Welcome to the New Beginnings Sober Living House website!

Affordable Sober Living

Sober living homes are affordable, alcohol and drug free environments that provide a positive place for peer group recovery support. Sober housing promotes individual recovery by providing an environment that allows the residents to develop individual recovery programs and become self-supporting.

Sober living communities provide recovering adults with an environment where they can support one another in maintaining their sobriety and where they can help one another work towards lifelong recovery.

The typical sober living home is a single-family residence, duplex or multiunit complex located in a quiet residential neighborhood. The residents are required to follow a strict set of house rules. Violation of the rules can result in assessment of minor financial fines, writing an essay, to immediate ejection from the house.

Zero Tolerance

The single most common rule is a zero tolerance for drugs and alcohol. Most sober living homes do random or surprise drug and alcohol testing. Other zero tolerance rules include, violence, threats of violence, fighting, harassment, theft, sex on the premises and unexcused absence or violation of curfews.

Each resident is required to be financially self-supporting, paying their own rent, and purchasing their own food. The residents are required to work, actively seek employment, or be a student enrolled in an accredited academic or trade school. Those who are permanently disabled and on federal, state, or local assistance are required to become involved in service to the home or the community. All residents are required to attend a minimum number of weekly 12 step meetings, such as Alcoholics Anonymous.

House Operations

Each resident performs an assigned daily chore around the house. A well-run house is cleaned from top to bottom each day. There are no dirty dishes left in the sink, clothes, or towels lying around.
