Flexible Care Options for Every Stage

New Life Recovery Centers offers multiple levels of care, including supervised detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), and its flexible Super Flex IOP. The IOP allows clients to mix and match morning, afternoon, or evening sessions, making treatment possible while maintaining work, school, or family responsibilities. This range of options ensures care can adapt as recovery needs change.

Blending Evidence-Based and Holistic Therapies

The program combines therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention with holistic practices like mindfulness, yoga, and art therapy. Individual, group, and family counseling are built into treatment, along with life skills workshops that prepare clients for long-term stability. The dual focus on clinical and whole-person care addresses both substance use and co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma.

Home-Like Setting with Restorative Amenities

The center emphasizes a grounded, welcoming atmosphere instead of a clinical feel. Clients have access to amenities such as air-conditioned rooms, outdoor lounges, gourmet meals prepared onsite, and a fitness center. Flexible technology policies, gender-specific groups, and accommodations for special diets create a supportive environment tailored to individual needs.

Lifelong Support and Alumni Community

Recovery continues after treatment through a robust alumni program that includes weekly groups, relapse-prevention workshops, sober social events, and mentorship opportunities. Alumni maintain free lifetime access to these resources, building a peer network that reinforces accountability and connection. This long-term support is a cornerstone of the facility’s approach, helping clients sustain recovery across San Jose, Silicon Valley, and the broader Bay Area.
