We have structured a comprehensive, no nonsense recovery program that offers a positive atmosphere conducive to recovery, group counseling, in-house meetings, meditation, education sessions, individual attention and growth schedule based on all aspects of recovery.  Our treatment team is dedicated to providing the best possible care for each individual during their stay at New Found Life. We offer:

Psychiatric care-   At New Found Life we recognize balance in all areas is crucial to recovery. Although chemical dependence is the primary diagnosis for each resident, our psychiatrist is available to evaluate depression, bipolar disease, anxiety disorders and other commonly occurring disorders on an as needed basis.

Individual and group counseling-  Sessions and groups with our trained counselors help you to explore behaviors, issues, and personal triggers that have in the past lead to substance abuse.  Through this healing process you can come to terms with these issues and learn how to address them through the 12-steps without the use of alcohol and drugs.

Introduction to 12-step groups-   As the cornerstone of our program, you will attend outside 12-Step meetings, meditation, book-studies and in-house meetings as part of your treatment plan. You will also have the opportunity to get a sponsor and take the steps.  Learning how to incorporate a 12-step program into your life is necessary for long-term sobriety.  The outside meetings acquaint you with the fellowship available to you beyond treatment. This is an important element in assisting your transition to life outside the safety and structure of a treatment facility.

A positive and supportive environment-   Our homes, located in a beautiful area overlooking the ocean, provide a serene setting that is conducive to recovery.  Our staff, all of whom have personal recovery experience, welcome you to a safe and supportive environment. You can focus on the healing process, knowing that you are not alone and that there are other survivors.  Moreover, Long Beach has an outstanding network of meetings and fellowship, providing additional recovery support. 

Education and study sessions-  These groups cover many areas of education including: drug and alcohol awareness, health awareness and education, yoga, life skills, assertiveness training, job-search skills, and relationship skills.  The return of your physical well being is only the first step to recovery, and our educational groups round out our treatment services so you can build a foundation for spiritual, psychological and social wellness. 

Individual attention - Our facility offers a small and intimate setting to start the process of changing your life.  You will be assigned your own counselor who develops a treatment plan with you and works with you throughout your stay to achieve the goals outlined in your plan. 

Progressive personal and group responsibility-
As part of New Found Life’s motivational therapy, residents are given opportunities to assume certain responsibilities for their recovery.  This method helps you to develop a new sense of respect for yourself and others, builds self-esteem and teaches the importance of working together to accomplish goals.

Continuing care-  We offer continuing care to provide support for you after treatment at New Found Life. This includes weekly process groups, step studies, speaker meetings, and social activities for residents who have completed the program at New Found Life.  Additional counseling is also available.

Family participation-  Alcoholism and other drug dependency is an illness that has a profound effect on both the individual and his/her family.  At New Found Life we offer family members an opportunity to learn about the disease and begin their own process of healing through family education groups, family meetings and Al-anon.
