The Basics

 In 1995, Ronnie and Margaret Villegas, who are both in recovery, founded Miracle House Sober Living in the industrial LA suburb of El Monte, California. It is their way to give back to the community and to provide a sober living haven to other recovering alcoholics and addicts. Although Ronnie passed away, Miracle House is considered a living monument to his legacy. Out of respect to Ronnie’s memory, Miracle House provides one free bed to a financially challenged client who demonstrates a sincere desire for a life of recovery.

Accommodations and Amenities

Miracle House is comprised of four gender-specific houses—three for men and one home for women, all within a three-mile radius. Each house accommodates between 12 and 14 clients, who are paired in furnished dorm-style rooms. The 30-day cost for Miracle House, not including food and utilities is $550. Those preferring to be served three basic meals a day are charged a 30-day cost of $650, which also covers utility fees.

Rules and Regulations

Miracle House follows the 12-step approach to recovery and and expects residents to follow suit. Prior to admission, a potential client must pass a drug and alcohol screening. Requirements include attending 12-step meetings, acquiring a Big Book, getting a sponsor, working the steps and performing household chores that are assigned on a weekly basis. The resident manager conducts random drug and alcohol screenings to ensure the safety of the household. Those testing positive are immediately evicted from the house.

Clients are allowed ample freedom, provided that they report their whereabouts to their house manager, as well as their arrival and departure times. No visitors of the opposite sex are allowed. There is a 10 pm curfew Sundays through Thursdays and an 11 pm curfew on Fridays and Saturdays. Additionally, all outside activities must be conducive to recovery. At Miracle House, clients are also asked to be courteous to their neighbors, so as to uphold the organization’s good reputation in the community.

Extras

All the Miracle House locations are close to the El Monte Shopping Mall, providing a variety of services and employment opportunities within walking distance.

The female-only Bodger Street house features an women’s stag AA meeting at 7:30 pm Thursday nights.

In Summary

Miracle House is highly committed to the 12-step way of life, and makes sure that clients live up to those principles. Residents are treated like family, and are provided with support and guidance, as long as they are willing to abide by the rules, and committed to staying clean and sober. For those desiring to immerse themselves in the 12-steps, Miracle House is a great fit.
