Sober living in West Hills
Deveron Ridge sits on a full acre of West Hills horse property — genuinely unusual at sober living prices. Search for equine or ranch recovery in Los Angeles and you'll mostly find Malibu facilities charging thirty to sixty thousand a month. This is not that. It is a well-run men's recovery residence that happens to have land and animals.

Local detail
Why West Hills works.
The land
An acre is enough that someone can walk, sit outside, or be alone without leaving the property. In early recovery, having somewhere to go that isn't your bedroom matters more than it sounds.
The horses
Guests help with feeding and care. It is not clinical, it is not equine therapy, and we won't call it that — it's a reason to be up and useful before eight in the morning, which turns out to be most of the value.
Quiet
West Hills is residential, low-density and at the far western edge of the Valley. For someone who does badly in dense environments, the difference from a busy street house is immediate.
Still connected
Woodland Hills, Canoga Park and Chatsworth are all minutes away, so meetings, work and outpatient appointments stay easy to reach.

Local questions
Asked about West Hills.
Is there a sober living home with horses in Los Angeles?
Yes — Deveron Ridge, Kokoro's men's residence in West Hills, sits on a one-acre horse property. Guests help with feeding and care. It is a recovery residence with land and animals, not an equine-therapy clinic, and we're careful about that distinction.
How much does sober living in West Hills cost?
West Valley structured homes generally run $1,200 to $3,000 a month. Kokoro discusses each placement individually — private pay and program-funded placements both work here — and requires no security deposit.
Who is a horse-property sober living right for?
People who do badly in dense environments — or who need their nervous system to come down. The acre means someone can walk, sit outside, or be alone without leaving the property, and the animals give the morning a purpose.
Does Kokoro's West Hills house accept MAT?
Yes. Guests stable on prescribed buprenorphine or Vivitrol are accepted, with the full written policy published on our MAT page.
