Addictions we treat
At New Life House, we support clients who are recovering from a wide range of addictions. Our sober living program is designed to meet you where you are, providing structure, accountability, and community as you build a healthier, substance free life. We tailor support based on each client’s unique needs. These are the substances we treat in our program:
Alcohol
While alcohol is commonly used to relax or socialize, addiction can develop when drinking begins to interfere with daily life or becomes hard to control.
Opioid
While often prescribed for pain relief, opioid use can lead to unhealthy dependence as the body begins to crave more, making it difficult to function without them.
Stimulant
Used for energy or focus, stimulants can become addictive when the need for increased doses leads to restlessness, disrupted sleep, or difficulty slowing down.
Benzodiazepine
Prescribed for anxiety or sleep, benzodiazepines can cause dependence when tolerance builds, making it hard to relax or feel stable without the medication.
Cannabis
Many assume cannabis is harmless or low risk, but addiction can develop when usage starts interfering with daily life — like neglecting responsibilities, using more than intended, or struggling to quit.
Whippits / inhalant
Using nitrous oxide (“whippits”) may seem like a light, fleeting high — but addiction can take hold when repeated inhalation causes memory problems, coordination issues, or risky behavior.
Methadone
Even though methadone is used for opioid treatment, dependence can emerge when the body begins to rely on it, making tapering or stopping difficult without professional support.
Fentanyl
Often used medically for pain, fentanyl’s extreme potency can lead to rapid dependence. What starts as prescribed use can spiral into compulsive use, cravings, and life disruption.
Kratom
Kratom is sometimes marketed as a “natural” pain reliever, but its compounds act on opioid receptors, meaning long-term use can lead to dependence, tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, muscle aches, and insomnia.
Prescription drugs
Prescription medications — even when taken as directed — can become a source of dependence. Addiction may look like escalating dosages, anxiety about running out, or struggling to stop even when health or relationships suffer.
Gambling
Gambling can start as harmless recreation, but addiction develops when the urge to gamble outweighs financial risk, emotional well-being, or relationships. It often involves chasing losses or constantly thinking about the next bet.
Porn
What begins as occasional viewing can become compulsive when pornography use starts interfering with intimacy, personal goals, or mental health — and resisting urges leads to distress or relapse.
Social media
Social media can begin as a way to connect or relax, but addiction can take root when scrolling becomes compulsive, mood depends on engagement, or time spent online interferes with real-life responsibilities.
