Structured men’s sober living in Los Angeles for residents of Big Bear Lake — a set daily routine, real accountability, peer support and help getting back to work.
Big Bear is a mountain town: seasonal work, small circles, and long winters that can make using invisible until it isn’t. Our homes are in Los Angeles, about two and a half hours down the mountain. Men from Big Bear come to us for a structured house at sea level, a daily routine that doesn’t depend on the season, and a recovery community with more depth than a resort town can offer. Going back up the hill later is a decision made from a stronger place.
Big Bear is a mountain town with a seasonal economy, long winters, and a small enough population that a man’s history is known at the market. Recovery resources up the hill are thin. Our homes are in Los Angeles, about two and a half hours down the mountain. For men from Big Bear and Running Springs, the move off the hill is the point: a city where the old routine can’t reach you and the meetings never stop.
A fixed schedule that holds every day: wake-up, a plan the house manager knows, meetings, random drug testing, curfew, chores, weekly house meeting. Residents work, look for work, go to school or attend outpatient.
Family can visit; the 330 and the 10 get you to the house in under three hours. If you’re finishing a program, we coordinate the move with your treatment team. Call (424) 327-9081 and we’ll tell you honestly whether our house is the right next step.

Our house managers and staff bring real training and experience to your recovery. Our homes are in Los Angeles, and we treat them as your home away from home — a place to strengthen hard-earned sobriety, get back to work, and build the independent life that comes after.
Having clear house rules, chores, sober-focused routines, and curfews helps you to remain focused on your recovery and personal growth.
Living with other men who share the same sober goals as you do will enable you to foster personal ownership toward your recovery as well as a sense of community and belonging. You will benefit firsthand from seeing how other men deal with their challenges and learn from their experiences and wisdom.
In our sober living homes, you will learn and reinforce life skills like cleaning, cooking, budgeting, and employment. These real-world skills become the foundation for your independence as you journey toward your new sober life.
You will participate in regular fun activities like movie nights, local sightseeing, hiking, beach exploration, and even volunteering activities.
Our sober-focused environment will deter relapse by providing a safe environment away from psychoactive substances and promoting healthy ways of living. You will also have access to immediate care and support if you feel vulnerable or experience strong cravings/urges to use substances.
Post-detox/rehab, moving directly to daily life can be jarring. Our sober living homes serve as the transitional bridge you need between intensive rehab settings and full freedom.
Sober living homes are ideal for individuals who are committed to recovery and need a structured, supportive environment. This includes:
I was not in a very good place when I first reached out to Sober Living California. But since then, I have been able to turn my life around.
