About this Recovery House
New Beginning Sanctuary Main House is a men's sober living home in Springfield, Missouri, the seat of Greene County. It is operated by New Beginning Sanctuary, a self-funded nonprofit that has run recovery housing in southwest Missouri since 2013.
A Men's Sober House Built for the Long Term
New Beginning Sanctuary Main House is meant for residents committing to twelve months or longer, not a brief stay. That timeline reflects the operator's philosophy: recovery housing works when a resident has enough time to rebuild a job, a support network and a routine, not just enough time to detox.
Faith-Based and Secular Options, Including Medication-Assisted Recovery
New Beginning Sanctuary offers both faith-based and secular tracks, and it accommodates medically assisted treatment, which is not universal among Missouri sober houses. A resident on a prescribed medication for opioid use disorder does not have to choose between staying on it and having stable housing here.
Structure and Daily Expectations
The house runs on 24-hour leadership presence, basic provisions and limited technology access, with residents responsible for chores, cleanliness and financial accountability. New Beginning Sanctuary holds a zero-tolerance policy on drugs, alcohol, fighting and theft, which keeps the house's daily rhythm predictable for everyone living there.
A Multi-City Missouri Recovery Housing Network
Beyond its Springfield house, New Beginning Sanctuary runs housing and programming in Kansas City, Joplin and Branson, where it operates the Simmering Center. That footprint means a resident who eventually needs to relocate within Missouri can often stay inside the same organization when a move is needed.
Greene County and Access to Services
Springfield is the largest city in southwest Missouri and the seat of Greene County, with the treatment providers, courts and job market that a resident rebuilding a routine typically needs. New Beginning Sanctuary's Springfield house draws on that concentration of services directly.
Certification in Missouri Is Voluntary
Missouri does not mandate certification for recovery residences. The Missouri Coalition of Recovery Support Providers runs the state's voluntary accreditation program, and an operator's internal program tiers or classifications are separate from that state-level certification.
ABOUT US
Men and women come into one of our large homes to get stable and work on their sobriety. Over time, with positive behavior, maturity, and financial stability, they could earn an opportunity to get moved into a smaller “apartment†style unit as they get closer to self-sufficiency.

We will hold clients accountable for their actions with our zero tolerance for Drugs, Alcohol, Fighting, or Stealing.
