Substance Use Aftercare & Sober Living

Structured and transitional living environments

When it comes to substance use and mental health treatment, research shows that long-term care is most effective for recovery — a principle reflected in the exceptional outcomes achieved by our aftercare and sober living providers. With hyperspecialized and age-specific programming, New Life House‘s sober living network offers a variety of options that address individual needs for the best outcomes possible. As industry leaders, our structured aftercare programs not only teach residents how to remain substance free, but also address underlying mental health issues, foster life skills, and take a holistic approach for sustained well-being.

Aftercare is a crucial part of the recovery journey, often representing the difference between long-term recovery and repeated treatment attempts. While the initial treatment process is important, learning to apply life skills in an ongoing setting, remaining connected to a supportive community, and continuing to address underlying mental health issues are necessary pieces of the long-term recovery puzzle. For young adults specifically, developing, practicing, and successfully applying life skills is an often missed component of lasting success.

YBH is proud to represent these pioneers of structured, age-specific sober living who have successfully helped young men recover from alcohol and drug use for over 35 years. Our aftercare program has one of the most robust, active alumni communities and support programs in the recovery world. Plus, our approach ensures young men can continue to develop their education while receiving care so they can get back on an academic or career-ready path.

Is sober living right for my loved one?

Sober living provides accountability, peer support, and access to resources, which can be life-changing for those with a history of substance use. Sober living may be the best fit for your loved one if they:

  • Have a history of substance use.
  • Have a co-occuring mental health condition and/or have “failed to launch.”
  • Need ongoing support, life skills, and a supportive community to maintain sobriety.
  • Are transitioning from inpatient treatment and/or need to gradually reintegrate into everyday life.
  • Are seeking connection, understanding, and motivation during their recovery journey.
