The Purpose of this program is to support the court’s mission to reduce offender alcohol and other drug problems successfully. Criminal activity will significantly be reduced by providing treatment in jail.
Treatment takes place in two general ways: While incarcerated and upon release. New Beginnings recognizes that not every person learns in the same way, so we have developed an approach that is based upon the “Matrix Model”. The program will be individualized and tailored to each person’s own issues and designed to accommodate their length of stay.
A Life coach will be assigned to make each person accountable and responsible for their own actions via the mentoring program. Each client will begin their recovery process with evidence based techniques that are provided with a variety of learning options.

Patients are referred to new beginnings in a variety of ways. Self-Referral, family, friends and professionals. We are contracted with most insurance plans and consolidated funding. When you choose New Beginnings you benefit from our excellence in programming, a strong history of service to the community and a positive national reputation.

Mentoring is an approximately six months of highly-structured personal supervision. This program for chemically dependent male and female offenders is a successful alternative to traditional treatment and aftercare. It facilitates structured recovery with less involvement as the client progresses through the program and assumes more responsibility. Mentoring is flexible to the offender’s needs. Intensity decreases with progress, or may be increased if needed. This program was designed to meet the needs of these clients that experience difficulties finding AA, NA meetings, securing a sponsor, and working a 12 step program. We assist the clients in getting and maintaining correct medications, making appointments, getting a job, paying their bills and giving back to the community.
Despite these difficulties, success is expected as a core principle of this program. During incarceration, New Beginnings also makes available a mentor to help clients find their way in the recovery process. The mentoring program directly involves the probation agent in treatment, which enables the client to see the probation department and treatment provider as partners in recovery, rather than adversaries. Mentoring incorporates curfew, unannounced random home visits with drug testing and weekly involvement in AA/NA.
