OUR MISSION: is to assist the chronic; disadvantaged addict in gaining the treatment and support necessary for leading a healthy, productive life. Fresh Start seeks to access health care, social services, and opportunities that can lead to a return to individual dignity and self-sufficiency free from the bondage of an addiction and/or alcoholism.
One step at a time.
One day at a time.
One person at a time.
ADVOCACY: Fresh Start believes it is our duty and responsibility to advocate for those we serve. We recognize that addiction treatment and related services generally remain a low-priority; therefore, we use every resource available to advocate for those in need, and assure that those we serve have access to all of the resources necessary to improve their lives and restore their dignity.

I am forever grateful to Fresh Start for the opportunity it gave me, for the people who helped me, and most importantly, for providing the soil from which a miracle took root and blossomed.
