A Word From Our Managing Partner/President
As our name implies, New Beginnings is devoted to helping adolescents toward recovery from drug and alcohol addiction by offering them tools they need to begin to live healthy, productive lives. Our team of licensed professionals employs a structured, proven treatment approach that for many teens is a light at the end of the tunnel of addiction.
As New Beginnings’ Managing Partner & President, I draw on my experiences in nearly every capacity in the addiction field: admissions coordinator, outpatient counselor, inpatient counselor, interventionist, family program counselor, clinical supervisor, program director, hospital administrator, regional manager and university adjunct professor.
My personal experience helps me connect with the kids at New Beginnings. You see, in addition to being a husband, father, son, a co-worker and a licensed clinical social worker, I’m also an alcoholic and drug addict who has been in recovery for more than 30 years. I know well what it’s like to be young and fighting addiction.
If you’re looking for help or want to assist someone you love, please contact us right away and let’s start working toward that new beginning. We know it’s out there, and we can help you find it.
