Frequently asked New Life House questions
Read through our FAQ for any questions you may have or give us a call today. We are here to answer your questions and support you or your loved one through their healing journey.
What makes New Life House different?
New Life House offers age-specific sober living for young men. By living with peers who are in similar life stages and facing similar challenges, you can develop meaningful connections and receive accountability that strengthens your recovery.
Additionally, our recovery community is what makes New Life House special. We have been around for over 40 years, and during that time, we have cultivated an active alumni community that hosts events and stays involved with the program. At any given time, there are graduates still coming around who have 5, 10, and even 15 or more years of sobriety.
Why age-specific?
One of the foundational tenants of New Life House is our focus on age-specific recovery. Often, young adults are placed in sober living environments with individuals much older than them, who have radically different life circumstances to contend with. We find that by surrounding young men with healthy peers, they are able to relate, build a powerful community, and enjoy long-lasting friendships and support as they move forward in their lives.
Do you focus on life skills?
For young men struggling with substance abuse, mental health, or failure to launch, missing life skills are one of the biggest pieces of the puzzle.
Our program addresses these issues by teaching practical skills such as budgeting, cleaning, cooking, and time management. These life skills prepare you for long-term independence.
What kind of clinical support do you offer?
Through our partnerships with Clear Behavioral Health and Neuro Wellness Spa, residents have access to psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, licensed therapists, medication management, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy, and a therapeutic outpatient program that focuses on emotional growth, accountability, and building tools for sustainable recovery.
Whether your primary struggle is substance abuse or mental health, our recovery model ensures you receive the care and support you need to heal both.
Is there academic or educational support?
From finishing high school to higher education, one on one attention, diverse educational pathways, and a dedicated Director of Education make the New Life House academic program a source of guidance, structure and support that enables our residents to move forward academically.
How about jobs and employment support?
Entering and navigating the workforce in recovery carries its own set of challenges, all of which New Life House helps you address. From the process and skills involved with actually finding, preparing for and interviewing for a great fitting job, to achieving the best work performance possible, you are set up for success.
How are families involved?
Family involvement is a cornerstone of our approach. Families participate in our 90-Day New Family Program, bi-weekly family groups, ongoing Parent Guide mentorship, and family events designed to foster healing and communication.
We also offer opportunities for you to go on passes with your family so you can work on rebuilding those relationships little by little.
What continuing care or alumni support is offered?
Graduates stay connected through alumni programming, including weekly house meetings, mentorship opportunities, group outings, and ongoing fellowship that reinforces long-term sobriety.
Who makes up the treatment and support team?
You will benefit from a holistic team that includes house managers, program directors, and educational mentors who have gone through the same process, as well as therapeutic staff through our clinical partners. This team works together to provide structure, accountability, and emotional support.

Hear from our families:
“I am so grateful to be a part of this Los Angeles sober living community! When I first got here I was so wrapped up in fear. Fear of life, fear of people and fear of society. I hated who I was and felt worthless to the world.
Thanks to New Life House I have been able to face my reality and become the man I have always wanted to be. I found a purpose in life and for that I am forever grateful for the New Life community. Thank you for my sobriety and for my life today!”
