A free guide to sober living homes in and around Santa Ana: who each home serves, what it costs, and how to reach it directly.
Updated October 20, 2026. Sober Living California is a free directory run by Design for Recovery. Listings come from the Sober Living Network’s public member directory and are always free.
We list three sober living homes in Santa Ana, all for men and all members of the Sober Living Network, a coalition that inspects its member homes. Their listed prices sit at two very different levels, so it’s worth knowing what you’re comparing.
Full contact details are in the listings on this page. A $3,000 home and a $900 home can both be well run; the difference is usually in room type, staffing and what the rent includes. Ask each one to put that in writing.
Garden Grove, just west of Santa Ana, has OC Alliance House (men, $850). Farther south, Laguna Hills has three men’s homes and Mission Viejo has two women’s homes. See the Laguna Hills and Mission Viejo pages. We are still adding Orange County homes, so this list will grow.
The Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center is a Metrolink and Amtrak stop, and OCTA buses cover the city, so a resident without a car can still reach work or an outpatient program.
California does not license sober living homes. Ask who manages the house, whether staff are on site, how drug testing works, what happens after a relapse and whether prescribed medication is allowed. Our guide to checking a sober living home covers the rest. Know a Santa Ana home we should add? Listing is free; see our listing policy.

This guide is operated by Design for Recovery. Homes marked “Affiliated with this site” are run by Design for Recovery or its sister program, Bridges Sober Living Apartments. Other homes are listed free, from the Sober Living Network’s public member directory or checked on the home’s own website, October 2026. Prices and openings change — confirm with the home before you go. Sober living homes in California are not licensed by the state; Sober Living Network membership means the home passed that network’s inspection and standards. See our listing policy.

Sober living can be a good fit for the people below. Some homes serve only men or only women, some are coed, and a few focus on young adults; each listing says who the home serves.
Santa Ana is central to Orange County, so a home here keeps you within reach of most OC jobs and family. The trade-off is a small choice of listed homes. If none fit, compare the rest of our Orange County list or look at Long Beach, which is the nearest large group of homes across the county line.
Availability can vary depending on structure, expectations, and fit. The next step is seeing what options are available nearby and whether the environment aligns with what you need.
