Blackburn Recovery offers sober living in Mar Vista, a residential West Los Angeles neighborhood between Venice and Culver City. Our Mar Vista home sits on a walkable street right on the border of Venice and Mar Vista.
Why Mar Vista works for recovery
Mar Vista is quiet and residential, but it is close to everything residents need to rebuild their lives: work, school, transit, meetings and the rest of the Westside. Residents can easily reach Venice, Culver City, Santa Monica and West LA for jobs, classes and appointments.
Being close to the Blackburn office also means residents are close to the rest of our team, including mentoring, case management and monitoring, which makes it easier to add support when it is needed.
Staying active
Residents from every Blackburn home have access to a fully equipped community gym. Exercise is a core part of our wellness approach, and regular workouts make it easier to build a daily routine that supports sobriety.
The Blackburn program
Every Blackburn home runs on the same proven structure, so residents get the same level of support whichever neighborhood they live in:
- Full-time staff at every location
- Frequent random drug and alcohol testing
- Weekly 12 Step meeting requirements
- Curfew, daily tasks and house expectations
- Weekly goal setting and help building a personal schedule
- Regular updates for families and treatment providers, with the resident’s permission
When residents are ready for more independence, many step down to Blackburn Sober Apartments, fully furnished, month-to-month independent living with weekly random testing. New to the Westside? Our West LA meeting guide lists meetings and free resources nearby.
Residents can also add mentoring, case management, clinical services and wellness support, all coordinated by one team. The average length of stay is 12 to 18 months. Read more about how our sober living program works.
