We are a not for profit active sober community center for men. Our mission is to empower men to create their own unique sustainable recovery.

Why We Do

The reason Pura Vida Recovery exists is to help save lives and empower men to take control of their recovery. Many people relapse after leaving treatment, 60-90 percent will never achieve long-term sobriety. It is our goal to provide a sustainable community, built upon connection to ensure that our members maintain long-term sobriety.

How We Are Different

We provide a platform for a progression of sobriety, building and sustaining a new way of living. We offer continuous, all encompassing programs and services to better serve people seeking sobriety. There is no end date, there is no graduation; men from all walks of life, from all stages of recovery are welcome to participate and join our community.
