Depression Can Play A Role

Major depressive disorder often referred to as depression is a common illness that can affect anyone. About 1 in 20 Americans (over 11 million people) get depressed every year. Depression affects twice as many women as men.

Depression May Be Caused by Many Things:

  • Family history & genetics.

  • Other general medical illnesses.

  • Certain medicines.

  • Getting high or drunk.

  • Other psychiatric conditions.

Am I An Addict?
 This may not be an easy thing to do. All through our usage, we told ourselves, "I 'm in control of  it." Even if this was true in the beginning, it is not so now. The drugs controlled us. We lived to use & used to live. Very simply, an addict is a person whose life is controlled by drugs.

Perhaps you admit you have a problem with a drug, drug usage, but you don't consider yourself an addict. All of us have preconceived ideas about what an addict is. There is nothing shameful about being an addict once you begin to take positive action. If you can identify with our problems, you may be able to identify with out solution. The following questions on the Assessments were written by recovering addicts in Narcotics Anonymous.

Twelve Steps
New Beginnings is not affiliated with any 12 step program.
We simply recognize the 12 steps are currently the most effective way to treat addictions in the majority of cases. Since AA was the first 12 step program & is the largest we've supplied additional information below.

These Twelve Steps are a way for people to begin the process of recovery from dependency on alcohol, drugs, a person, or activities such as gambling or worrying.
 

Adolescent Drug and Alcohol Treatment
 Every day more youth become dangerously involved with drugs & alcohol, to the point of abuse. Abuse occurs in the lives of  young adults regardless of their socio-economic level, how often they go to church or whether their parents are married or divorced.

The problem is widespread, getting worse every day. The average  teen starts drinking alcohol at 13, with marijuana experimentation at 14.

About The Center
New Beginnings is a dual diagnosis facility offering family-oriented intermediate care to individuals aged 13 to 20 recovering from addiction or similar problematic lifestyles. Here, people are challenged as well as supported in integrating the skills necessary for recovery.

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

The New Beginnings facility is only minutes away from major regional airports, bus depots, rail terminals; hotels or motels also abound near by. Families of clients will find numerous reasonably priced accommodations. Often rooms are available at New Beginnings for family members at a reasonable fee.
