Life Changes offers residential homes aimed at the restoration of lives, families and the community. Support, guidance and clearly defined rules protect the facility as a whole and the integrity of each individual resident. Each home is staffed by a live in-house manager who is knowledgeable about the obstacles residents face as they embrace the recovery journey. In the Life Changes sober living homes, recovery, employment and the restoration of families are the primary focus.

At Life Changes, the New Beginnings Prisoner Reentry programs hold a special place in our hearts. We have long worked to create a home where former offenders can find a safe place to reintegrate into society, reunify with their families and reestablish themselves in the workforce. The gender specific New Beginnings Prisoner Reentry homes are certified through the State of Nevada Substance Use Prevention, Treatment and Recovery Services division. We offer Level II Sober Living Homes as defined by the National Alliance for Recovery Residences (NARR).
