The Comeback Sober Living

The Comeback Sober Living, a new men's sober living home founded on the principles of community, brotherhood, and redemption, today announced the official opening of its premier recovery residence in Van Nuys, California. The home, located in the heart of the San Fernando Valley, is designed to provide men in recovery with the structure, accountability, and genuine human connection that lasting sobriety requires.

The Comeback Sober Living was co-founded by Vinny Imperati — known widely as "Skinny Vinny" — a sobriety advocate, media personality, and producer whose own story of recovery from severe addiction and homelessness has inspired thousands across the country. Imperati, who spent years battling addiction and living on Skid Row before entering sober living in 2018, has since built a career in film, content creation, and media while maintaining over eight years of continuous sobriety.

A Home Built from Lived Experience

Unlike many sober living facilities, The Comeback Sober Living was built from the inside out — by a man who has lived what their residents are going through.

"I know what it feels like to think there's no way back. I lived it. I was homeless, I was on Skid Row, I had completely given up on myself. What saved me was structure, accountability, and people who actually gave a damn about whether I made it. That's exactly what we're building here."

The Van Nuys residence is a fully updated, gated property featuring multiple bedrooms and five bathrooms, a large communal kitchen with two ovens, a dedicated laundry room, a pool and outdoor entertaining area, and security systems throughout — all designed to provide a dignified, safe, and community-centered environment for men in early recovery.

A Comprehensive Recovery Program

The Comeback Sober Living offers a full suite of recovery support services including structured sober living, 12-step integration, house levels and accountability, drug testing, life skills development, health and wellness programming, employment and career support, and meals provided. The program is designed to bridge the gap between clinical treatment and independent living — giving men the tools, routine, and brotherhood they need to rebuild their lives from the ground up.

Imperati and his team also maintain an extensive network of vetted treatment providers throughout Southern California, offering residents and their families trusted referrals for higher levels of care including detox, residential treatment, PHP, and IOP when needed.

A Story That Became a Mission

Imperati's path from addiction to purpose has been well documented across multiple media platforms. His credits include YouTube sensation Send it City (2020), Your Pranks Our Show (2022), producing Steve-O Bucket List (2022), starring in Whacked Out Sports (2023), and currently co-hosting the Wild Ride Podcast with Steve-O. Through every platform and project, Imperati has used his voice, his humor, and his honesty to show that recovery is not the end of a story — it's the beginning of a better one.

"Everything I've built — every show, every podcast, every project — has been possible because I got sober. The Comeback Sober Living is the most personal thing I've ever built. Because this isn't just a business. This is my life's work."
