About

We are something different by design.
Our program represents an exciting breakthrough in addiction treatment – ours is a whole new approach. We started with personal experience and the understanding and compassion born from that firsthand knowledge. When we designed the New Method Wellness program, the founders asked themselves “What is working for us?”
A strong spiritual life was working for us. Regardless of personal religious convictions, we all shared a passion for personal spiritual growth from within, shedding old ideas from our formerly self-centered lives.
12 Step programs and a strong involvement in the local recovery community was a given for most of us. We’ve seen and many of us have experienced lives rebuilt and reborn in the rooms of 12 Step programs.
For those of us dealing with physical pain, acupuncture, massage, neurofeedback and other approaches both modern and ancient were often found to be part of a viable addiction-free pain management regimen.
Meditation and other affirmative practices involving stress reduction through relaxation of the mind helped us to feel better about ourselves and our relationship to our own Higher Powers.
Finally, the exciting breakthroughs in the nature of addiction and brain chemistry helped us to help ourselves. Understanding the reasons to consider alcoholics and addicts as “people with an illness” as opposed to “deficient people” helped us to be compassionate yet responsible. We don’t practice punitive measures in our program.
We are not responsible for being who we are – but we are clearly responsible for our own recovery. Our clients know this about us and ultimately, themselves.
We are truly “something different - not your usual treatment center".
