Our Sober Living
We believe that sober living should be more than just a bed.
The Harbor Recovery community gives our clients the tools they need to achieve their goals and maintain long-term sobriety. We are closely involved in our clients’ recoveries and offer a supportive and structured environment. By focusing on fellowship and accountability, we help clients discover their potential, find purpose in their lives, and reconnect with friends, family, and their future.
Our Community
Harbor Recovery clients have the consistent, positive support they need to achieve a lasting change. With our help, clients foster responsibility and independence while remaining part of a strong recovery community. We have an experienced and dedicated staff that values each client’s growth. With engaging group outings and events, our community is constantly reminded to laugh and have fun sober. Our current clients, staff, and expanding alumni base work together to promote respect, inclusivity, and brotherhood as we journey the path of recovery together.

Located on the bluffs of Playa Del Rey, Harbor Recovery provides a welcoming and safe environment that blends comfort with luxury. Our home boasts breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Coast and is walking distance from the beach. We are a short drive to Venice and Santa Monica which are hosts to some of the best restaurants and culture Los Angeles has to offer.
In addition to our beautiful setting, Harbor Recovery provides around-the-clock care and an abundance of amenities. We not only ensure the recovery process, we enrich the personal growth of our clients and offer a thriving fellowship.

Clients progress through each phase as they meet important benchmarks while engaging in the Harbor Recovery program.

Individualized Case Management
Most traditional sober living homes have a “program manager” or “program director” who is responsible for an entire house of clients. Harbor Recovery take a unique approach to client care by offering case management. With our diverse team, we are able to intelligently match case managers with each client and their family. Our case managers work intensively with a small caseload of clients, allowing for a truly individualized assessment of needs and sober living experience.

We pride ourselves on providing customized care for all of our residents, and are always willing to work with clients and their families to find a level of care that suits each person’s individual needs.
Alumni Support
We know that staying connected to our facilities through an alumni and/or mentorship program can be an important part of maintaining sobriety. Harbor Recovery Sober Living offers a variety of ways for former clients to stay involved, supported, and accountable once they have completed their treatment with us.

- Sober mentoring program
- Big brother/Little brother program
- Assistance in finding housing
- Connecting individuals with a sober roommate

Application Process
At Harbor Recovery Sober Living, providing our clients with an environment in which they feel safe and supported is one of our primary goals. This not only enhances the quality of our homes and ability to treat those in our care, but also increases our clients’ rates of success in terms of long-term sobriety. Consequently, before entering one of our sober living residences, we take steps to ensure that each client is invested in the recovery process and that our program is the best fit for his or her individual needs. If it is determined that the potential client would be best served in another sober living residence or in a higher level of care, we are more than willing to provide the appropriate referrals and resources to get them the help they need.
