Mental Rebuild Lab
Workbooks and guides for the person doing the work and the family standing next to them — and the operating plans, resident documents and programming for the houses they live in. Written by one person who has been on both sides of that desk.
I'm in recovery, or someone I love is
The first 90 days, relapse warning signs, a 28-day planner, and something a family can read that actually explains what is happening.
See the recovery toolsI run a house, or I'm opening one
Real estate people teach you how to open the house. Nobody teaches you what happens inside it. This is that half.
See the operator toolsFor the person doing the work
You leave treatment with a phone number and a lot of time. These are the things I needed in that stretch and could not find anywhere — written plainly, printable, and built to be used on the day you least feel like using them.
The first day of the workbook, free. See whether the voice is one you can actually sit with before you spend anything.

For sober living house operators
Nobody teaches you what happens inside it.
They will teach you how to find the property, structure the entity, price a bed and fill it. That is real knowledge and you need it. This is the other half — the decisions that determine whether the people living in your house stay sober, which is what determines whether your beds stay full.
Free · nothing to buy inside them
What to decide before your first resident moves in.
Read it freeWhich kind of state you are in, and what to do about it.
Read it freeWhat changed on 10 August 2026, and what to do before December.
Read it freeA meeting you can actually run for residents' families.
Read it freeThese are the eleven. None of them change at a state line.
Your licensing rules change at a state line. These don't.
How many people sleep in a room, whether a sponsor can sit down in your front room, and whether a resident can reach a job without a car are the same questions in all fifty states.
About the money, since most people are not straight about it.
You should expect to make a profit. A house that does not make money closes, and a closed house helps nobody. But the order matters and almost everyone gets it backwards. It starts with helping residents stay sober. If they stay sober they stay housed, they pay rent, your treatment centres keep referring, and your beds stay full.
Recovery outcomes are not the soft part of this business. They are the business.
$97
Professional recovery programming kit. The structure that turns a house with rules into a house with a programme.
Get the Starter Pack$147
The six documents every sober living resident signs, fills in and keeps. Written to be handed to a real person on their first day.
Get the Resident Library$797
Two working sessions, and you end up with a written House Operating Plan: your answers to all eleven, a manager role description you can hire against, house rules with a consequence attached to every one, your MAT policy, visitor policy, transport plan and vehicle rules, and a referral plan built by somebody who sat on the side of the desk that decides where clients get placed.
The $97 Starter Pack and the $147 Resident Library come with it — not sold to you separately.
Book the Intensive$197 / month
Monthly curriculum, office hours and the operator directory. For houses that are open and want the programming to keep arriving.
Join the programme$497 / month
Me, directly, every month. Capped at six houses at a time so the people in it actually get me.
Enquire about a seatWho wrote all of this
I worked as a case manager at a treatment center placing clients into housing, and I have lived in a sober living house as a resident. I am in recovery myself.
Lived experience tells you how a resident thinks at two in the morning — what they will tell you and what they will never say out loud. The training tells you what to do about it. Both of those are in every page of this.
I also came out of treatment with nothing. No money, no job, no car, no clothes. I was homeless when I went in. Roughly three out of four people leaving treatment are in the same position — and if your house is designed for somebody with a car and a bank balance, it is designed for a resident who is not coming.
Be clear about this before you buy anything
Not ready to buy anything
Tell me where you are and I'll tell you what I'd do first — even if the answer is that you don't need me yet.
I'd rather you ran a good house than bought the wrong thing from me.
