12-Step Integration

Encouraging 12-step participation and recovery program work as a foundation for lasting sobriety.

At The Comeback Sober Living, we strongly encourage residents to engage with 12-step programs and other recovery pathways as an integral part of their time with us. While participation is not mandatory, our experience — and decades of recovery research — consistently show that active involvement in a recovery program dramatically increases the chances of lasting sobriety.

Why 12-Step Programs Work

12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) have helped millions of people achieve and maintain sobriety for over eight decades. At their core, these programs offer a framework for personal accountability, honest self-reflection, spiritual growth (of any kind), and connection with a community of peers who understand the struggle of addiction.

The principles of the 12 steps — admitting powerlessness, making amends, helping others, and committing to ongoing self-improvement — align directly with the values we cultivate at The Comeback. They are not just steps toward sobriety; they are principles for living a meaningful, purposeful life.

How We Integrate 12-Step Support

• Encouragement and group support for attending AA and NA meetings
• Help connecting with sponsors and building recovery networks
• House culture aligned with 12-step principles
• Peer accountability for working steps and attending meetings
• Access to multiple weekly meetings throughout Van Nuys and the San Fernando Valley
• Support for residents pursuing alternative recovery programs as well
• Staff who have personal experience with 12-step recovery

A Culture Built on Recovery Principles

Both of The Comeback's co-founders — Vinny Imperati and Joey Foteh — have personal and professional experience with 12-step recovery. They understand that the steps are not just a list of tasks but a transformational process that builds character, integrity, and resilience. That philosophy is woven into the fabric of everything we do at The Comeback.

Our house meetings mirror many of the principles found in 12-step gatherings: honesty, open sharing, mutual support, and a focus on progress over perfection. Residents who are actively working a program find that the sober living environment at The Comeback reinforces and amplifies the work they are doing in their steps.

Access to Meetings in Van Nuys and Los Angeles

Van Nuys and the San Fernando Valley are home to an exceptionally rich recovery meeting landscape. Residents at The Comeback have access to dozens of AA and NA meetings throughout the week, spanning multiple formats — speaker meetings, step study groups, men's meetings, and more. This abundance of meeting options means there is always a room full of people in recovery nearby, ready to welcome a newcomer.

If you are looking for a sober living home in Los Angeles that actively supports 12-step recovery, The Comeback provides both the encouragement and the community to make that commitment meaningful and sustainable.
