A Supportive Home Base for Woodland Hills Residents
For Woodland Hills adults leaving a rehab program, a sober living home in nearby Thousand Oaks provides the steady, substance-free environment that helps new sobriety take root. Pairing that home with a dependable routine and housemates who share the same goal is what keeps early recovery holding. Residents wake up surrounded by others working toward the same thing, follow a daily rhythm, and practice the skills they are learning in treatment in a setting built to support them.
This housing suits people who want a calm setting for early recovery, who value the encouragement of a like-minded community, or who are rebuilding work and social connections across the Valley. Stable sober housing is consistently linked with stronger recovery, helping residents stay engaged with support groups and keep up steady work and routine. The home becomes a launching point for confident, independent living.
How Our Homes Connect to Your Outpatient Program
Our sober living works hand in hand with the outpatient programs at our outpatient rehab in Thousand Oaks, so housing and treatment reinforce one another. Many sober homes operate on their own, with residents arranging care separately; here, the home and the treatment come from the same accredited program, which means one coordinated plan. Residents attend their partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient or standard outpatient sessions during the day and return to the sober home afterward, where the structure helps them apply what they practiced in therapy. Living and healing in rhythm like this keeps momentum strong between sessions.
Because our homes serve people enrolled in our outpatient programs, there is a natural continuity of care. The same clinical team that guides treatment understands each resident's recovery, and the housing supports that plan rather than running separate from it. Our sober living and supportive housing program shows how the homes fit into treatment. For Woodland Hills adults, that means one connected experience from the first session to a confident return to independent living.
Daily Rhythm and House Community
Daily life in our homes follows a supportive structure that makes recovery feel steady and achievable. As sober living homes normally do, residents take part in recovery support meetings, stay engaged with their counseling, keep their personal spaces tidy, share in simple household responsibilities, treat housemates with respect, and keep to the house's shared expectations. These shared expectations create a calm, accountable environment where everyone is pulling in the same direction.
Housemates who understand the journey give residents both independence and a genuine sense of belonging. The routine is built to develop the habits that carry forward long after someone moves on.
Who Our Homes Welcome
Our sober living homes welcome Woodland Hills adults 18 and older who have completed or are engaged in treatment and are committed to building a sober life. People leaving a rehab program who want a stable, encouraging place to continue their progress are an ideal fit, as are those whose recovery is strengthened by community and routine. Veterans and active-duty service members are supported through our dedicated veterans and active-duty military program built around their experience.
Our homes support people working through alcohol, opioid, stimulant, cannabis, or prescription drug use, and we welcome residents managing co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or trauma alongside their recovery. Every resident is met with respect and encouragement, whatever their starting point.
Insurance Coverage for Your Outpatient Treatment
Insurance covers the outpatient treatment connected to sober living, while the housing itself is a separate cost. We bill most major carriers for the treatment side, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Shield of California, Kaiser Permanente, Optum, UMR, GEHA, and Anthem, and confirm your benefits before treatment begins.
The admissions team can explain how housing and outpatient care fit together, and what your specific plan covers ahead of time. Checking coverage early means you can settle in with a clear picture. The easiest way to begin is to let us verify your benefits for you.

Sober Living Questions From Woodland Hills Residents
How Is Clinically Integrated Sober Living Different From a Standalone Sober Home?
Clinically integrated sober living means the home and the outpatient treatment come from the same accredited program, so one clinical team coordinates both. A standalone sober home provides housing on its own, with therapy arranged separately. Here, housing and care follow a single plan, which keeps recovery consistent from the therapy session to the front door.
What Do the Sober Living Homes Include?
The homes give residents a calm, substance-free place to live with a steady daily routine and housemates who share the same recovery goal. Day-to-day structure, support-group involvement and connection to the outpatient program are what the homes are built around. Our admissions team can walk you through what day-to-day life looks like.
How Do Residents Get to Outpatient Sessions From the Homes?
The homes sit in Thousand Oaks along the U.S. 101 corridor, a straightforward route for anyone connected to the west San Fernando Valley. Residents attend their outpatient sessions during the day and return to the home afterward. Our admissions team can go over the options for getting to and from sessions.
Can Woodland Hills Residents Live in the Homes Without Enrolling in the Outpatient Program?
Our homes are designed for adults enrolled in the outpatient programs, so housing and treatment reinforce one another. Residents attend partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient or standard outpatient sessions and return to the home afterward. Our admissions team can walk Woodland Hills residents through how enrollment and housing fit together.
Is Mental Health Support Available for Residents With Anxiety, Depression, or PTSD?
Yes, residents managing anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder or trauma alongside recovery are supported, with care coordinated through the outpatient program.
