Riviera Recovery’s men’s transitional housing in Santa Monica offers young adults a structured, supportive environment to bridge the gap between mental health treatment and independent living.
Guiding Young Adults Toward Independence
At Riviera Recovery, we provide structured, community-based transitional housing in the Santa Monica area for young adult men navigating mental health challenges. Our homes are designed to offer consistency, support, and connection — creating a bridge between clinical treatment and independent living.
Here, residents aren’t defined by their diagnosis. They’re supported in building a life that reflects their passions, their goals, and their unique journey toward wellness.
Why Santa Monica Is a Place to Grow
A Calm, Coastal Environment
The natural setting of Santa Monica offers space to reflect and reconnect. With beach access, green parks, and a walkable neighborhood, it’s an ideal environment to support mental and emotional wellness.
Connection Through Community
Living alongside others on similar paths fosters authentic relationships, peer support, and shared accountability — key elements in building independence and personal growth.
Close to World-Class Mental Health Providers
Our residents benefit from nearby access to some of the best outpatient therapists, psychiatrists, and wellness professionals in West Los Angeles. We work closely with outside providers to ensure every resident continues their clinical care plan while gaining life skills in a real-world setting.
