Woodland Hills sits in the southwestern San Fernando Valley, a community of roughly 79,000 residents bordered by Tarzana, Canoga Park, West Hills, and Calabasas, with the Santa Monica Mountains to the south. Simonds sober living is based in Granada Hills, in the northern Valley, a short drive from Woodland Hills by way of the 101 and connecting Valley routes. For a west Valley resident leaving treatment, that keeps recovery housing close to the family, work, and community that early recovery depends on.
Staying near home is not a small thing for someone in early recovery. The months after a treatment program are when relapse risk is highest, and a stable place to live within reach of a person’s job in and around Warner Center, their family, and their support network is one of the strongest protections available. A sober living home within the Valley keeps all of that close rather than uprooting a person at the most fragile point in recovery.

Sober living is a substance-free residence where adults in recovery live together under shared rules and structure while they rebuild daily routines. It is not detox and it is not a treatment program by itself. It is the housing layer around recovery, giving someone a stable, accountable place to live while they work, attend outpatient treatment, or return to school after a higher level of care.
A sober living home addresses one of the most common causes of relapse. Someone who finishes residential treatment or detox and returns straight to an unstructured environment faces old triggers with none of the daily support. A sober living residence keeps structure in place, drug-free housing, house expectations, curfews, peer accountability, and regular check-ins, while the person takes on more independence over time. The goal is a gradual handoff from full clinical structure to full self-direction.

Sober living fits adults from Woodland Hills who have completed or are completing a treatment program and need a stable, substance-free place to continue recovery. It suits several situations rather than one.
The common thread is readiness for more independence paired with a continued need for structure. A resident holds a job, attends meetings or outpatient sessions, and manages daily responsibilities, but does so inside a drug-free household with peers pursuing the same goal.

Sober living at Simonds pairs stable housing with clear expectations that keep the home substance-free and recovery-focused. Residents agree to remain abstinent, submit to drug screening, follow house rules and curfews, and share in the responsibilities of a shared home. These structures are not punitive. They are what make the environment safe for everyone working to stay sober.
The residence connects directly to Simonds’ clinical programs, which sets it apart from a standalone sober house. A resident can attend the facility’s PHP or IOP during the day and return to sober living at night, keeping treatment and housing within one coordinated program. For a Woodland Hills resident moving through recovery, detox, residential, outpatient, and housing all connect, rather than requiring a new provider at each stage. Length of stay is flexible and set by the resident’s progress and recovery goals rather than a fixed term.
For someone from Woodland Hills, sober living within the Valley keeps recovery anchored to the life a person is rebuilding rather than pulling them away from it. Recovery in the months after treatment depends on routine, and a residence within reach of work, family, and outpatient appointments makes that routine easier to hold. A house far across the county forces a choice between the structure of sober living and the connections that make recovery stick.
The location also keeps outpatient treatment realistic. Many sober living residents continue attending IOP or an alumni program while they live in the home, and a Valley residence a short drive up the 101 makes those sessions sustainable week after week. Keeping housing and continued treatment close to Woodland Hills is what lets both work together during the stretch when recovery is most fragile.

Sober living is housing, so it is handled differently from clinical treatment when it comes to cost. Clinical programs such as detox, PHP, and IOP are billed through insurance, and Simonds is in-network with TriWest and TRICARE and works with most major insurance carriers on an out-of-network basis, with benefits verified in about 15 minutes. We do not accept Medicaid, Medicare, or Medi-Cal. The admissions team explains how housing costs and covered clinical care fit together before anything begins, so the financial picture is clear up front.

The residence is in Granada Hills, in the northern San Fernando Valley, a short drive from Woodland Hills by way of the 101 and connecting Valley routes. It serves Woodland Hills and the wider west Valley, including Tarzana, Canoga Park, and West Hills.
Residents typically contribute to the cost of housing, since sober living is a residence rather than a clinical program billed to insurance. The admissions team explains the specific cost and how it fits with any insurance-covered treatment before a resident moves in.
Length of stay is flexible and based on recovery progress and goals rather than a fixed term. Many residents stay while they attend outpatient treatment and rebuild stable routines, then move to fully independent living when ready.
Residents agree to stay substance-free, submit to drug screening, follow house rules and curfews, and share in the responsibilities of the home. These expectations keep the residence safe and recovery-focused for everyone.
Yes. Many residents attend Simonds’ PHP or IOP during the day and return to sober living at night. Because both are part of one program, treatment and housing stay coordinated.
