One of the primary benefits we offer our residents is there is no set limit to the length of residency. We understand the importance of allowing them to work on your recovery at their own pace. In the early 1990s, many families of teenagers and young men approached New Beginning Recovery to help address their son’s addictions. At the time, long-term, sober living resident services for teens and young men in Los Angeles were unavailable. Soon after admitting the younger people, certain things became apparent. The disparity in their emotional ages, social skills, and life experiences was significant enough to require different approaches for each group of men for sobriety.
