Meet Ronald Plouffe: Lived Experience, Hands-On Leadership
Ronald Plouffe leads New Found Life with a rare blend of structure, compassion, and lived recovery experience. His leadership style is hands-on and grounded in what guests actually need day to day: clear expectations, consistency, and a supportive home culture where women can rebuild their lives with dignity and momentum.
New Found Life is intentionally designed around smaller, calmer, community-based housing, helping guests build trust, practice accountability, and strengthen peer connections in an environment that feels welcoming, fresh, and secure.
About New Found Life
New Found Life is a recovery housing organization committed to helping women in recovery stabilize after treatment and build the life skills needed for independence.
The home environment emphasizes:
- Accountability and structure
- Peer support and trust building
- Strong house culture and clear guidelines
- Convenient access to AA meetings and recovery resources
- A calm neighborhood setting focused on safety and stability
This is not just a place to stay, it’s a place to reset, reconnect, and grow.
About Vanderburgh Sober Living
Vanderburgh Sober Living exists to build peer-supported, recovery-focused communities that guide individuals toward lasting sobriety. Every Certified Home is led by a trained House Mentor and follows structured rules that promote accountability, growth, and healing.
Most of our homes are operated by independent, self-employed Owners/Operators, like Ronald, who bring their passion and expertise to local communities. Through our Charter Program, Vanderburgh Sober Living provides a platform for individuals to start and operate their own sober homes with full operational, branding, and community support.

Ronald’s Approach: Small-Home Recovery Done Intentionally
New Found Life is intentionally designed to feel fresh, welcoming, and grounded, not chaotic, crowded, or disconnected.
Ronald’s approach centers on:
- Smaller, community-based living that helps women build real peer support
- A calm, secure neighborhood to support focus and stability
- Hands-on leadership so guests aren’t navigating challenges alone
- Proximity to AA meetings and local recovery resources to keep support accessible
This model is built to reduce isolation, strengthen accountability, and help guests develop routines that translate into long-term independence.
What Guests Can Expect: Structure That Supports Progress
Instead of listing rules, this section frames expectations as the lived experience inside the home.
At New Found Life, women can expect:
- A consistent daily rhythm that supports recovery
- A home culture built on respect, responsibility, and peer support
- Clear expectations and follow-through that protect the environment
- Early intervention when challenges show up, before they escalate
The goal isn’t punishment. It’s protection, of each guest’s recovery and of the shared stability of the house.
Leadership Team Overview
Ronald is supported by a leadership team focused on stability, communication, and guest success:
- Liza (House Manager): A steady, professional presence in the home, firm yet compassionate, helping guests stay accountable while also feeling safe and supported. Liza plays a key role in maintaining a respectful, recovery-focused environment.
- Ali (Director): Supports guest engagement and manages financial organization so operations stay smooth and consistent behind the scenes.
Together, Ronald, Liza, and Ali collaborate on daily operations, incident response, intakes, and guest support, ensuring the home runs with structure, clarity, and care.
Why It Matters
Recovery doesn’t end when treatment ends. For many women, the highest-risk period is the transition back into everyday life, when structure drops off, stress rises, and isolation can creep in.
New Found Life exists to bridge that gap with a smaller, community-based sober living environment rooted in structure, accountability, and peer connection, so women can rebuild confidence, strengthen recovery supports, and move toward independence one day at a time.
Ronald’s Words of Purpose
“New Found Life is about giving women a real chance to rebuild, through structure, community, and leadership from someone who understands what early recovery can feel like. This home is here so guests can grow their confidence, learn stability, and start living with purpose again.”
Get Involved
If you’re a treatment provider, clinician, community partner, or recovery advocate, New Found Life welcomes collaboration through referrals, resource connections, and recovery-support partnerships. A strong recovery ecosystem takes a community, and New Found Life is committed to being an active, steady force for good at the local level.
