Structured men’s sober living in Los Angeles for residents of Pasadena — a set daily routine, real accountability, peer support and help getting back to work.
Pasadena has a real recovery community and a real bar scene, and Old Town is where they overlap — Colorado Boulevard, the 210 and the 110, and a city where the meetings and the using are on the same blocks. Our homes are in Los Angeles, about thirty minutes southwest. For men from Pasadena and Altadena, the distance is small but it changes the day: a house with a set routine, real accountability, and a peer group that doesn’t know the story.
Pasadena has one of the healthier recovery communities in the county, with meetings across the city and a lot of long-term sober men in it. What it also has is Old Town, the Rose Bowl scene and a social life that runs through bars on Colorado Boulevard. Men who got sober here and slipped usually say the same thing: it wasn’t the house, it was the neighborhood. Our homes are about thirty minutes southwest, which puts the old map at a distance while keeping a Pasadena job, a JPL or Caltech commute, or family in Altadena and Sierra Madre within easy reach.
Every resident is on the same daily schedule: up at the same time, somewhere to be all day, home by curfew. There’s a weekly house meeting, chores rotate, and drug testing is random. Men who are in outpatient keep going; men who aren’t start with meetings and a job search in the first week. The house manager lives with the men and notices — that’s the whole point of a house manager.
Men 18 and over who have completed detox and are not in active withdrawal. Most Pasadena residents come to us from a residential program or an IOP and stay while they finish it and get back to work. We don’t take men who need medical care we can’t provide, and we’ll say that on the phone rather than after you’ve moved in. Admissions: (424) 327-9081.
Men from across Glendale, Pasadena & San Gabriel Valley live in our Los Angeles homes. We also work with residents from:

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. The support and community I received here were effective in helping me achieve what I needed to overcome my struggles with drugs. Now, I am 6 months sober and counting.
