Too strict very rule oriented and militant. Missing your daily chore gets you an extra chore, sent back to their dorm room with 12 other guys, or kicked out. If you don't make 6 meetings a week or forget to write down your two outside of house meetings you have to hit 4 outside and if you fail to do that you'll be kicked out. If you are even a minute late for the 11pm curfew you'll be kicked out. They have bimonthly dish duties that are mandatory and interfere with your usual schedules because they're at 4pm which is often work hours for people. It may also take you a month to get into a room with them because of the process of being in the dorms and if for some reason you upset the staff you can be kept in the dorms even if a room is open. I would not go back to this place if it was free the stress they caused me was worse for me than any bad days I had while there because they wouldn't let up on me even after I was going through some horrible life changes.

Addiction Treatments

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Pretty much saved my life. I moved to Santa Barbara from Bakersfield looking for a sober living house and to be closer to my sponsor. I Googled and visited about 4 sober living places and after visiting several, New House 2 was the choice I was and still am happy I chose. It's a 12 step House where the really focus on sobriety. Working a program and getting a sponsor is something very important here. The food is great and the brotherhood is great as well. I've met alot after guys here that really make this alot easier then I thought. Don't get me wrong. I was a little nervous making the transition. But after a day or so, I'm very much pleased to say. New House 2 is my home.

If your looking for recovery in a sober living home it doesn t get much better than New House 2. First off the location in amazing, blocks away from the ocean and beautiful downtown Santa Barbara, making anything they don t provide (which isn t much) easily accessible. They give the perfect balance of structure and freedom I really needed in my early recovery, keeping me accountable while still being able to explore a newly sober world and self. The best part for me is having miles of waterfront seriously four blocks away making it super easy to find a beautiful, quiet spot to reflect or meditate. I seriously owe these guys my life, with out them I don t know where I would be today....

I presume Newhouse III at the corner of Bath & Quinto no longer exists? Well, that's the one I lived at for a spell a few years ago. Under the auspices of the Director Gordon Guy [he's on Facebook] and his chosen arrogant, domineering resident-managers. Men who considered themselves above reproach.I well remember frequently overhearing patently homophobic remarks whilst I lived there. I remember it very, very well. I wonder if the board of directors of New House have since decided that ethics and deportment matter.

The best place on earth to get serious about your recovery. Just the right amount of structure, coupled with immersion in meetings, literature and fellowship. Every member of the staff practices what they preach, and there is a feeling of community and camaraderie throughout the clientele. I have never had such a great experience in this type of environment, and I count myself very fortunate to have found it.

In Feb. 2018, New House took me in when no one else would. They offered me a scholarship that allowed me to stay. Since then I have been working a 12 Step program and have totally changed my life form being homeless to being a productive member of society. There staff have always been helpful as long as I communicated my needs to them. They run a clean non-toxic environment. I have personally witnessed them help hundreds of men in their pursuit of recovery from drugs and alcohol. Thank God for New House
