Transitional Living at the Journey Homes
In addition to Intensive Outpatient and Partial Day Treatment services, A New Journey offers a Transitional Living component to increase safety and access to support in the hours outside of the daily treatment schedule. Journey Homes are beautiful houses within brief walking distance to A New Journey offices. The homes are staffed with qualified and understanding Resident Assistants who are available to support residents with their eating disorder recovery and sobriety needs. Residents are exposed to a variety of experiences to foster independent living and life skills, create sober fun memories, and to integrate diverse aspects of their individualized after treatment care plan to help support therapeutic goals. 
Journey Homes are comfortable 1920's Craftsman style residences. With large windows, hardwood floors, a fireplace and private garden, Journey Homes provides a tranquil environment for personal growth.

Transitional Living for Men with eating disorder issues often feel misunderstood due to the number of myths surrounding the illusive disorder. A New Journey staff empathizes with the specific issues facing males in an eating disorder treatment setting and supports integration of males into both the intensive outpatient and partial day treatment settings and the Journey Homes Transitional Living houses. The men's transitional living is a gender specific house within walking distance to A New Journey offices.
