Sober Souls

Karen P doesn’t know nothing about Sober Souls obviously. I will tell you from living there for almost 2 years that it saved my life. The staff, Audy and Roger have huge hearts and will bend over backwards to help you get and stay sober, and while that is the case of course it is still a business, how else would it operate? I recommend this place to everyone I know in AA or struggling. My life, my recovery, my foundation would not be what it is today without the help of Sober souls! I am forever thankful and grateful.

Sober Souls is the place to enter and maintain in the world of sobriety. If anyone ever tells you the addiction recovery or the management of sobriety is easy then they are lying to you. Addiction is an American epidemic. Equally with this epidemic are the countless sober living facilities that have taken advantage of this problem for their own personal monetary gain. It is not uncommon to see a sober living home in Los Angeles with sub standard conditions and far to many people living under one roof. Its not uncommon to see poorly run facilities with 6 people in a room that can only legally accommodate 2. Or perhaps a facility with no heat and a bed bug problem.
Sober Souls is not any of the above. It is run by a professional staff that knows addiction from personal experience. One can’t get their degree in addiction and call themselves pros in this industry and in the case of sober souls their professionalism comes from the experienced staff who have been down the road of recovery and sobriety themselves. If you want to cut around the bullshit of other sober homes come take a look at this place because at sober souls they are serious about addiction recovery and it shows within their alumnus. This place is clean and well run. If you can follow the rules that the staff outlines for you, YOU WIL SUCCEED. If you deviate even slightly you will fail, relapse and in the worst case scenario overdose and pass away.
If your reading this review you are probably very anxious or a very concerned family member. THe least you can do is reach out and make that phone call. Contact the staff at sober souls and let them talk to you about your or your loved ones life before it is too late. Just do it. Make the call and begin the road to recovery

Sober Souls has proven itself to be an essential part (if not THE most essential part) of my journey on the road to recovery. When it comes to my career, I have been very successful. I started out as a low-​level car salesman at Audi and worked my way up to eventually be the top salesperson of my region in the South-​East of the US. I have done extremely well in that department, until my drug addiction brought me to my knees. I moved out to Los Angeles, CA and got myself addicted to heroin and crystal-​meth. I lost my job at a high-​end dealership and ended up practically homeless living on the streets of L.A.
I did what I could to maintain my addiction for as long as I could. I started stealing and dealing and doing an array of illegal activities to keep my habit satisfied. I was extremely unhappy with my life and where I was. After two years of complete misery I had a conversation with my mom over the phone in which she told me about a sober living facility called «Sober Souls». Not knowing what else to do I gave it a shot and went to the house to check it out. I met with the owner Audy Harmon, and the house manager, a man named Jonathan Chang. Jonathan was extremely nice but took no bullshit and called me out on my lies, which to be honest was actually a little refreshing. I wanted my life to change. I wanted my old job back. I wanted to be a part of my family again. So i moved in.
After detoxing, cleaning myself up, and taking the direction of Jonathan and Audy, I managed to make some serious changes in my life. I have been clean for over 9 months now and have gotten a very good job at an auto brokerage making very good money! I dont know where I would be today if it wasnt for these people and their kindness. I am very grateful for everything they have done for me and where their help has allowed me to get to. I am slowly becoming a functional member of society again and it feels great! My family is talking to me again and wants me to be a part of their lives, which is actually the best part. Better than my job, my self-​esteem, and everything else. My family has been there for me through everything and to know they are proud of me makes everything i’ve been through worth it.
From the bottom of my heart, I fondly thank Sober Souls for everything that they have done, and continue to do for me. THANK YOU! I love and care for you all.
If you are looking for a safe, serious place to get sober and change your life, Sober Souls is the place to do it at. They actually care about you and will do everything they can to help you out. You will not be sorry if you are looking for a sober living and thi is the place that you choose!
Once again, thank you Sober Souls!

Sober Souls fosters an amazing community of support that teaches an individual afflicted by the disease of alcoholism to live a fulfilling life in recovery. I can personally attest to this fact, as I am celebrating 5 years of continuous sobriety!!! During my early days of recovering, Sober Souls taught me how to build a sturdy foundation coupled with the much needed support I needed to stay sober. Audy continues to be a strong support, and I find great comfort in knowing I am always welcomed;Sober Souls is FAMILY!
I feel free, I am capable of meeting the daily responsibilities life dishes out, and I am comforted in knowing I do not have to experience life’s challenges alone. Sober souls has graciously given me a fellowship beyond my capacity of imagination. Thank you for all that you have given to me!
Withl ove and gratitude,

My sobriety date is 2÷15÷2007 Almost seven years ago I left the detox unit from Tarzana Treatment Center for the last time and entered the Wilbur house at Sober Souls. The Structure, security and amazing staff helped keep me sober and alive. Audy Harman provided me with security that I needed to recover from my disease both mentally and physically. I had lived here for six months, worked their program and got into a 12 Step recovery men’s group and left a new changed man. I now have custody of my son, have an excellent job and am at peace. I would recommend
Sober Souls to anyone, some complain about this place and I don’t understand why. Audy, I love and thank you for helping me. Roger, I love and thank you for being there for me and for being a good friend. Be sure to check out their CA meetings every Tuesday night at 7:30pm.

Sober Souls was a learning experience that I will never forget. I am so grateful for the staff and maintenance man; who kept a very clean, sound, and well designed environment, with all the ups and downs of life, in one large ranch scenario. A quotidian, ultimately equating to sound reminders of the basic experiences a beginner will inevitably live through, as they approach the myriad of life changes vital to that of a chemical dependent personality. While keeping that in mind, the owner is a generous, kind, tolerant, and skilled man with many talents, understanding that the goal is to achieve a good foundation, which I did obtain during my stay at Sober Souls
I want to thank all of the employees for providing a safe and very comfortable setting where one is able to establish a new footing on life through the provided real and active fellowship with the surrounding community. It is something I will never forget and also hope to never endure again.
I recommend Sober Souls to anyone with the means available, as it is not the cheapest of sober living environment available. As for me? Sober Souls will forever have a place in my heart.

I’d give it ZERO stars if I could.
I see all of those «filtered» reviews — all negative, like mine — but hidden? What’s that about? They exclaim the same thing I do. This place is NOT ok, and the main dude is pretty much equal to a swindler.
Charges a MASSIVE amount to cash checks for the residents… charges a huge amount… more focused on the financial aspects than on the care of these young people… really offers only a strong–
As close as Pinks is… I’d not recommend this place to ANYONE. Even those I dislike. No. this is a «bizznus,» it’s not a residence to help young people grow and move forward.

Audy has a huge heart for others, and a burning desire to help others. Sober Souls was a foundation for me to launch my life. Thank you Audy and Roger!
