Regeneration 1 is a faith-based transitional sober living and recovery program supporting individuals in New Jersey who are rebuilding their lives after incarceration, substance use, and homelessness.

Our Foundation & Belief

At the core of Regeneration 1 is a belief that healing goes beyond behavior change. We believe lasting renewal begins with the transformation of the inner life - thoughts, habits, identity, and purpose - and is strengthened through faith and community.

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

- Romans 12:2

Through spiritual grounding, personal responsibility, and compassionate support, individuals are encouraged to rebuild relationships, reengage with their community, and move forward with hope.

A Journey Toward Wholeness

Regeneration 1 supports individuals through a structured journey that emphasizes personal responsibility, spiritual growth, and accountability. This path encourages reflection, healing, and the development of healthy habits that support long-term stability.

Key elements of this journey include:

Self-reflection and personal growth

Strengthening spiritual connection

Taking responsibility for choices and actions

Rebuilding trust with self, family,and community

This journey is not rushed - it is intentional, supportive, and rooted in dignity.

How We Support Individuals

Regeneration 1 provides a stable, faith-centered environment where individuals are supported as they work toward independence and renewed purpose.

Support begins with outreach and intake through community partners and referrals. Each participant completes an assessment to ensure alignment with the program and readiness for a structured, accountability-centered environment.

Our Core Support Pillars

A safe, structured living environment that promotes stability, accountability, and daily routine. Case support and goal planning help participants focus on progress and responsibility.

Recovery & Emotional Growth

Faith & Personal Development

Spiritual counseling, guided reflection, and opportunities for renewal help individuals strengthen faith, confront past wounds, and grow in purpose and integrity.
