California Transitional Living Program

For young men in need of additional support, as they transition from rehabilitation to independent sober living, The Grounds provides structure and helps residents build life skills through manageable steps.

Located in San Diego, California, The Grounds features the main house and a step-down house. Over the course of the program, residents work with sponsors, attend 12-step programs, attain employment, and learn to manage their finances. Throughout their time at The Grounds, residents gain the skills they need to maintain a sober life, while also enjoying their free time in a healthy manner – pursuing hobbies such as surfing, hiking, biking, and other activities.
