San Diego Sober Living Guide
We do not operate sober living in La Jolla or greater San Diego. This guide helps you plan community housing after treatment — with Northbound aftercare, HomeBound virtual IOP, and alumni engagement.
Guide
Guide only — no Northbound sober living
7924 Ivanhoe Ave is not a sober living home.
Sober living homes — also called recovery residences or transitional housing — provide drug- and alcohol-free shared living with peer accountability, house rules, and often curfews or drug testing. They bridge the gap between inpatient treatment and fully independent living in San Diego.
Northbound Treatment does not operate sober living facilities anywhere in California or Washington. We are a licensed treatment provider — detox, residential, PHP, and virtual IOP — not a housing operator. This page helps San Diego families understand options after formal treatment ends.
Quality sober living varies by licensing, staff qualifications, and whether active outpatient treatment is required. Many clients pair external recovery housing with HomeBound virtual IOP or alumni supports from Northbound rather than housing alone.
Our aftercare team discusses safety, location, house rules, and how to vet providers — without selling beds we do not own. Alumni events and relapse-prevention planning continue regardless of where you live in San Diego, CA.

Local context
Housing after care in America’s Finest City
San Diego’s sober living market spans beach cities to East County — we help families evaluate fit without selling our own beds.
Many graduates use HomeBound while in community sober living or family homes post-OC residential care.
Alumni ties you to Northbound peers beyond any single lease.
San Diego families often ask how Northbound differs from other providers — we concentrate on-site detox and residential at one Garden Grove campus, PHP at Newport Beach, and virtual IOP statewide rather than spreading thin across many small sites.
Areas we serve
Our La Jolla outreach office at 7924 Ivanhoe Ave supports San Diego families with assessments, virtual IOP coordination, and referrals to Southern California campuses when higher levels of care are needed. We serve clients from La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Downtown, North County, and East County.
