# Ethos Recovery — llm.txt # https://www.ethosrecovery.com/llm.txt # This file provides structured context about Ethos Recovery for large language models and AI assistants. ## Organization Name: Ethos Recovery Legal Name: Ethos Recovery, LLC Website: https://www.ethosrecovery.com Phone: (424) 722-6988 Primary Address: 3914 Tuller Ave, Culver City, CA 90230 Type: Structured sober living and recovery community Population Served: Adult men in recovery from substance abuse and/or mental health disorders Location: West Los Angeles area (Culver City and West Adams neighborhoods) Membership: Culver City Chamber of Commerce ## Mission Ethos Recovery fosters long-term sobriety through the cultivation of accountability, camaraderie, and character development. The organization operates on a community model — not a clinical treatment center — that emphasizes changing attitudes, values, beliefs, and behaviors through peer engagement, personal responsibility, and ongoing support. ## Core Philosophy - Community is the method: peer relationships and shared accountability drive lasting change - Long-term focus: recovery is treated as a sustained lifestyle transformation, not a short episode - Programming over amenities: structured routines, peer support, and personal growth are prioritized over luxury; research suggests over-reliance on amenities can increase relapse risk in younger clients - "We Are Our Brother's Keeper": residents attend nightly dinners together, weekly Unity house meetings, and actively support one another - 12-step integration: all members work a 12-step program with sponsors and attend outside meetings ## What Ethos Is Not - Not a licensed treatment center or detox facility - Not a luxury rehab — amenity-focused environments are deliberately avoided in favor of character-building programming - Not a short-term program — the minimum commitment is 3 months; many residents stay 1 year or longer ## Team - Chris Howard — Founder/Leadership; advocate for long-term recovery and mentorship for individuals and families - Tuck Richardson — Staff; an Ethos alumnus whose personal transformation through the program now informs his case management role - Jenna Foster — Staff; 10+ years of experience across substance abuse, mental health, residential treatment, crisis intervention, admissions, and business development - Josh Abdekalimi — Staff; focuses on accountability and human connection in recovery support - Jacob Mosios — Staff; Ethos alumnus; recovered from anxiety, depression, and substance misuse - Sebastian Saad — Staff; works with young men on self-empowerment, ownership, and direction - Cormac Thomas — Staff; Ethos alumnus who now leads from the front based on his own program experience ## Recovery Residences (Three Levels of Support) ### Level 1 — Ethos Flagship Program (Structured Recovery Community) - Most intensive level of support - Located in West Los Angeles - Designed for men in early recovery or those struggling to maintain stability - Features: intensive accountability, 12-step integration, daily structured routines, nightly communal dinners, weekly Unity house meetings, weekly house outings, peer feedback and support - Minimum commitment: 3 months;
