I am a 31-year-old professional, and I have struggled with alcoholism and drug addiction for more than ten years. During that time, I have made countless attempts to get sober. These efforts were never successful, as I only grew closer to losing my career, family and friends.
After realizing that I was at the end of the line, I sought recommendations from several treatment professionals. They indicated that Back2Life was the only option for me. I decided to trust their judgment, and I have never looked back.
The respect that Josh Liber has earned in the treatment community is well-deserved. Josh's depth of personal experience and his thoughtful approach to everyday problems are invaluable assets to the residents of Back2Life. Josh cares deeply about his profession and about those with whom he works. His level of devotion is remarkable: he provides all residents with individualized attention, which helps to ensure that they progress toward their ultimate goal. In my case, Josh made himself available day and night; he helped me to navigate the difficult waters of career and recovery; and he provided support to members of my family, who were deeply concerned about my welfare.
Josh's passion for the field of recovery translates into a open and friendly environment at Back2Life. There is a mutual respect between staff and resident, an element that appears to be lacking in much of the recovery community. Josh recognizes that people do not need to sacrifice their dignity in order to recover from addiction. For me, Back2Life was not just a recovery house--it became my home.
I can't express how grateful I am that Josh opened his doors and let me in. Back2Life set me on the path to recovery, something that I have been unable to accomplish during the last decade.

California Sober Living
Back2Life Sober Living -
Located near the border of Santa Monica and Venice, CA, seven blocks from the Pacific Coast Line, Back-2-Life would like to introduce our Executive Style Sober Living & Transitional Environment to you. Southern California is a major hub for recovery & sobriety related resources, and Back-2-Life has set itself apart in several aspects.
We opened our facility in April of 2007 and have created an environment that caters to what we like to call “high-functioning” addicts & alcoholics. These are men whom are typically working professionals (or in school or attending outpatient treatment), are new in their sobriety and want to live in an environment that offers the amenities they’ve grown accustomed to. We believe wholeheartedly in living the good life in a clean, upscale and comfortable environment. From queen sized beds and plasma televisions, to an in-house chef and housekeeping services, style and comfort are key components here.
At the same rate, however, our priorities absolutely evolve around sobriety, integrity, community and growth…without exception! To us, comfort and amenities are simply the icing atop the sobriety cake, and we make no concessions when it comes to building the very foundation that will open the doors to our client’s new lives! It is my own experience that often times addicts & alcoholics will begin to prioritize other facets of life over their recovery. We focus on keeping sobriety #1 while introducing healthy schedules for work, family, relationships, fun, etc. We believe that there is a right way and a wrong way to accomplish this and it goes back to our underlying premise of creating positive change through compassion, experience and accountability. Sobriety can be fun and fresh but it takes a little work!
Since the age of 21 I had gone in and out of treatment centers and sober livings through my own ongoing struggles with addiction. I have taken bits and pieces from each modality and environment, and molded them into this vision. Back 2 Life is truly one-of-a-kind! I don’t talk about success rates and statistics, but what I do say is that those who are 100% committed to sobriety have a 100% success rate! Today, I am a sober registered chemical dependency counselor and love my job and helping others!
We realize that each client has their own life issues and we mold their stay here to fit their needs. The majority of our clientele have recently completed an inpatient program at some of the nation’s finer facilities, however, we are open to taking men who we feel do not require an initial inpatient treatment prior to arriving here. The cost per bed is $3800/month and private rooms (if available) come at a cost of $7000/month, and these costs are all-inclusive. We encourage you to visit our website and invite you to call with any questions. You may contact Josh at (310) 806-7190 or his manager Ron at (310) 779-7508. Thank you for your time and warm wishes to all…
Respectfully,
Josh Liber

Dear Josh,
I want to thank you for the opportunity to be a resident at Back2Life. You’ve provided an
environment in the house that really sets the standard for how I think a sober living should be
run. You’ve helped me greatly along the path of sobriety by showing me the importance of
responsibility, honesty, accountability, and willingness as well as showing me how to be vulnerable
and humble without fear of ridicule.
I can’t really imagine growing at a faster rate than I’ve been able to here at the house. The
structure of your program along with peer feedback from the other residents and outside therapy
has allowed me to recognize, accept and change things about myself that I never would have been
willing to see in the past.
This is not my first time getting sober, but it is my first time in sober living, and the first time I’m
actually enjoying my sobriety and feeling like it is something I’d like to keep with me for the long
run, and that really is directly attributable to this house and the program you have set up here.
Sincerely yours,
Joshua Ogle

Sober Living Los Angeles Testimonial
I am happy as the parent of two recovering addicts to express my deep
appreciation to AA, Josh Liber and Back 2 Life Sober Living. The name
Back2Life is truly appropriate for my son, Andy. When I visited in
December, I was pleased with the beautiful home and its facilities,
the lovely setting and atmosphere and the warm welcome I received from
the men who were there. What thrilled me most was the change in my
son Andy. He was more open in his communication, more emotionally
"alive" and connected. Andy was more focused and interested in life
such as career choices, people, and pursuing his interests in the arts.
Andy for the first time in a long time is taking responsibility for
his life by setting goals and taking steps to achieve them. He has a
more positive and hopeful attitude with a renewed sense of a love of
life, others and self and a willingness to participate in life. He is
beginning to embrace and recognize his strengths rather than focusing
on weaknesses and at the same time, he seems more serene and not
anxious and worried about his future.
Back 2 Life has given my son an environment that encourages and
supports his recovery in a sober living community setting while at the
same time encouraging and supporting his transition back to the
community at large.
This change in Andy has been the hope and answer to prayers of our
family, friends and many AA and Alanon communities who know and love
Andy. I am truly grateful for Andy's recovery and progress at
Back2Life and for the love and encouragement of Director, Josh Liber.

Sober Living Los Angeles Testimonial
I admire the courage and determination it takes to help other people in their struggle to maintain their sobriety, in preventing and helping them face the terrible challenges that arise during the recovery phase. I appreciate the dedication to this important cause. Back2 Life is a blessing to the sober community.
After our son’s rehabilitation treatment we looked for a place where he could continue his difficult journey to recovery. We chose for him to reside at Back2Life knowing that it had a structured and caring environment. That decision was a turning point in his and our lives. For years, we had wondered if we would ever see our "real" son again. He has been a resident of Back2Life for about 3 months and the changes in him have been remarkable. He is learning to be a responsible and accountable person. I have gotten to know the philosophy, personality and unique style of Josh Liber the founder and owner of Back2Life and his interaction with the residents of his house. From my perspective, Josh is a true and caring person, he has given us great advice with respect and true concern so we can understand our son’s way of thinking and therefore we can communicate with him in a more productive an healthy manner. He is also caring in his way of helping alcoholics/addicts reshape their lives and teaching them, the necessary tools to maintain their sobriety, to be self-sufficient and to have good, productive lives. To see our son make decisions and follow through with them is extremely moving to us and we are very proud of him for trying every day to work on the challenges of his recovery in an honest, humble and loving way.

Josh, I think you, Ron and the facility are fantastic and am so grateful for all you have given Andy. In an industry I feel is losing some credibility (from my past experience) I have to put you and Back2Life at the top for integrity. Andy's mother and I are so happy with his progress and are grateful for your personal interest in his recovery.
For the past year and a half my son, an addict/alcoholic of at least 15 years, has been struggling to find sobriety. He has been in and out of a number of treatment centers from Pennsylvania and Florida to California - some with national reputations - relapsing several times and coming near death twice. Five months ago he entered Back2Life after having spent a few days in the hospital from a previous life-threatening relapse. Between the safe, nurturing environment of the Back2Life sober living house and the outpatient program he attends, my son is learning the skills to live in a sober world and become productively employed at something he likes. As a parent I am greatly relieved and happy with his wonderful progress and have total confidence and trust in how Back2Life is managing all aspects of his life. I especially appreciate being able to call and talk with Josh or staff to discuss any concern. I believe Back2Life is the best place for my son to be at this time in his recovery. Thanks to Josh Liber!

Sober Living Los Angeles Testimonial from Mike
I’ve been around the program of Alcoholics Anonymous for over 15 years. I’ve been in several rehabs and several sober living environments. My experience at Back2Life has been absolutely positive and helpful in my recovery. Back2Life offers a very solid and safe environment for someone looking to stay sober. The program that Josh Liber offers teaches more about life skills necessary to maintain sobriety. I would recommend this sober living to any alcoholic/addict who wants to improve their life in sobriety. Back2Life has really helped me get my life back. I’m forever grateful to Josh and the other residents for an incredible experience. - Mike
