We Are More Than Just Recovery Housing.

New Life II provides a safe place for transformation and the training to navigate difficult real-life situations with grace, hope, and triumph. We exist to serve you and provide the tools you need to build self-reliance and personal development, and to lead you on a path of health and a different life.

New Life II is a leading provider of comprehensive recovery housing and peer services for individuals in the greater New Britain area. Our ministry is a critical source of intensive, person-centered addiction recovery, combined with safe, affordable, drug-and alcohol-free housing.

We provide non-clinical, peer-to-peer support to people whose lives have been affected by addiction, incarceration, trauma, and other life changing situations. Our team is comprised of individuals who draw from their own diverse experiences and backgrounds to build meaningful relationships. Participants in our ministry come from throughout the state of Connecticut. The work we do is flexible and designed to meet the individual where they are in their recovery, with enthusiasm and understanding, and without pressure or judgment.

Core Values & Principles

Our Christian Recovery Housing provides a home-like residence with independent living. We offer individual and group sessions in a safe, drug-free environment, where individuals can learn skills needed to restore balance in the home. Our Recovery Community Center connects individuals with direct services, workshops, resources, and Peer Support services. Through hands-on leadership, life skill modeling, and educational training, those in Recovery can plan for a different and New Life.

You are not in this alone.

Many people who struggle with addiction do not begin using a substance or engaging in destructive behavior with the intent to become addicted. Rather, over time, they find themselves stuck in a cycle and feeling out of control.

At New Life II, we are not here to judge. We are here to assist you. 

Our recovery housing in New Britain, Connecticut provides safety, structure, and a foundation for a new and sustainable healthy lifestyle.

We connect you with direct support services, workshops, and peer support services. By offering you hands-on leadership, life skills, and educational training, we will equip you to navigate society successfully when you are ready for the next phase of your recovery.

It’s Not a Program, But a Process.

New Life II gives its participants more than just a plan to follow – we walk with them through their healing process with the support of a recovery community. We believe a healthy, supportive community is vital to recovery. Through peer support and training, our recovery community helps them develop the resources, personal skills, and practices necessary to re-enter society as sober, responsible, and contributing citizens. Growing these resources is the central focus of our ministry. The ultimate benefit we provide is equipping individuals in recovery to thrive in a recovery lifestyle.
