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 (West)

Orange County (West) is one of four Orange County areas where The District runs sober living, with five houses here and men's and women's homes kept in separate properties. Residents live on ordinary residential blocks where groceries, jobs, meetings, and outpatient appointments sit inside a short drive. The weekend options run along the county's central corridor: downtown Santa Ana's museums, zoo, and gallery district, then north through Garden Grove to Anaheim's ballpark, arena, food hall, and Disneyland. Those are outings the whole house can plan around, with a start time, an end time, and a house manager who knows where everyone is. Structure comes first: testing, chores, curfew, and meetings are the routine, and the places below are what that routine earns. Pets are welcome where house rules allow. We never publish house street addresses online; admissions shares location details only after a confidential screening so current residents stay protected.

Transit and work

  • OC Bus Rapid Route 529 runs along Beach Boulevard toward Fullerton, roughly every 24–30 minutes on weekdays (about 6 a.m.–6 p.m.).
  • OC Bus Routes 29 and 29A cover the same Beach Boulevard corridor outside rapid-bus hours.
  • Route 76 serves Talbert Avenue and MacArthur Boulevard toward the John Wayne Airport business area.
  • Route 70 on Edinger Avenue connects west county toward Tustin.

Jobs within a short drive lean hospitality, food service, retail, and office support near the airport corridor, plus the resort and event economy farther north. Many residents land a first sober job close to the house — host, line cook, warehouse associate, or front-desk work — then build consistency before chasing higher pay. House staff help with résumés, interview rides when transportation is tight, and keeping a schedule that still leaves room for meetings and any outpatient appointments.

Getting to outpatient treatment from Orange County (West)

Sober living in Orange County — District homes are structured sober living, not PHP or IOP. When a resident still needs clinical hours, outpatient programs cluster across Orange County — Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Irvine, and the central county are all reachable by car in typical traffic. Many people drive the 405 or surface streets for morning or evening IOP tracks, then return to the house for curfew, chores, and community time. Admissions can talk through what commute is realistic from a specific house once screening is complete; we do not operate treatment at the property.

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 (West)?

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

Who is housing in Orange County (West) 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.
