The Mission of New Directions Alcohol & Drug Services, Inc. is to change lives that have been adversely affected by substance abuse and addiction within our target community. Our purpose is to create a presence within the community that will address problems head-on and break the cycle of addiction and creates a healthy, positive and nurturing environment.
PHILOSOPHY
New Directions Alcohol and Drug Services base its approach to treatment services upon the assumption that chemical addiction is an illness that involves the physical, emotional, social and spiritual makeup of an individual and is most effectively treated by responding to the nurturing needs of each.
Our services are designed to address the physical, mental, and emotional needs of individuals, families, and targeted youth, i.e. At-risk and Emancipated youth, struggling with both current and generational cases of abuse. Providing individuals with the basic necessities of personal hygiene, food/ groceries, and clothing and access to resources for day-to-day living.
What serves, grows, and awakens a community is a productive participation…
What weakens and destroys, however, is any sector within that community that struggles with untreated:
- Substance abuse addictions
- Mental health issues
- Homelessness
- Poverty
- Familial abuse
