Is New Life For Youth just for youth?
No. New Life For Youth centers are actually for adults ages 18 and over. Under age applicants are referred to faith based centers.

Is New Life For Youth a medical program?
No. New Life For Youth believes in the faith model and concentrates on focusing attention on God and His will for those that enter the program as well as those who are being assisted in some of the services offered. While recognizing the need for professional expertise in some areas, New Life For Youth does not subscribe to the medical model of helping an individual involved in drug abuse.

Why is New Life For Youth effective?
Some might say that it is the length of the program (12 months) along with the religious environment that helps people “kick” the habits that have been formed over the years. We believe it is because of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that a person changes. New priorities, attitudes, reactions, plans and goals in life all add up to real change. New-found life in Christ and learning biblical principles for daily living replace the old lifestyle and the attitudes and behaviors underlying them.

Is New Life For Youth open to people of all faiths?
New Life For Youth is based foundationally on a literal interpretation of the Bible. It is our belief that applying the principles of Scripture to a person’s life will enrich their life and provide them with a path of a personal relationship with God. Certainly people of other faiths may enter the program but, as they are informed of the nature of the program, they voluntarily choose to participate. It is not required that a student has a conversion experience to enter or graduate, but conversion is regarded as the greatest hope for breaking an addiction.

What is a restoration program and where are they located?
Restoration (commonly known as a refresher) programs are for those who have already gone through a New Life For Youth program and need additional support and accountability. A graduate needs to contact the center they attended to inquire as to whether a refresher program is available.
