Structured Men's and Women's Recovery Homes in Los Angeles

Our nonprofit drug free recovery homes in Los Angeles serve the most vulnerable with chronic and acute substance addiction. Our residents seek a life-saving, transformative and sustainable recovery approach in a gender specific collaborative living environment based on finding a spiritual awakening through the 12-Steps, combined with fostering lasting behavior change through high impact peer mentoring from our fellow residents, and our alumni support community.

Ten years ago this month, Awakening Recovery opened the doors to our Men’s House. Today, our Men’s and Women’s Houses offer a stable community where recovery has time to take root. Our Summer/Fall 2026 newsletter looks at the missing middle—the place recovery can continue after crisis care or treatment. Inside, we reflect on 10 years of long-term, abstinence-based, 12-Step-centered, peer-driven recovery housing; thank the partners and community who helped carry AR through its first decade; and share an update on Phase 2 Recovery Apartments. We are grateful to enter our second decade with you.
