At New Dawn’s Auburn location, men find a clear, structured path out of addiction. Under one roof, there is a medically supervised detox to get safely stabilized, a men’s residential program for deeper therapeutic work, and supportive sober living that helps bridge the gap between treatment and everyday life.
Nationally, men are 2 to 3 times more likely than women to meet criteria for a substance use disorder, and they die from overdoses at 2 to 3 times the rate of women. For many men, that reality never gets spoken out loud at home or at work. At New Dawn Auburn, the goal is to change that pattern with gender-specific care that respects men’s privacy, comfort, and long-term recovery.
Why Choose New Dawn in Auburn for Your Healing Journey?
Residential treatment should feel like a place to recover and regroup, not like being punished.
At New Dawn in Auburn, the men’s campus is designed for that balance. There is structure, accountability, and clinical oversight, but there is also room to breathe, rest, and feel human again.
Here is what sets Auburn apart:
At New Dawn in Auburn, treatment is built around how men actually live and what they actually carry. Recovery here is not just about getting through withdrawal. It is about learning how to move through life differently.
Addiction Treatment Programs in Auburn
At the Auburn campus, men move through a focused continuum of care that keeps support consistent from one phase to the next.
- Medical detox to help the body safely clear alcohol and drugs.
- Men’s residential treatment to work on the emotional, mental, and behavioral side of addiction.
- Men’s sober living to practice new skills in a supportive, structured home before returning fully to independent living.
Once those levels are complete, clients can continue with day treatment, intensive outpatient, and aftercare through other New Dawn locations. That way, no one has to start over somewhere new every time they are ready for the next step.
Saying yes to detox can feel like the scariest part. Many men worry about withdrawal symptoms, missing work, or being seen as “weak.” New Dawn Auburn is set up to make this phase safer and more manageable.
Clients start detox in a quiet, residential setting where medical staff and support staff work together. Care plans are tailored to each man’s health history, substance use, and mental health needs.
During detox, men can expect:
- Continuous monitoring by nursing staff who track vital signs, withdrawal symptoms, and overall stability.
- Thoughtful comfort measures such as comfortable rooms, rest, hydration, and simple routines that make the process more bearable.
- Medication support when appropriate, used to ease withdrawal symptoms and lower medical risk under clinical supervision.
- Early recovery education to help clients understand what is happening physically and what comes next.
- A direct handoff to residential care so there is no gap between detox and treatment.
Detox at Auburn is not about suffering through it alone. It is about getting stabilized in a place where safety and dignity both matter.
Once detox is complete, clients move into men’s residential treatment, where they can finally slow down and look at the bigger picture.
New Dawn’s men’s residential program in Auburn provides a structured, home-like space away from the chaos of daily life. With fewer distractions, men can focus on what is underneath the drinking or drug use and start practicing new ways of coping.
Residential care in Auburn typically includes:
- One-on-one, therapist-led care. Each client works closely with a master’s-level therapist who helps set goals, explore patterns, and guide the treatment plan.
- Evidence-based therapies. Approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy help men understand triggers, manage emotions, and change unhelpful thinking.
- Group work with peers. Men meet in small groups to share experiences, learn new skills, and hold each other accountable.
- Holistic and experiential practices. Movement, mindfulness, creative activities, and connection with animals or nature are used to help men reconnect with themselves in healthier ways.
- Chef-prepared, health-conscious meals. Meals can be adjusted for low-carb diets, diabetes, and other medical needs so clients can rebuild physically as well as emotionally.
- Gender-specific living. Housing and programming are entirely men-only, which helps clients feel more comfortable being open and direct.
By the time men complete residential treatment, they have more tools, more insight, and a clearer sense of what life in recovery can look like.
The jump from residential treatment back to everyday life can feel huge. That is where sober living comes in.
New Dawn’s men’s sober living homes in Auburn offer a structured, substance-free environment where men can practice what they learned in treatment while slowly taking on more responsibility. It is a bridge between 24-hour care and full independence.
In sober living, men can expect:
- A safe, drug and alcohol free home shared with other men who are also committed to recovery.
- Clear house expectations about chores, curfews, work or school, and participation in recovery activities.
- Regular connection to treatment. Many residents attend outpatient groups, individual therapy, or community meetings while living there.
- Peer accountability. Housemates support each other, notice warning signs early, and encourage healthy habits.
- Step-by-step independence. As men stabilize, they can work, rebuild finances, repair relationships, and build a daily routine that supports ongoing sobriety.
Sober living makes it less likely that someone will leave residential treatment, go straight back to old environments, and feel overwhelmed. Instead, they have time and support to build a different kind of life.
Finishing residential treatment or sober living does not mean the work is over. It means the work is moving into a new phase.
New Dawn’s aftercare and alumni programs give men ways to stay connected and supported long after they leave Auburn.
- Individualized aftercare planning. Before discharge, each client and his team create a plan that can include outpatient therapy, support groups, relapse-prevention tools, and wellness practices.
- Ongoing structure through New Dawn. Men can access day treatment, intensive outpatient, and other services at additional locations, with help making those transitions.
- Alumni community and events. Graduates can stay connected through gatherings, mentorship opportunities, and ongoing touchpoints that reinforce accountability and hope.
These supports remind men that they do not have to face triggers and stress on their own once they leave the Auburn campus.

Whole-Person Care: Dual Diagnosis and Mental Health Support
For many men, drinking or using drugs is just the visible part of the story. Underneath, there may be panic attacks, low mood, racing thoughts, or old trauma that never got addressed.
At New Dawn Auburn, those pieces are not ignored. Mental health and addiction are treated together so progress in one area supports progress in the other.
Common concerns addressed include:
- Anxiety disorders that show up as constant worry, physical tension, or panic.
- Depression that makes it hard to get out of bed, care about work, or stay connected to friends and family.
- Trauma-related symptoms like nightmares, flashbacks, emotional numbing, or always feeling “on edge.”
- Attention or mood disorders such as ADHD or bipolar disorder that can complicate recovery if left untreated.
With integrated care, men can stabilize emotionally while they work on staying sober. They do not have to choose between treating their addiction or their mental health.
How We Treat: Therapies and Holistic Supports
Healing in Auburn is not limited to one type of therapy. New Dawn uses a blend of clinical, experiential, and holistic approaches so men can grow in multiple areas of life.
Therapies and supports may include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns.
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication.
- Trauma-focused therapies such as EMDR or Brainspotting, used carefully and at a pace that feels safe.
- Mindfulness and yoga to calm the nervous system and increase body awareness.
- Art, music, and other creative outlets that make it easier to express feelings and process experiences.
- Family therapy and education to rebuild trust, clarify roles, and improve support at home.
- Animal-assisted and outdoor experiences through the broader New Dawn network that foster connection, trust, and grounding.
- Nutrition and wellness supports that reinforce physical health as part of long-term recovery.
These pieces are woven into daily schedules so clients are not only talking about change, they are practicing it.

FAQs
How Can I Pay for Treatment?
Many alcohol and drug rehab centers will advertise that “insurance is accepted”, but if you look at the fine print on their website, they will usually disclose that YOU are responsible for billing your insurance company. This means that they are actually NOT a preferred provider with your health plan, and that you will have to pay the FULL cost of treatment at admission. That is a big risk to take with tens of thousands of dollars, and a heavy burden to carry while in early recovery.
At New Dawn, there is no fine print when we say that insurance is accepted. We will verify your benefits for you, and tell you during the pre-admission process exactly what your out-of-pocket expenses will be. We will never charge you more than your copay or deductible for covered services, and we are experts at getting as much treatment authorized as your insurance will allow. Billing your insurance is also something we do on your behalf, so that you can focus on what matters most – your recovery.
Many insurance plans cover up to 100% of our costs. Call us for a confidential insurance verification, and get started on your road to recovery today.
We have a number of affordable treatment options available that are designed to make recovery accessible without causing financial strain. In fact, we have a Treatment Pricing Guarantee that promises to match the cost of any comparable treatment center. We also offer special discounts to Veterans, First Responders, former Union workers and their family members, as well as to our Alumni.
Additionally, If you are interested in financing your out-of-pocket expenses, we have partnered with My Treatment Lender to help you access funds for treatment. They offer flexible financing options, low monthly payments and competitive interest rates for part or all of your drug and alcohol treatment costs. Call us today, we can help you get the life back that you deserve.
If you do not have insurance or prefer to pay cash out of pocket, please reach out for a confidential call to discuss treatment options as well as cost.
