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 mentoring from our fellow residents, and our alumni support community.

In operation since 2016, Awakening Recovery celebrates 10 years in 2026, providing dynamic, long-term recovery homes for men and women in Los Angeles and helping residents build sustainable recovery, restore relationships, and return to their communities.

It was a powerful Summer at AR and in our 10th Anniversary month in July our graduate Austin celebrated 10 years sober! - “I am forever grateful for Awakening Recovery. I never thought I would get a single year let alone double digit sobriety. Awakening truly prepared me for long term sobriety. They gave me the tools to be successful in life and the community to help support me.“ - Austin / Graduate and Alumni Board Member #thatsoberlife #lifeofservice #pavingtheway
