Sober Living in Laguna Beach

A free guide to sober living homes in and around Laguna Beach: who each home serves, what it costs, and how to reach it directly.

About sober living in Laguna Beach

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

No sober living home in Laguna Beach itself is listed here yet. Laguna Beach is small and expensive, and the closest listed homes are inland, over Laguna Canyon Road and the 73 toward Laguna Hills and Mission Viejo.

Closest listed homes to Laguna Beach

  • Laguna Hills: three men’s homes (Doghouse Sober Living, Dog Castle and Dog Palace Sober Living), each listed at $1,200 a month.
  • Mission Viejo: two women’s homes, Serenity Hill and Serenity House, each $1,200 a month.

All five share one phone number and website, so they appear to be one operator’s houses. For more choice, Santa Ana has three men’s homes from $900 a month.

Is it better to live near the beach?

Not necessarily. What matters more is a stable house, a short trip to work or an outpatient program, and meetings you can get to. An inland home at a lower rent can leave more room in the budget for the first few months.

Before you choose

California does not license sober living homes. Ask about house managers, drug testing, relapse rules and what the rent covers, and get it in writing. Our guide to checking a sober living home has the full list. Operators in Laguna Beach can be listed free; see our listing policy.

Looking at sober living options in Laguna Beach?

Laguna Beach residents usually look inland to Laguna Hills or Mission Viejo, which keeps the coast within reach. If you’re open to a longer move, Long Beach and the South Bay have many more homes and lower published rents than south Orange County.
