We understand you might have questions or hesitations about joining a sober living community. Here are some common concerns and how New Roots addresses them:

“Is New Roots really a sober home?”
Yes — absolutely. New Roots Sober Living is a true recovery-based program. Every resident is required to maintain complete sobriety, follow strict house rules, and participate in regular drug testing. Our homes are managed by trained, sober house managers who lead by example and ensure a safe, supportive environment for everyone.

“Are people serious about recovery?”
They are. Each person who joins New Roots is here because they want real change. Our community is built on accountability, respect, and personal growth — residents encourage each other and work together to stay on track. It’s a place where everyone is focused on moving forward.

“Can I find work nearby?”
Yes. Our locations in Mastic Beach, NY, and surrounding areas are close to local businesses and job opportunities. Many residents work in the community and have had success finding steady employment while living at New Roots.

“Is transportation or shopping nearby?”
Absolutely. Bus routes, grocery stores, and other essentials are within walking distance of the house. We make sure residents can easily get to work, appointments, and meetings without needing a car.
