Another Unit on Vesta Road

A New Beginning 3 is the third men's unit the operator runs at this Vesta Road address, each keeping a separate group of seven residents. Running several smaller units on one property gives each group of men its own close-knit household.

Questions Worth Asking Before You Move In

Before moving into any sober house, ask for the fee schedule, the house rules, the relapse and discharge policy and the drug testing approach in writing. It also helps to ask who manages each unit day to day and whom a resident can contact with a complaint.

One House in a Two-Address Program

Beyond its Vesta Road units, the operator also runs a set of women's units on Maple Street, also in Dorchester. A resident whose family includes both a man and a woman in recovery can work with one organization covering both addresses.
