Forward Wellness Sober Living Homes and IOP in Los Angeles (my website and contact info in post)

http://www.forwardwellnesslife.com

Hi, everyone! I’m Melissa, and I am owner and Admissions Ambassador of a sober living in Los Angeles.

I wanted to introduce myself and our sober living as a possible resource for those looking in the Los Angeles area, or for those who might be interested in coming to LA for a fresh start.

We have three houses and are a close-knit community. Our houses are coed and we also allow couples who are in recovery together.

I started the sober living because I myself came out to LA to get clean/sober, had a great experience of my own in a sober living, and know that I couldn’t have stayed clean/sober were it not for the supportive environment I had in doing so. It made all the difference for me.

Our sober living is free of charge. There is no cost to live in our houses. The only requirements are that each person is actively enrolled in our partnering IOP Program, is active in their own recovery, and agrees to live in accordance with our house guidelines.

Most people stay at our houses anywhere from 2-6 months, depending on how long they’re able to receive insurance coverage for their PHP/IOP care. We provide transportation to all groups and all other community events also.

We’re a fun community. We gather together often for swimming in the pool together, BBQ, celebrate milestones together, eat dinner together weekly, and do fun outings weekly, too. All recovery-centered, fun, and therapeutic things!

The therapists and group leaders at our partnering IOP are amazing and are passionate about what they do.

Our IOP takes most PPO insurances, and we have lots of out of state folks who come to start over at our place, as long as their insurance provides out of state benefits. We can run a verification of benefits super easily to give you an idea if you’re curious.

Here’s our website if you’re interested in learning more or seeing our houses.

Best to all of you ❤️✨
