Ready to leave a facility?

Then you’ve made it around the first turn in an important journey. The road ahead offers great reward. If you stay alert and determined the stand that you’ve courageously made can become permanent. Strength and faith helped get alcohol or other drugs out of your system. Now you want to get on with it; get started on this new way of life.

Every day hopeful men and women leave inpatient treatment, detoxes or other facilities convinced they have changed- but at home they find everything else has stayed the same. Many of those connections need to be restored, and some probably need to be re-arranged or ended. Heartbreak, guilty feelings and social influence can be serious trouble for a new way of life. The skill and insight needed get through such difficulty takes practice.

The New Life Launch Pad is an intentional society that offers you understanding and immediate connections in a recovery network. We know you will be confused about what to expect and how to behave now that you are substance-free. It can be like having ‘adolescent’ feelings in ‘grown-up’ relationships. Our staff, managers and mentors coach motivated residents to develop and practice new ways of being, before going home for good.

The Next Step After a Facility;
Structured Living Alternative

The Launch Pad system provides a structured living alternative complemented by outpatient services. Like traditional half-way house living, our “Launch Pads” (group residences) are supportive of 12-step recovery. Through house meetings, house customs and attendance in a program of the individual’s choice, personal-inventory, self-support and service become new lifestyles. To get effectively oriented in the year-long program new residents may choose from three outpatient options (all include both cognitive and experiential therapies).

These are flexible courses designed from an inventory of your personal history and circumstances. After initial screening and assessment participants attend outpatient groups one to three times per week. The group setting allows and encourages clinical examination of the disease concept, behaviorist theories and spiritual approaches being practiced at home, and in 12-step meetings. The focus and duration of treatment is established, with the client’s agreement, in a treatment plan developed within a day or two of Launch Pad arrival. All residents follow the same rules and requirements, and earn the same benefits by faithfully following their programs. Applications may be submitted on the contact page.
