The Little Beach House Transitional Living

Just because we’re based on the beach in the city doesn’t mean we’re beach bums...

The men in our program embark on excursions every 6–8 weeks to explore, experience, and build lasting bonds with one another.

Whether it’s camping, surfing, fishing, or the slopes for snowboarding and skiing, adventure is a core part of life here at the Little Beach House.

California’s incredibly diverse geography—featuring four of the five main global climate types—means we truly have a vast backyard to explore.

At The Little Beach House Therapeutic Transition Living, our community-based program is founded on six core principles that work in harmony to support our clients on their journey to recovery:

1. Individual and Experiential Therapies: Upon entering our 90-day intensive program, each client participates in 3-4 individual therapy sessions weekly, along with engaging in 1-3 experiential group activities. These activities are designed to promote bonding and connection within the community, as studies show the power of physical activities in fostering relationships among men.

2. 12-Step Immersion: Central to our program is the 12-step approach, known for its effectiveness in achieving long-term abstinence from drugs and alcohol. Clients are encouraged to actively work through the 12 steps with the support of a sponsor.

3. Life Skills Development: Our program places a strong emphasis on equipping clients with essential life skills that are vital for successful reintegration into daily life. Our diverse range of life skills-focused groups cover topics such as financial literacy, budgeting, career development, hygiene, and healthy eating. We not only introduce these skills but also guide clients through their application in real-life situations.

4. Recovery Coaching: Offering personalized support, our program includes one-on-one coaching sessions outside of clinical settings to help clients set and achieve measurable and attainable goals. Coaches act as mentors, assisting clients in navigating their recovery journey and achieving their objectives.

5. Wreckage Repair: Acknowledging the impact of past trauma and consequences, we provide a supportive environment for clients to address issues such as financial debt, legal matters, relationship challenges, and more. By addressing these issues, we reduce the risk of relapse and empower clients to move forward in their recovery.

6. Family Engagement: Recognizing the importance of family dynamics in the recovery process, we offer tailored support to help repair and strengthen relationships. Whether it involves family therapy sessions, communication skills, setting boundaries, or providing support to loved ones, our team of coaches and clinicians are here to assist both clients and their families as needed.
