Haus Recovery Review
Located in Santa Monica, California, Haus Recovery offers co-ed sober living in a beautiful home just two miles from the beach. Haus Recovery was founded in 2016, by Paul Kaufman, who has worked in treatment for more than a decade. Kaufman previously founded Riviera Recovery in Malibu. He credits his success in long-term recovery to spending six months in transitional living after treatment, which inspired him to create structured sober living programs.

Queen or full beds are topped with comforters, and the rooms feature cozy décor with nightstands, small decorative lamps and dressers. Amenities include WiFi, TVs with cable and laundry facilities.

Rules and Regulations
Typically, Haus accepts men and women who have graduated from primary care at a drug rehab, and who have a minimum of 30 days of sobriety. Potential applicants undergo a comprehensive interview and must pass a urine drug and alcohol screening. Upon acceptance, new clients undergo an orientation session with the sober living director. The recommended length of stay is six months but the minimum is three months. Each resident is assigned a case manager who is a CADC. Working closely with clinicians, therapists, family, support personnel and the client, case managers track progress, verify that treatment plans are followed and assure that recovery goals are met.
While living at Haus Recovery, residents must remain active by volunteering, engaging in physical activities and attending recovery meetings. During the first 30 days of their stay, clients must attend five weekly AA/NA meetings. Additionally, they must abide by a 10 pm curfew, seven days a week. After that time, curfew is midnight seven days a week. After 30 days, clients must attend a minimum of three weekly 12-step meetings, including the house meeting, which has some recovery components.
Random drug and alcohol screenings are conducted, and residents who relapse must leave the premises immediately to ensure the safety of the household.
