Your Bridge to
Independent Living
Structured transitional residences in Huntington Beach providing accountability, community, and continued support as you rebuild your life in sobriety.
The Critical
Transition Phase
The transition from treatment back to daily life is one of the most vulnerable periods in recovery. Our sober living program provides the structured support, accountability, and community you need during this critical phase.
Located in beautiful Huntington Beach neighborhoods, our residences offer a safe, substance-free environment where you can practice the skills learned in treatment while gradually rebuilding independence — finding employment, reconnecting with family, and establishing healthy routines.
Residents benefit from continued clinical support through our outpatient programs, regular house meetings, peer accountability, and access to the broader New Existence Recovery alumni community.
