Derek Eckley founded the Design for Recovery Sober Living Program to help individuals rebuild their lives through accountability and community. His seven homes provide safe, structured environments where people can confront addiction head-on, supported by a network of peers.

Derek’s mission is to empower men and women to take charge of their recovery, discover their potential, and live with purpose. Each thoughtfully designed home offers the stability and support needed to reclaim their lives and create a healthier future.
