Guide
Guide only — no Northbound sober living
2120 1st Ave N is not a sober living facility.
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 Seattle.
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 Seattle 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 Seattle, WA.

Local context
PNW housing after California treatment
Many Seattle clients complete detox and residential in Orange County, then return to Washington for community housing and alumni engagement — not Northbound-operated beds.
King County sober living options vary; we help families ask about structure, drug policies, and clinical follow-up.
HomeBound is unavailable in WA — plan outpatient supports with local providers and Northbound alumni.
Seattle 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 Queen Anne office at 2120 1st Ave N supports King County and the broader Pacific Northwest — Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Tacoma, and Everett. When medical detox or residential care is required, we coordinate travel to our Southern California campuses while keeping a local front door for assessments and alumni support.
