Sober Living in Lakewood

Updated October 20, 2026. From Sober Living California, a free guide run by Design for Recovery. Listings are free.

We don’t list a sober living home in Lakewood yet. Long Beach borders Lakewood and has more than 30 listed homes, one of the largest groups in our directory, so it’s the natural place to start.

Closest listed homes

• Long Beach: more than 30 homes, including men’s, women’s and coed houses. Several list at $500 a month or less, and Serenity and Steps accepts women with children.
• Downey: Phoenix Empowerment House, men, $900 a month.
• Norwalk: First Vessel Sober Living, men, $900 a month.

Narrowing down Long Beach

With so many homes in one city, it helps to decide three things first: who the house serves (men, women or coed), your budget, and whether you need to be near a bus or Metro A Line stop for work. Then call three or four homes the same day. The Southeast LA & Long Beach page lists every home with its price and phone number.

Questions to ask

Ask who manages the house, how drug testing works, what happens after a relapse and whether prescribed medication is allowed. California does not license sober living homes; our checklist covers the rest. Run a home in Lakewood? Listing is free; see our listing policy.
