At New Beginning Sanctuary NC, we offer a safe and supportive environment for people who want to start or continue their recovery journey. Our sober living program is based on the principles of the Alcoholics Anonymous 12-step Program, utilizing The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous as a guide to help individuals rebuild their lives and stay sober with the support of others. We focus on faith, personal growth, and building a strong, sober community. Whether you're just starting out or looking for a fresh start, our program is here to guide you every step of the way.
How We Will Help You
Men and women come into one of our large homes to become stable and work towards sobriety. Over time, with positive behavior, maturity, and financial stability, participants can earn the opportunity to become leaders and house managers and help others who are coming into the program gain the same success. This has shown to be crucial for people in recovery.
Our Homes
Each of our homes is truly a home with decor, furnishings, and a television in each room. A washer and dryer are provided on site, and a full kitchen with two or three refrigerators and ample pantry space makes for a comfortable and accommodating experience. Additionally, we have an open door policy for anyone who would like to drop in to see how we operate day-to-day. We welcome everyone to see how the homes operate normally, not just when someone is visiting.
What We Expect
All residents are expected to keep their personal areas clean, and do their share of chores to keep the house clean organized and inviting at all times.
We are not a lockdown facility. Our residents are expected to maintain employment, attend classes, improve themselves, maintain sobriety, attend religious services, if they choose, and try and volunteer to give back to the community. We will hold residents accountable for their actions with zero tolerance for drugs, alcohol, fighting, or stealing. We expect all residents to pay weekly fees and to stay current or ahead on their bills.
We believe it is of great value for people to learn financial responsibiltiy and self-sufficiency. Both are essential to success in the community and all areas of life. When participants come into the program they agree to the program rules regarding community living, sobriety, and fees. They make a commitment to the program, other participants, and themselves. When participants fail to honor their commitment in one area, it impacts the others.
For example, a resident drinking or using while in the program puts others at risk for relapse. A resident not paying their fees can also hurt others in the home if the program cannot meet basic expenses. It is also disrespectful to expect that others in the program will take on the expense while one or two people have no responsibility. That sets up a very unhealthy dynamic in the home and program.
WHAT YOU GET AS PART OF YOUR FEES
Our program is self-funded, meaning the fees paid by our residents help cover all the essential costs to keep everything running smoothly. These fees cover rent, utilities, internet, cable, maintenance, repairs, trash service, appliances, lawn care, insurance, linens, furniture, paper supplies, and administrative expenses. We make sure you have everything you need to focus on your recovery, without having to worry about the basics. This includes daily chores, support from our dedicated house managers, and all the services necessary to help you stay sober and thrive in a safe, supportive environment.
