About

Long-term Recovery is Our Goal

The fundamental flaw of most treatment options lies in the long-game, or lack thereof. Good intentions aside, most 30 or 60 day inpatient addiction treatment programs serve as little more than triage, discharging individuals with an abundance of hope and a complete lack of life skills. Even if they opt to pursue an aftercare program, these will generally lack the support and accountability which is needed for successful reintegration to life as a sober person.

– We are truly a transitional living with the necessary tools to support men from day one long into their sober lives. As our sober living house residents in the South Bay of Los Angeles gain more time with us, they slowly take on new roles and responsibilities, stretching far beyond their physical sobriety. By the end of their stay, residents will be able to successfully create, balance and navigate meaningful relationships, gainful employment or schooling, continued service work, financial responsibilities and family life with comfort and ease, enabling a seamless transition back into independent living.

Why Our Structure Works

What separates us from the rest is that our philosophy stems from the notion that drugs and alcohol were not the problem, but rather a solution for great emotional discord. Many who struggle with addiction have long relied on deeply ingrained, maladaptive patterns to navigate the pain and chaos within. At Miracle House, we are more than a place to remain sober—we are a space for transformation. We believe healing is nurtured through purposeful action, and that self-worth is not simply felt, but earned through meaningful, esteem-building choices each day. At MHF, our daily structure is built on principles essential to letting go of old behaviors and rebuilding a transformed life

Coinciding with the teachings of 12 step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous, our residents learn to exemplify traits such as integrity, diligence, tolerance, patience and open-mindedness. Everything from our morning chores to the highly individualized programs assigned to individuals to conquer fears or practice selflessness, serve to allow our residents to find their best selves.

However, the real fabric of our success stems from a culture of peer accountability, allowing residents to become truly involved in one another’s recovery. Through structural facets that emulate or resemble the stressors and responsibilities of everyday life, the young men of Miracle House Foundation leave with a comprehensive knowledge of how to navigate an unpredictable world with grace and dignity.
