Steps in the Right Direction
Luxurious Pet Friendly Sober Living for Men & Women in the San Fernando Valley
Steps in the Right Direction has offered structured, comfortable sober living in the San Fernando Valley since 2000. Women live at Aura House in Northridge and men at Arminta House in Winnetka: two gender-specific homes where you can focus on recovery in a safe, substance-free setting.
Each home has live-in management, weekly house meetings, random drug and alcohol testing, and shared household responsibilities, so residents build routines that last beyond their stay. Residents follow the recovery path that fits them, such as AA, NA, SMART Recovery, Refuge Recovery, outpatient programs or therapy, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is accepted.
And yes, your pet can come too. Both homes are pet friendly (house pet policy applies).
Private and semi-private rooms start at $1,800 per month. Call (818) 231-1400 or send us a message below to check availability or schedule a tour.

Testimonials
What Our Guests Are Saying...
Steps in the Right Direction, Women's Sober Living Home provided me with a foundation for long-term recovery. The healing community of women and the structure within our sober living home kept me focused on staying sober. I appreciated the comfort and beautiful pet friendly setting at Steps in the Right Direction in such a way that I could focus my attention on my journey to lasting recovery along with my kitty, Bella.
I love this place! I loved it so much I stayed for 4 years. I am thankful this place gave me my life back. I still go over and visit. It is nice to get to know the new girls and spend time with them. It is so hard to find a place that’s like your home. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn’t for this beautiful place. Thank you!
Steps in the Right Direction it worked for me and it’ll work for you. It’s a safe comfortable homey environment with the owner Linda and amazing staff that will bend over backwards for you and work one on one with you. I lived there for 12 years with my dog Frankie in one of the cutest bedrooms. I learned so much, met so many great people, made a lot of good friends, and went places I had never been before. I had fun just staying at home in our backyard swimming or having a Barbecue. I could never give back what they’ve given me - my life, laughter, happiness, peace of mind, and love.
I can't tell you in words how amazing my life has changed since I've been here. If you need a safe place to stay clean and sober, this is it!
Steps In The Right Direction was my saving grace. I was there for a total of two years. The house is beautiful and spacious and located in a safe neighborhood. My stay there was more than what I expected. I was given an opportunity to learn and grow in a safe place I was able to call home. The staff always went above and beyond. I will be forever grateful for the time I spent at Steps in the Right Direction.
