About Oren Golanski - Director

New Beginning Sanctuary NC is a faith-based, non-denominational recovery housing provider serving Charlotte, North Carolina and surrounding areas. Through a structured, supportive approach to sober living, New Beginning Sanctuary NC helps residents stabilize, rebuild life skills, and strengthen long-term recovery in a safe, substance-free home environment. The program is designed to support both men and women who are committed to making meaningful change, with a focus on accountability, community, and personal growth.

At the core of New Beginning Sanctuary NC is a clear commitment to structure. Residents can expect house expectations that support consistency—such as maintaining sobriety, participating in recovery-oriented routines, and contributing to a respectful living environment. This model of structured sober living is meant to bridge the gap between treatment and fully independent living by building practical habits and reinforcing a recovery-first lifestyle.

New Beginning Sanctuary NC also emphasizes recovery principles aligned with the 12-step tradition, encouraging residents to engage with peer support and recovery community resources. Alongside sober living, the organization describes services that can include individualized support, life skills development, and connections to counseling and outpatient resources—helping residents navigate employment, education, and day-to-day responsibilities while staying grounded in recovery.

Because recovery looks different for each person, New Beginning Sanctuary NC positions its sober house model as both supportive and empowering—promoting ownership of recovery while offering guidance and a stable place to live. In addition to the faith-based foundation, the program highlights accessibility and a practical environment (such as basic household amenities and nearby community access), supporting residents as they work toward sustainable independence.

Key elements often associated with the program include:

• Recovery housing with a structured, substance-free environment

• Peer support and recovery coaching / individualized planning

• Life skills and accountability practices to support addiction recovery housing goals

• Men’s and women’s homes, described as MAT-friendly, with an emphasis on safe housing and stability

New Beginning Sanctuary NC is an option for individuals seeking a sober living community in the Charlotte area that balances structure, supportive expectations, and recovery-focused connection—helping residents build routines and confidence for lasting sobriety.
