Whatever brought you here, welcome. Puente House is more than a place to live; it’s a place to rebuild. And the admissions process? We keep it simple, honest, and human, just like everything else we do.
At Puente House, we offer gender-specific sober living homes in Covina designed to meet the unique needs of both men and women in early recovery. Our men’s and women’s sober living houses provide safe, structured environments where residents can focus on rebuilding their lives with support, accountability, and community. Each home is located in a quiet, residential neighborhood in the San Gabriel Valley, just minutes from meetings, public transit, and local job opportunities, making it an ideal setting for long-term success in sobriety.
Who is a Good Fit for Puente House?

We offer transitional housing after rehabilitation, designed for individuals who require structured recovery support to stay on track. This includes those who seek accountability, community, and the opportunity to live in a clean, supportive environment.
