New Beginnings is a dual diagnosis facility offering family-oriented intermediate care to individuals aged 13 to 25 recovering from addiction and similar problematic lifestyles. Here, people are challenged and supported in integrating the skills necessary for recovery.

The therapeutic regime has the capability to respond to the needs of both adults and adolescents, men and women, who are in recovery from addiction. The services are interdisciplinary and are designed to meet individual treatment needs of the person.

With semiprivate accommodations, each apartment houses eight clients. All units overlook the courtyard and a natural amphitheater including a cafeteria and a recreation hall.

The backbone of the therapy is the time tested recovery philosophy of the "12 Steps." The spirit and principles of this straightforward humanism permeates the lectures, therapies and community activities at the Center. Growing in self awareness, amending the past, deepening spiritually, developing creative love relationships, and being of service to others, these and other principles are ever present.

The New Beginnings facility is only minutes away from major regional airports, bus depots, and rail terminals. Hotel and motel accommodations for families of clients are numerous and reasonable priced.

THE GOAL
The goal of the facility is to support the recovery of individuals and to aid in their quest for a full and meaningful life. Relying heavily on the time-tested Twelve Step philosophy, we encourage personal awareness, healing of the past, spiritual growth, and the risk of loving and creative relationships with others.
