Is treatment right for me?

If you find it difficult to stop using drugs despite wanting to, or if your drug use is causing significant problems in your life, treatment may be right for you. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional or addiction specialist who can assess your situation and recommend the appropriate level of care. We can help you weigh the benefits of treatment based on your individual circumstances.

How does New Life compare to inpatient detox?

New Life’s approach is fundamentally different to traditional detox programs. We see that every patient has a life outside of treatment, and often there are certain commitments that cannot be compromised. Patients are encouraged to return to the world and begin a new chapter. It is a medically-approved strategy structured to offer support for safe detox from drugs or alcohol.

How will treatment impact my life? Ex. My job, family and other commitments?

The programs at New Life have been designed to minimally impact a patient’s life outside of treatment. Many patients are able to hold their jobs and make it to dinner every night. We believe in a holistic approach to treatment that promotes family support and community building.

Detox hasn’t worked for my loved one, what should I do?

At New Life we noticed many alternative drug treatment programs follow a similar structure. For patients where traditional rehabilitation programs have been unfortunately unsuccessful, New Life’s unique framework brings an industry-first change.

I might have a problem, but I’m not sure if I want to quit completely. How can I slow down?

If you're unsure about quitting completely but recognize that you may have a problem with substance use, it is time to regain control. It's okay to take small steps and seek support along the way. Every positive change you make is a step towards a healthier and more fulfilling life.

How long does detox take?

Many patients are able to maintain complete abstinence from alcohol and/or drugs after five days of treatment. It's important to note that detox is just the first step in addiction treatment and recovery. After detoxification, the probability of sobriety continues to improve from engaging in continued treatment, such as medication-assisted treatment (MAT), therapy, and support groups.

What can the family do to support?

Having supportive family members can significantly enhance the effectiveness and success of a treatment journey. A family reminds the patient that they are not in this struggle alone. Major benefits of family involvement include emotional support, encouragement, practical support, and milestone celebrations. We encourage families to join our community to learn more about our upcoming events. New Life believes in rebuilding families and offers family counseling sessions aimed to address the negative behaviors and consequences of active addiction.

I’ve never had a mental illness. What does that have to do with my addiction?

Many individuals with addiction also have co-occurring mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or PTSD. This is known as a co-occurring disorder or a dual diagnosis. If you've never had a mental illness, it means you may not have experienced symptoms that could complicate or influence your addiction directly. However, it's important for healthcare professionals to assess your mental health status comprehensively as part of addiction treatment planning.
