Called looking for help, was met with an extremely rude person, Alan. He was extremely discouraging and judgmental towards someone he has never met. Said “that’s what they all say”, When i said I had interviews coming up, and discussing the rent. Would not recommend this place to anyone trying to get back on their feet. I’m not judging how the place is ran, but that was a horrible phone interview/ first impression and made me sick to my stomach. ONLY cared about MONEY! May I say here I am Months later at a different sober house .. Doing amazing and was blessed to meet a sober house who didn't judge or show prejudice and cared as much about me as I do! I had interviews, I had things lined up, and accomplished my short term goals. Well to you Alan, Godspeed my friend.

When I reached out to the owner, Allen, of the Cleveland House he was such a breath of fresh air to an exhausted, overwhelmed, and tired family member searching for a quality sober living house for her loved one. He truly cares and it shows as he was always there for any questions and made follow up calls to check in on our ever changing situation. Our loved one is now in a safe, structured, nurturing, supportive environment and doing amazing after being so broken. I highly recommend the Cleveland House Sober Living in Fort Lauderdale.

I stayed at the Cleveland house for over years. It helped me when I needed it most. Alan, who runs the place, helped me, like he’s helped so many before. I am proud to call him a friend.

Hi I currently live in the Cleveland House and i must say after 10 years of living in Sober Living it is not only the cleanest but most modern and updated house iv ever lived in! The house its self is a masterpiece of modern architectural design. All brand new appliances and amenity's. Beds are plush and soft with egg crates, walk in closets and with a 3rd floor veranda overlooking the beautiful New River in downtown Fort Lauderdale, and a view of the skyline. Close to everything you need including .25 miles to Publix grocery store and River Walk to Las Olas. Allen is an amazing human being who generally cares for his tenants and keeps us accountable which something i need to live clean and sober. Its great to see a place like this available to men in recovery! When the status quo is to cram as many people as legally possible into a small space to turn a profit. Where as with Allen and Cleveland house its absolute privilege to be apart of and opportunity to be grateful to be apart of such a fine program!

Probably the nicest sober living house in South Florida. 3 stories, TV's in every bedroom, nice great room with huge TV, beautiful modern kitchen and 3 fridges for 10 guys. 1/4 mile from the Riverwalk in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Alan, the owner, genuinely cares about his guys, and is always there for support. I spent 8 great months there and have nothing but good things to say.

I am greatly appreciative of the opportunity that was provided to me by Cleveland House. The home itself is very well maintained and closely located to a plethora of businesses and food options. Alan (Owner) is truly invested in your recovery and has a unique way of holding individuals accountable, THAT WORKS! I will forever be greatful!

This place took me in at the last moment, despite the difficulties that were currently happening in my life Alan was very welcoming, and we continue to check on me throughout the weeks that I first moved in, making sure that I was walking the straight line that he knew from experience That it takes to stay sober to really begin to build a life with a strong foundation that’s worthy of passing on to other alcoholics. I can never thank him enough, and I would recommend this place to anybody who struggles with addiction and alcoholism. It’s a beautiful place with necessary structure. It takes to reconstruct your life after many years of use thank you Alan for everything and continue to help others drinks.

Probably hands down one of the best sober living homes in Fort Lauderdale, 5 star living nestled in the fabulous upscale Tarpon river neighborhood. The Cleavland house checks all the boxes, a clean safe, and sober environment. When looking for a sober living home there is no other place that holds a candle to the Cleavland house. So glad I found this place, and I guarantee you will too.
