Get Clean San Diego

Our San Marcos home

Our San Marcos home follows the same structure as every Get Clean house: curfew, random drug testing, chores and a 12-step program, with a house manager keeping it consistent.

San Marcos is a good base for residents working or studying along the 78 corridor. The Poolhouse is close to the SPRINTER light rail, Cal State San Marcos and Palomar College, and a short drive from our Escondido homes.

Why residents choose San Marcos

  • Quiet residential street in the Richland neighborhood
  • Backyard pool and covered patio
  • About 1.5 miles from two SPRINTER stations
  • Close to Cal State San Marcos and Palomar College

From people who've lived it

Every one of our 41 Google reviews is five stars.
  • “I have lived in three different sober living homes and this is by far my best experience. A rock solid program with great results. While living here I have met so many people with long term sobriety that have completely turned their lives around. If you are thinking about committing to sobriety there is no doubt that this is the place to be!”

  • “After coming out of inpatient rehab this place helped me build a good routine and structure in my life. The staff have been nothing but supportive and help you get your life back together by recommending good 12 step meetings and finding a new job. I would recommend this place to anyone in recovery trying to stay sober. It has a good community that supports one another and helps each other through fellowship.”

  • “I can't recommend this sober living enough. If you or a loved one is looking for a place to help transition into a clean/sober and productive lifestyle you won't find a better place or better people. When I came here I was still new in recovery and had family and legal problems. The staff and residents made sure I felt welcomed and helped to make sure all of my legal obligations were taken care of. Today my family and I are together and happy and I am grateful for my time at this sober living. We have to do the hard work ourselves but it's important to have good people around and this place made of the best!”

Questions

Sober living in San Marcos: common questions

A sober living home is a shared, alcohol- and drug-free house for people in recovery. It isn't treatment: there are no therapy sessions or medical staff on site. What it gives you is structure, accountability and a house full of people working the same program, so the habits you started in treatment have somewhere to take root.

Every home is alcohol- and drug-free, with a curfew, random drug testing and a shared household routine, including daily chores. Residents take part in a 12-step program and work with a sponsor. You'll go over the full house agreement before you move in. See how our sober living works.

We have five homes in North County San Diego. Men's homes: the Poolhouse in San Marcos, and the Skyhouse, Clubhouse and Ranchhouse in Escondido. Women's home: the Parkhouse in Escondido.
