The District helped me put my life back together. There is something seriously special about this community — the house managers genuinely care whether you show up.
Adrianna T.
The District gave me the tools I needed to begin a healthy life. Accountability, sober role models, and a safe house to process my trauma — not a hospital bed.
Alec F.
This sober living community gave me peace and helped so much with my sobriety. The house made me comfortable enough to start working on myself.
Abby L.
This is by far the best sober living community our family has encountered. I feel part of my nephew’s success is due to the structure he received here.

What District sober living looks like in Orange County (Central)

Orange County (Central) is the practical middle of our four areas: four District houses on suburban blocks where wide arterial roads, medical campuses, and strip-mall employers define the weekday. That is part of the point for early recovery — fewer tourist crowds, more routine. The weekend options sit a drive away in every direction: Costa Mesa's performing-arts center and fairgrounds, Irvine's Great Park and Spectrum Center, the historic plaza in Orange, Old Town Tustin, and the harbor-side shopping of Newport Beach. District men's and women's homes are separate residences; pets may be allowed when they fit house standards. Neighborhood character matters more than a slogan, and admissions describes the specific block only after screening, never on a public web page.

Transit and work

  • Route 70 on Edinger Avenue runs east–west toward Tustin.
  • Route 76 on Talbert Avenue and MacArthur Boulevard serves the John Wayne Airport area, reachable by connection or a short ride.
  • Route 64 on Bolsa Avenue runs east toward Tustin — useful for cross-county shifts.
  • Many residents connect to OC Bus Rapid Route 529 on Beach Boulevard when heading north county.

Jobs within a twenty-minute drive include medical offices, light industrial parks, retail along the big arterial roads, restaurants, and warehouse work, with the airport business district close enough for entry-level roles. Residents often find work in healthcare support, logistics, and service before stepping into trades or office roles. The District expects honest employment or an active job search, and house staff help with résumés, rides early in sobriety, and a weekly grid that still leaves room for meetings and outpatient hours.

Getting to outpatient treatment from Orange County (Central)

Sober living in Orange County — District homes in Orange County (Central) are recovery residences, not outpatient clinics. PHP and IOP programs sit across the county — Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Irvine, and Santa Ana are common destinations by car in typical traffic. The central location often shortens the drive compared with living at either edge of the county. Residents coordinate clinical schedules with house managers so curfew, testing, and chores stay intact. Admissions discusses realistic commutes from a specific home after screening; we never promise on-site therapy.

Pets are welcome at District homes when they meet house rules and the animal is a good fit for shared living. Tell admissions about your pet during the first call.

Why don't you list the house address on this page?

We protect current residents. Area and place context is public; exact addresses go to families and applicants only after screening.

Which other areas does The District serve besides Orange County (Central)?

We operate sober living only in four Orange County areas: Orange County (Central), Orange County (West), Orange County (North), and Orange County (East). There is no District house outside those four areas.

Who is housing in Orange County (Central) a good fit for?

Young adults who want structured recovery housing, can follow house rules, and are stable enough for work or school — not someone who needs medical detox or 24-hour clinical care on site.

Written by The District admissions team · Updated November 2026. House street addresses are shared after screening so current residents stay private.
