Surfside

an adventure-based addiction recovery environment for men + families who need something different.

Surfside Structured Sober Living is located just blocks from the ocean in the heart of Ventnor City, New Jersey. This New Jersey Sober House is a structured sober living environment for young men ages 18-35 as they transition from addiction treatment through recovery into a new life. Rooted in the 12 steps, we use an array of tools and activities to help young men and their families rebuild, rediscover and recover. Our Structured Sober Living program serves addicts/alcoholics and their families in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland and Delaware.

🇺🇸 We want to acknowledge the Veterans at Surfside who proudly served our country.

Their service shaped the way they see the world, support other men, and advocate for mental health support/resources.

Please help us recognize AND THANK Scott Phillips, Grayson Powell, and Frank Greenagel for their service. 🙏🏼

This is why we’re constantly evolving.
This is why we believe movement opens the door to meaningful relationships.

Here’s two men who passed through Surfside at totally different times.
One is visiting from out of town, the other planted roots here after graduation.

By building community during their time with us, they always have a “home” to return to.

These two met at and put together a new climbing route.
This is why we build + grow - because witnessing revolutionary change is a gift.

Last night, Ian & Alyssa joined hundreds of other grateful Caron supporters at the Caron Philadelphia Awards Gala.

It’s an honor to celebrate their life-changing work and support their fundraising efforts. But our favorite part is reconnecting with folks from who have laid the foundation for so many of the men who walk through our doors.

What you don’t see is as important as what you do.

What you DO see is a group of guys sending it. Making something really difficult look easy.

What you DON’T see is what actually transpired:
🧗‍♂️ Two guys who tried the climbing wall for the first time, surrounded by a supportive + nonjudgmental group
💬 Friends pointing out stuff the climber can’t see - a more efficient foothold, a better place for their hand
💥 The encouragement for someone who’s ALMOST done with a route, but can’t quite grab the last hold

The pictures are cool, but the experience is 100x more rewarding.
The joy is in the journey.

💡DID YOU KNOW:
A 2023 meta-analysis of over 128,000 study participants revealed that PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN ANY FORM can meaningfully reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mental distress?

ANY physical activity means it’s not limited to certain type of movement, like resistance training or yoga. It’s *ANY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.*

🧑🏽‍💻We summarized the study (and linked it in its entirety) on our website.

Today Antonio Pensa (AKA Tony) celebrates FIVE YEARS of recovery! 🕺🏻

Antonio’s transformation is amazing to watch, and he brings so much humor to the day-to-day. He has a true knack for making people feel comfortable when anxiety is high and life feels overwhelming.

This year he’s been chipping away at a Master’s degree AND recently got engaged. What a gift!
Help us congratulate him 😊

A handful of staff, residents and alumni are competing in the 2025 CrossFit Open. 🏋🏽

Some of these guys train 5-6 days a week to be competitive athletes, while others are simply stepping outside of their comfort zone.

Regardless of training or skill, at the end of the open, we will know a few things to be true:
1. We kept our word and finished something we started.
2. It was GUARANTEED that we were not going to win this comp, but we did it anyway. We didn’t avoid something simply because we weren’t going to be the best.
3. We refused to let fear or anxiety stop us. We outperformed everyone else who never even gave it a shot.

Here’s to the final workout, which will be released on Thursday!

🕺🏼Today our Founder Ian Koch celebrates TWENTY YEARS of sobriety!

The greatest gift of Getting Sober Young is Getting Old Sober (➡️swipe to see what that looks like)

Two days after his 23rd birthday, a broken kid asked for help.

Because he took a little action, these promises have come true:
We’re less interested in our “little plans and designs,” and instead we’re interested in seeing what we can contribute to life.
We enjoy peace of mind.
We discover we can face life successfully.
We’ve begun to lose the fear of today, tomorrow, and the hereafter.

Help us congratulate Bryan Morris, who celebrates two years of recovery today!

Bryan is part of our incredible team of Support Staff - these are the guys who show up nights, weekends, holidays, and when the rest of the world is sleeping peacefully. He’s often the person talking to someone who can’t sleep, or coaching the crew through a challenging CrossFit workout. Help us wish him a happy anniversary!

A few days of warm Spring weather calls for paintball at Camp Surfside! 🏕️

Our Private 11-acre campsite is tucked into the middle of nowhere, about 20 minutes from . We load the van with our paintball gear and trek out to the site, where we built our own paintball field.

Sometimes early recovery feels like life is kicking us while we’re down. There’s power in doing stuff that makes us feel like a kid again - friendly competition and a lot of laughter. Don’t knock it til you try it.😊
