We’re Family-Owned & You’re Family-Treated
New Found Life has always been a family-owned establishment, and the value we place on family is reflected in our treatment programming. While in our care, patients become an integral part of our ever-expanding family. We recognize that true healing encompasses more than just the individual in treatment; it’s about mending relationships with loved ones as well. The goal of our family programming is to initiate and solidify recovery for the entire family unit.

Gender-Specific Treatment Programs


Men and women often face unique challenges in addiction recovery. That’s why we offer gender-specific treatment programs at our rehab centers in Long Beach, CA designed to address the emotional, psychological, and social needs of each individual in a comfortable, supportive environment.
For women, our program provides a safe space to heal from trauma, build self-esteem, and develop healthy relationships. Many women in recovery benefit from addressing issues like co-dependency, body image, and family dynamics with providers who deeply understand their experiences.
Similarly, our men’s program focuses on challenges such as emotional expression, societal pressures, and accountability, helping them build resilience and healthy coping mechanisms. By separating treatment by gender, we reduce distractions, foster deeper connections, and allow participants to focus entirely on their recovery journey.

Seamless Admissions:Starting Your Recovery at New Found Life
Starting addiction treatment is a significant step, and we strive to make the admissions process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Our goal is to provide a calm, efficient intake experience, allowing you to focus on your recovery journey from day one. We begin with a confidential consultation to understand your individual needs, discuss your medical and substance use history, and assess any co-occurring mental health conditions. This consultation helps determine which level of care is right for your needs, and answers any questions you may have.
Our team will then assist you with verifying your health insurance coverage and exploring available treatment options. We’ll navigate the complexities of insurance plans and discuss any out-of-pocket expenses or co-pays. If detox centers are required, we’ll coordinate care with trusted facilities in the Long Beach and Southern California area, including financial arrangements and travel.
Finally, we’ll coordinate your admission to our Long Beach treatment facility, ensuring a smooth transition into our supportive community. Upon arrival, you’ll be warmly welcomed by our staff and introduced to other clients, becoming part of the New Found Life family.

Successful recovery from substance use disorders extends far beyond your time with us. We collaborate closely with you to develop a personalized aftercare plan that addresses your individual needs and goals, ensuring a smooth and successful transition back into your daily life.

This personalized roadmap for your recovery journey encompasses several key elements, including continued participation in 12-step programs (like AA) with an active sponsor, a return to a safe and supportive living environment, and relapse prevention strategies. We assist with aftercare planning, which may involve ongoing outpatient treatment, sober living arrangements, continued therapy, and connection to additional mental health professionals. We also support your return to education or employment, helping you develop a plan for vocational or academic pursuits.
Our robust alumni network provides a valuable source of ongoing support, connection, and fellowship, offering guidance and encouragement as you navigate your recovery journey and build a new found life.
