New Life House

At New Life House, we want to help you achieve your life goals and long­-term sobriety with the tools and foundation you’ve already acquired. Leaving a residential, inpatient, or outpatient treatment environment is often more challenging than expected. You’ve changed, but the people, places, and things around you haven’t.

Monthly fees at Tharros include food for all meals and snacks, transportation by our team in commercially insured SUVs, all activities, Tharros groups, and peer mentoring support. At Teras, we offer structured sober living with flexible structure to meet the needs of those returning to family, work, school, or other commitments. At Teras, our experienced team, plus ancillary providers, provide a high level of support for clients to take action in a recovery fellowship, and engage outside structure. Our experience has been that once our clients arrive at New Life House, they understand and feel the benefits. You are not locked in to any long term agreements, but we do ask that you come planning to stay for at least 60 days. After your initial period at Tharros, you may wish to explore our less structured home, Teras.

New Life House has a great number of resources and we can refer you to therapists, programs, and licensed professionals as needed. Perhaps you have a connection with a therapist or life coach that you want to continue. We encourage you to keep what works and add resources where it will benefit your recovery. There are no referral fees and our vetted licensed professionals accept a variety of insurances. We have the sole goal of connecting you with the providers who will help you the most -­ Period. The ability to spend 6 months to a year in a supportive environment allows you to learn more about yourself and your addiction.

New Life House

At New Life House, we combine a sober community with aftercare, assisting our clients as they acquire new skills to meet life’s challenges in a fresh and encouraging way. Our mission is to help our clients achieve long-term recovery, move on from feelings of shame, and learn how to live a fulfilled life. Our sober living home reinforces honesty and integrity as we provide support along the journey to cultivating a new, constructive and optimistic sober lifestyle. With more than 50 years of recovery experience, our team understands what you’re going through and we want to help you love life again. Not all sober living homes are the same and in fact beyond the differences in “amenities”, there are many other important factors to consider.

Restorative Treatments

  1. Whatever your primary treatment method, you’ve had a great start because your body is now free of alcohol and drugs.
  2. With a focus on holistic wellness, New Life House provides a range of services and amenities designed to promote mindfulness and self-care.
  3. The proper support, combined with a safe environment and first hand know-how will guide you to experience a new way of being and behaving.
  4. The road to recovery from alcoholism and addiction requires significant emotional, behavioral, and intellectual changes.

Teras, also located in Lexington MA, offers a less structured, but still supportive model of high standards sober living. Teras is located two miles away from Tharros (both Tharros and Teras are in Lexington MA). This less structured residence is designed to support clients when they have 25+ hours of work or other outside structure weekly, which can be developed with assistance from our team, in the first 30 days. If you have many outside commitments, or are ready to return to work, Teras can be a good entry point directly from treatment.

That’s why we encourage our clients to consider staying 6 months to one year. At New Life House, we take a custom approach to each client, New Life House Review starting with a full understanding of each client’s needs and goals. Our team connects with each client’s clinical providers to help understand what supports are needed before he arrives at Tharros. With 24/7 management and support, we can help you find an appropriate job, connect with the recovery community through volunteer opportunities and activities, find the right treatment resources, and build a foundation in sobriety. Learning to live a happy life free of alcohol and drugs takes time,  but you can do it if you want to. Teras, our flexible structure home, offers a lower cost model for those ready to return to work, and who have their own transportation.

For others, after 1-6 months at Tharros, clients may choose to transition to Teras. A study of 300 individuals whom resided in Sober Living Homes (SLH) was published in 2010 by a division of the NIH (National Institute of Health) (Douglas L. Polcin, 2010). That study found that freestanding SLH’s offer enough structure, with no formal treatment, creating an optimal environment for residents ready for the next step. SLH’s provide an environment for individuals capable of handling a fair amount of autonomy and wish to take personal responsibility for their recovery. With a focus on holistic wellness, New Life House provides a range of services and amenities designed to promote mindfulness and self-care.

Support Design and Implementation

Our community offers extensive structure, much of which is optional. At Teras, clients work with their on-site case manager and our vocational coach to develop a recovery fellowship and engage work. Clients of Teras may also be involved in outpatient treatment while they develop a foundation in their recovery work, and apply to work positions. After 30 days, clients are expected to be employed while they continue progress in their recovery work. They continue to meet with their case manager weekly and participate in community support activities.
