New Beginnings

Road to Recovery from Chemical Dependency

The "New Beginnings" program is a ten-week journey designed to assist individuals recovering from chemical dependency. Based on the belief that everyone has the power to make choices and change their path, this program asserts that a person's future is not bound by their past behaviours or background.
