About Our Young Men's Sober Living in Los Angeles, CA

We’ve come a long way. New Life House has helped young men stay sober for over 35 years. We came from very humble beginnings, and would love to tell you our story of success and recovery.

Home / About

New Life House was established in 1985.

Founded in San Pedro by Perry Petacia, New Life House was formed to directly serve young men in recovery. An alcoholic himself, Perry had been through a recovery center that emphasized identifying and modifying self-sabotaging behavior.

He opened New Life House, a group of facilities for young men’s sober living in Los Angeles. With this, he had a vision of helping men abstain from alcohol and drug dependence. To add, he wanted to transform their lifestyles and teach them life skills necessary to succeed.

New Life House was relocated to Artesia Blvd. in Los Angeles, California in 1987 to continue to serve men in recovery.

At that time, only adult men were entering New Life House. In the early 1990s, many families of teenagers and young men approached New Life House to help address their son’s addictions. At the time, long-term, sober living resident services for teens and young men in Los Angeles were unavailable. Soon after admitting the younger people, certain things became apparent. The disparity in their emotional ages, social skills, and life experiences was significant enough to require different approaches for each group of men for sobriety.

In 1994, Perry separated the age groups and opened a second sober living house for men in the Torrance, California area to accommodate the older adults. New Life House’s success in working with young men began to take off once the guys began living with their own peers.

Our success and expansion.
