New House III

Located in the beautiful, waterfront town of Santa Barbara, California, New House III is a recovery support home for men, allowing them to live in a safe, comfortable environment while they work on their sobriety.

Teamwork is the central theme at this facility, and everyone who works there believes that recovery is a real, achievable goal. This is because everyone on the staff is a client himself. They’re all working together to eliminate distractions, learn as much as possible, and build one another up as they work toward this common aim. They share household duties, eat together, and engage in recreational activities.

While the facility doesn’t offer on site treatment options, a local 12 step recovery group meets there regularly. Clients must attend these meetings and secure a 12 step sponsor. In addition, they are encouraged to leave the facility to attend other kinds of outpatient services, such as addiction counseling, as needed. As soon as they’re physically and mentally capable, they also seek employment outside the facility to earn money, build their self-esteem, and develop responsible habits.

Clients can stay at the facility as long as they need to. Most spend between six and 12 months there before reintegrating into their homes and workplaces. Once they’ve been in the program for at least six months, clients can also move into the nearby Grad House. This is a similar residence that offers a higher level of independence and autonomy.

Reviews of this facility are glowing, with many clients crediting it for saving their lives and families. They mention the sense of brotherhood that permeates the building, and how the program helped them make friends for life. They acknowledge that the residence is very structured, but note that this is exactly what they needed as they took the first steps toward recovery.

Outpatient

Clients receiving treatment at an outpatient rehab typically do not require hospitalization or intensive supervision and support. Outpatient addiction counseling and recovery education are often offered during the morning, evening, night, and weekend, allowing clients to tailor treatment to their own schedule. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs are the most time-intensive and are designed for clients who are at an increased relapse risk and/or who need more robust therapeutic support.

Aftercare Support

12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.
