My boyfriend went here and had a really positive experience. The house is clean, safe, and structured in a way that actually supports recovery. The staff genuinely care and are always willing to help or listen when someone is struggling. Being around others who are also serious about staying sober created a strong sense of community and accountability for him. This place helped him stay focused on his goals and build healthier routines. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid sober living environment.

Choosing a sober living home is one of the scariest parts of the journey, but this facility made it the best decision I ever made. The environment here is clean, safe, and truly feels like a home rather than a 'facility'.
I want to give a special shout-out to the house manager, Jerry. Jerry doesn’t just 'clock in'; he is deeply invested in every single person’s journey. He balances firm accountability with genuine compassion, making sure we stay on track while always being available for a real conversation when things get tough. If you’re looking for a place where you aren’t just a number, but a person with a path to a better life, this is it.

They genuinely celebrate your wins and help you navigate setbacks without shame.

The spacious rooms and outdoor water slide are just the beginning—but what really makes this place special is the community. The staff are friendly, present, and genuinely invested, and the brotherhood here gave us space to heal, grow, and process our trauma without judgment. It’s a supportive environment where you’re not just getting sober—you’re becoming whole again. 10/10 would heal here again.

My loved one went to stay at Jefferson House during his recovery. He was so well taken care of and received support and genuine care from all the house managers. They were also so wonderful and kind to me as well— always answering my questions and being extremely communicative. Vinny, Jerry, and Paul all played a major role in keeping my loved one alive and getting him on the path to recovery. They’re the best! So grateful for them and the work this house does. :)

I can’t say enough good things about Design for Recovery and the impact it has had on my friend’s life. Watching someone you care about struggle with addiction is heartbreaking, but seeing them come out on the other side—stronger, healthier, and with a renewed sense of purpose—is truly incredible.

Design for Recovery enabled me to do what I never thought possible: do sober living with two dogs. After a very rough 2024, I needed to reset my recovery. I found Design and packed my two dogs up and drove from the east coast not quite knowing what I would find. I found a gorgeous home in a wonderful and safe area. I also found house managers that made our sobriety their number one priority. During my three months there I had structure, transportation to 12 step meetings, basic necessties covered, and a community of men that quickly became family.
