RECONSTRUCTING YOUNG MEN’S LIVES THROUGH FELLOWSHIP AND PURPOSE

The transition from inpatient treatment back into everyday life can be one of the more vulnerable stages of recovery. Going directly home can mean returning to the same people, places, routines, and circumstances associated with drinking or drug use. New Soil provides a recovery-centered home where young men can step away from those old patterns while building new relationships, routines, and habits in a supportive community.

Research supports recovery housing as an important bridge between treatment and independent living. Studies have found that recovery residences can improve substance-use and broader life outcomes compared with usual continuing care, providing a substance-free environment and a community of peers in recovery.

Our suggested 90-day stay gives residents time to establish a foundation for independent living while remaining connected to a supportive recovery community. Founded and operated by a U.S. Marine Corps veteran with 17 years of continuous sobriety, New Soil combines 12-Step recovery with daily Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, healthy living, and meaningful community.

On the mats, residents practice patience, humility, perseverance, stress tolerance, and composure under pressure. These lessons become practical tools for navigating the discomfort and challenges of early sobriety without returning to drugs or alcohol—while the principles learned through AA help residents become better students, training partners, and martial artists.
