Testimonials From Our Sober and Recovering Residents about “A Positive Change” sober living home Los Angeles
| “When I first moved into this house, I was depressed, anxious and helpless. I wasn’t looking forward to being here and had no faith in myself or my ability to stay sober. Despite my attempts to isolate and separate myself from the other members of the house, they welcomed me, accepted me, and gave me unconditional support from the start.
Before coming here, I depended on myself to get through difficult situations and that asking for help was a sign of weakness on my part. I have learned that being able to recognize when I’m on shaky ground and accept the support is a sign of strength. I checked out quite a few sober living [houses] before coming to ” A Positive Change” and not a day passes that I am not thankful that this is the place that I decided on. The staff here and the other members of the house have embraced me and welcomed me as part of the family. I feel more safe in this environment than I’ve ever felt and my trust as my faith in others and myself have increased immeasurably. Being part of this house is teaching me to care about myself and live and enjoy sober, but it is showing me that I’m capable of having a meaningful and worthwhile existence.” – Claire F |
| “After my second rehab and multiple relapses, I knew I needed to add a reputable and trustworthy sober living component to my treatment plan.
A Positive Change inspired me to work the 12 steps and to be accountable to the house, my roommates, my job, and most of all, to myself. I have been sober for over six months now and owe a huge part of that to A Positive Change. The house is spacious, comfortable, clean, and peaceful..everyone has a positive attitude toward staying sober and that helped me so much. Kenneth W. and his managers are great role models for anyone who wants to stay clean, stay sober, and just live life successfully and happily. He helped me learn how to be healthy in all areas of life, and this place inspired me to help others still suffering out there in their active addiction. A Positive Change helped me make the change from treatment to the outside world, where I can now live without abusing drugs. I’ll always be grateful.” Peter L. |
| “My experience at APC has been just that…POSITIVE! A healthy balance of structure and accountability provided the perfect, supportive environment I really needed to start a new sober and responsible lifestyle. Kenneth W. and the staff are admirable role models who demonstrate how to take my recovery and responsibilities seriously while also having fun. I can’t imagine a better post-treatment environment to reintegrate back into the real world while ever strengthening my own sobriety.” - Brent S. |
| “A wonderful place to transition! I was treated with respect and care, and I was given the resources I needed to eventually transition into independent living. I’d tried a few sober living homes before and A Positive Change is definitely a first of its kind…it all starts with the staff! They’re knowledgeable, caring, and always available. I felt comfortable going to any of them for any advice or just to talk about what I was going through at any given time of the day. A Positive Change works!” - John D. |
| “I learned not just to stay sober, but how to really RECOVER at A Positive Change. I changed my perception and the way I used to do things, and Kenneth helped me tap into the real issues at hand. My family was always welcome to come and visit, and today, after seven months, I have my family and my LIFE back! Thank you for everything.” - Danny F. |
| “Kenneth and his staff reflect what it means to genuinely help another person. The atmosphere at APC is uniquely comfortable for those who live there and for the families who visit. As a committed worker in the field of rehabilitation and recovery, I believe in Kenneth’s level of care and certainly endorse his model for ongoing sobriety. Because of Kenneth’s dedication to setting new standards in the industry and his focus on treating others with such care and integrity, I fully support his mission and vision and feel confident about his clientele….they’re in good hands, and his and APC’s reputation in the industry proves it.” - Keith M. |
| “The staff at A Positive Change in LA are all in recovery and were all strong in their own programs, so I felt comfortable and secure knowing they had my best interest in mind. They helped me tremendously in transitioning back to society from the treatment center that released me, and I always felt at home. I felt trusted to carry out my responsibilities and enjoyed a sense of freedom at the same time. Kenneth and his staff’s knack for tough love combined with humor and empathy with not just me but the rest of the clients I lived with, helped me so much as I learned to be a personally and socially responsible adult. One year ago, I was on a road to total self-destruction; my drug habit consumed me and I was hurting everyone I loved seemingly beyond the point of hope. I tried several sober living establishments before, from low end to premium luxury, but it all starts with the head….with the staff. Kenneth and his people showed me the way with total care and understanding.” - Alex K. |
