bed with a chest of drawers of its own, a shared kitchen, an on site laundry room, one gig WiFi and a 55 inch 4K television in the common area. There is no credit check, no security deposit and no lease to sign, and there is a $50 registration fee. General Relief through Los Angeles County DPSS, the DPSS Pilot Program and other third party rent assistance are accepted. Call 562 716 4568 and come and walk through a house before you decide anything.

What Sober Living Is Not
Not Detox And Not Medical Care
There is no medical staff and no clinical service of any kind at a Wellness Housing house. If you need detox or clinical care right now, that comes first and somewhere else.
Not A Program To Complete
There is no therapy schedule, no phase system and nothing to graduate from. You rent a bed by the month and you stay while it is working for you.
Not A Shelter And Not Section 8
It is a place you move into rather than a place you land the same night, and it is not a voucher program. The resident pays the rent, or a third party assistance program pays it for them.

Who pays for sober living in California?

What is the difference between a recovery house and a sober living house?
