Leaving an inpatient treatment environment is overwhelming. These factors can make it even more so:

• You were living with people who use drugs or alcohol
• You need a substantial amount of sobriety before returning home
• You don’t have a sober support system
• You are new to recovery and the 12-step program

If this sounds like you, a Carla Vista home gives you the skills to stay sober while reducing your relapse risk. We’ll give you more than a place to live. We’ll give you safety and support with a proven structure—all of the necessary tools to rebuild your life.

More Than a House

When we say we offer a home, we mean it. If you think “sober living” means staying in an untidy, crowded house in a rough neighborhood where people are still using, think again. We take pride in our homes, and each one is 100% tour-ready at all times. Before you ever become part of the Carla Vista family, you can tour our houses and talk to our current residents. We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

What To Expect

While we ask you to give us 90 days, most of our residents stay between six to nine months. We have two residents per room and a live-in house manager who offers guidance, accountability, and leadership. To insure that you can focus on your recovery, men and women live in separate homes.

When you live with us, you’ll

• Go to 12-step meetings daily, have a sponsor, a home group, and a service commitment
• Attend two house meetings a week, one with a featured alumni speaker
• Attend two 12-step meetings a week with your fellow residents
• Help make sure your home is safe for everyone by taking random drug screens
• Get linked to counseling and treatment if you aren’t already
• Have a job within two weeks of your admission using our job placement services
• Go out and have visitors while respecting your home’s curfew

We Are a Family

Our residents and alumni will tell it like it is. They first came to Carla Vista thinking they wouldn’t fit in or like anyone. They felt a lot of fear, low self-worth, and shame. Each day at Carla Vista, they saw proof of how people change through sober living. During their stay, they’d changed. They were filled with gratitude and a new peace of mind. They’d become part of a family that learns, laughs and grows together in sobriety.
