Design for Change is a sober living program in Lancaster, California, founded in the 2020s. It offers stays of under 30 days and is set up for pregnant women working on recovery from stimulant use. Transportation is provided as part of the program, which can ease a barrier for people arranging care while managing other responsibilities.

The program is offered at no cost through state funding and is one of a small number of nearby facilities that accept ComPsych insurance. Among 22 facilities in the surrounding area, it is also one of just a few that provide sober living, serve pregnant women, or treat stimulant use, making it a narrower option for people whose needs fall into these categories.
