How Much Does Sober Living Cost in San Diego?

Sober living in San Diego typically ranges from about $800 to $1,500 a month, depending on the residence, the neighborhood, and what is included. 619 Recovery uses a contact-for-pricing model so we can match the right room and program to your situation; current rates are walked through on a 10-minute intake call. Some residents qualify for partial scholarships or family contributions.

The monthly rate at 619 Recovery covers a furnished apartment-style room, all utilities, WiFi, house manager and peer support, daily structure, and access to the broader downtown San Diego recovery community. There are no separate utility bills, no surprise add-ons, and no required upsells. Drug screening costs are bundled into the program rate.

Most health insurance plans do not cover the cost of sober living itself, because sober living is a residence, not a clinical treatment program. Insurance typically covers detox, residential rehab, partial hospitalization (PHP), and intensive outpatient (IOP) — the clinical levels that come before sober living. We can help connect you to an outpatient program in downtown San Diego that bills insurance and pairs well with our housing.

In some cases yes. 619 Recovery has had residents whose family contributed, residents who qualified for partial scholarship through community partners, and residents who paid out-of-pocket while working through the program. Bring up the financial picture honestly on the intake call and we will be direct about what is realistic.

Sober living pricing varies by room availability, length of stay, and program fit. Listing one number publicly tends to be misleading. We answer specific pricing questions directly on a 10-minute call — that way the number you hear actually applies to you, not to a hypothetical resident.
