About Community Social Model Advocates Hobie House

David J. Riordan's Hobie House, located in Merced, California, offers residential treatment for men with substance use concerns. Established in 1991 as part of Community Social Model Advocates Inc, this 25-bed facility provides a structured, clean, and sober environment for men aged 18 and older seeking recovery from alcohol and drug addiction. The program addresses co-occurring mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and trauma, offering comprehensive assessments, individual and group counseling sessions, and discharge planning to support clients throughout their recovery journey.
Hobie House takes a social model approach, emphasizing learning through "doing" and "experiencing," with positive role modeling from staff who are themselves in recovery. Clients also engage in biweekly 12-Step meetings with other residents. This peer-oriented environment fosters mutual respect and self-reflection, allowing clients to benefit from the shared experiences, strength, and hope of fellow individuals in recovery.
Additionally, Hobie House offers same-day admissions, family days each Sunday, recreational and social activities, job readiness training, and referrals to community resources, all within a home-like setting that promotes a sense of well-being and comfort during the recovery process. Community Social Model Advocates offers aftercare sober housing for graduates of the residential program.
