Common questions

No. We are a sober living home — housing with structure and peer support. We do not provide detox, counseling, therapy, medical care, or any other clinical service, and we are not a licensed treatment facility. Residents arrange treatment separately with providers of their own choosing.

There is no fixed term. Most residents stay several months, and outcomes generally improve with longer stays. You can remain as long as you're in good standing and paying fees.

Yes. Everyone in the house is depending on that. We require documented sobriety before move-in — confirm the minimum period and we test on an ongoing basis.

Testing is random, observed, and can also be requested when there's reason to. Refusing a test is treated the same as a positive result.

A positive test ends residency in the house. We help arrange safe transport and connect the person with a higher level of care. Residents receive written notice, have 24 hours to vacate, and may submit a written appeal to the Program Director within 48 hours. Personal property left behind is held for 15 calendar days. Returning later is possible after a documented period of sobriety and a new intake.

Yes. Bring them in original, labeled pharmacy containers. Prescriptions are kept in secured storage and released to you on a set schedule, and you administer your own medication. Staff do not administer medication or provide clinical oversight. Confirm final wording with counsel.

Yes. Medications for opioid use disorder are a legitimate form of treatment and residents taking them are welcome. Prescriptions are stored securely and released to you on schedule, and access is never interrupted.

Curfew is set by phase and is the same every night — there is no later weekend curfew. Phase 1 is 9:00 to 11:00 PM, Phase 2 is 11:00 PM, and Phase 3 is midnight. If your job runs past curfew, a written exception can be approved.

No. Cannabis and THC products are prohibited in any form, including anything bought legally at a dispensary, and no paraphernalia of any kind is permitted on the property.

Only in designated outdoor areas. Smoking and vaping are not permitted indoors anywhere in the house.

Call for help immediately. Naloxone is kept on site and staff are trained to use it, and our overdose amnesty policy means no one is discharged for calling for help during an emergency. Getting someone medical attention always comes first.

Yes — we expect it. After a short settling-in period, every resident is working, in school, or volunteering on a regular schedule.

Approved guests are welcome in common areas during posted visiting hours and must sign in with the house manager. No guests in bedrooms, and no overnight guests.

Not during your first 30 days. After that, one vehicle per resident may be approved. A written exception to the 30-day blackout is available for verified employment, a confirmed job offer, school enrollment, or a documented medical or legal obligation. Any vehicle on or around the property is subject to search. Residents without a car can reach most of the Valley by Metro and bus from Valley Village.

Yes. Residents install the house app and keep location sharing enabled for the duration of their stay, and common areas of the house are recorded. Both are disclosed at intake and acknowledged in writing before move-in.

Pets are not permitted, but service animals and emotional support animals are handled as a reasonable accommodation under federal and California fair housing law. Raise it before move-in so we can work through the request properly.

No. Sober living is housing, not a billable treatment service, so program fees are paid privately or by a third party on the resident's behalf.

Yes. Case managers, discharge planners, therapists, and family members are all welcome to call. Residents are never required to use any particular treatment provider as a condition of living here.

Yes. We don't confirm residency to callers without written authorization, and residents' information is shared only with people they've authorized in writing.
