"When I came to NLRC I didn't think I belonged there. There were many rules, regulations and boundaries that I did not think I needed to follow. Now that I have 8 months clean, I realize that all those things were necessary. I realize that you have to accept the process in order to transition into recovery. Going to NLRC really made a huge impact on my life and Ms. Margaret & Ms. Tina will always hold a special place in my heart."

"The love, support and discipline , especially the discipline I received at New Life Residential Center made me get myself together and go back to school. Now I am not only clean, but I am employed. I have a career. I will always thank NLRC for tough love. NLRC gave me a chance to have hope for a new life...it was like I was in a cocoon and became a new and beautiful butterfly."

                                                    Valerie P.

"Prior to coming to New Life I snorted cocaine, smoked crack, abused alcohol, marijuana, and oxycodone. Tina and Margaret introduced me to a God who forgave me and would keep me sober. Even when I was difficult they pressed on. They gave me opportunities such as learning basic computer skills. New Life is not State run so the staff care. They aren't just there to get a paycheck. After graduating New Life I got my own apartment. The past 6 years have been a whirlwind of growth and opportunities. I have almost completed my psychology degree. Thanks to New Life, God, the program and my sponsor I have the ability to lead a sober life."
