RESIDENT PHASE SYSTEM

Our Structured Housing Model

At New Day Sober Living, we believe structure creates freedom.

Our housing model is intentionally aligned with level of care — allowing residents to move from stabilization to independence in a clear, supportive progression. Each housing level increases responsibility, accountability, and privileges as residents grow in recovery.

Residents advance by meeting the expectations of their current level and demonstrating readiness for the next.

🟢 PHP House

Stabilization & Assimilation

Our PHP House is designed for residents participating in Partial Hospitalization Programming (PHP) or early-stage stabilization.

The focus during this phase is safety, structure, and integration into the recovery community.

Key Expectations:

  • Obtain a sponsor within 7 days

  • Begin working a program of recovery

  • Attend all required clinical programming

  • Attend weekly house meetings

Structure:

  • Weekday Curfew: 9:00 PM

  • Weekend Curfew: 10:00 PM

  • No overnight passes

This level provides maximum structure to help residents build a strong foundation.

🔵 IOP House

Employment & Accountability

The IOP House is designed for residents stepping down to Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP) and increasing independence.

The focus shifts toward employment, deeper step work, and personal responsibility.

Key Expectations:

  • Maintain at least 25 hours per week of employment (or approved alternative such as school)

  • Maintain consistent sponsor contact

  • Hold an active service commitment

  • Attend weekly house meetings

Structure:

  • Weekday Curfew: 10:00 PM

  • Weekend Curfew: 11:00 PM

  • Overnight passes available (up to 2 nights per month with approval)

Residents at this level begin building routine, financial stability, and long-term accountability.

🟣 Alumni House

Leadership & Independent Living

The Alumni House is designed for residents who have completed clinical programming and are living with increased independence while remaining connected to the recovery community.

The focus becomes leadership, financial responsibility, and preparation for fully independent living.

Key Expectations:

  • Maintain consistent employment

  • Continue active step work

  • Maintain ongoing service involvement

  • Begin sponsoring others upon completion of the 12 Steps

  • Attend weekly house meetings

Structure:

  • Weekday Curfew: 11:00 PM

  • Weekend Curfew: 12:00 AM

  • Overnight passes available (up to 4 nights per month with approval)

This phase supports residents as they “launch” into sustainable, independent recovery.

A Continuum Designed for Growth

Our tiered housing model ensures that residents are supported at every stage — from early stabilization to independent living.

By aligning structure with clinical care and recovery milestones, New Day provides a clear path forward:

Stabilize → Build Responsibility → Lead & Launch
