About Uncle Dave’s Transitional Sober Living Home

Uncle Dave’s Transitional Sober Living Home is a safe and affordable recovery housing option for men in the Pasadena, California, area. They’ve been operational since 2010. They provide stable, transitional sober living homes for people who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, who are on probation or who are in addiction recovery.

You can request a gendered house or a gendered room. They have eight locations in the area each with its own house manager.

Accessible Housing for Adults in Recovery

Uncle Dave’s follows the housing first model. Their homes are newly constructed, are kept clean and feature quality furnishings. They also offer a range of supportive services, resources and referrals so that all residents can achieve their goals. The homes are generally a five minute walk or less to public transit.

Some past residents raved about the comfortable, clean accommodations and excellent supportive peers and staff. Others have expressed concerns about the condition of the homes.

Supervised Sober Homes for Men

Uncle Dave’s homes offer all the amenities that make it feel like home. They include fresh linens and towels, smart TVs, high-speed internet, kitchenware, house computers and laundry machines.

Each home has a live-in house manager that volunteers to help new residents acclimate to their new living space. I like that house managers were residents first, so they really know what it’s like. These managers can help you find a job, apply for government benefits and mentor you as you move forward.

Addiction Treatments

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
