Riverside Recovery Community began as something we simply referred to as Phase Two. Several years ago we started to notice that individuals that graduated from our program and moved into their own homes or apartments were failing to maintain long term sobriety. For the most part, we discovered that a common problem faced a great many of our graduates. Namely, wreckage of the past.

Evictions, criminal and civil court problems, and poor credit ratings caused many to have to rent in areas that were not too fussy about background checks. As a result, they ended up living in areas that also rented to actively using individuals. Having only six months sobriety and despite the convictions held upon leaving New Life, a great many succumbed to the environment and their addiction.

As a way to combat this development, we started to offer Phase Two housing for graduates. We located some property owners of well maintained buildings and convinced them to let us rent apartments in their buildings and use them for our graduate members. The apartments were very nicely equipped and had swimming pools and other amenities. We allowed our graduates to pay by the week at the rate of one quarter of the monthly expenses. Over the next four years 70% of Phase Two members maintained sobriety. We considered this a success and began to look for our own property.

In June of 2009 we acquired Riverside Trailer Park, a 64 space park that we decided to convert into a Recovery Community. It didn't look good at first, but through the work and dedication of our staff and members, it is starting to emerge. Currently, twelve of our graduates have moved into the park. We are working to rehab units as fast as possible and have plans to have an on site store and meeting hall very soon.

Riverside Recovery Community is not restricted to New Life graduates. Anyone that has completed a program or can show three months sobriety, and wants to live in a safe, private environment is welcome to apply. Our fees are $125.00 - $150.00 per week for membership. Members must understand that should they relapse, or do not adhere to the policies and procedures, they would not be permitted to remain. They would be required to enter a program for a period of no less than 30 days before being permitted to return to the park. This would of course depend on unit availability. Random urinalysis and other policies and procedures would apply to all Riverside Recovery Community residents.
