History
New Life Center opened as a shelter program and private addiction treatment program in 1972. The New Life Center began as the formal effort of a group of concerned citizens who were looking for effective ways to deal with homeless, abused, dispossessed and chemically dependent people. It is the oldest combined program in Santa Cruz. Over the years the program has expanded to provide a wide range of support services for homeless and/or addicted people with the goal of helping them make a successful transition into healthy, productive living.
Volunteers
New Life offers opportunities to people who have a desire to reach out to those in need. At New Life we rely on volunteer hours. Volunteers can receive credit towards training programs at local colleges.
Addiction
Counseling
Problems of addictive behavior are
at the heart of many social ills.
Economic hardship is often the
result of untreated alcoholism, drug
abuse, gambling, compulsive
spending, and in some cases troubled
relationships. Many children who
grew up in alcoholic or otherwise
dysfunctional families find
themselves repeating these patterns
as adults. NLCS seeks to equip those
suffering from substance abuse or
self-destructive behavior with the
tools to break out of this cycle of
pain. Recovery involves rigorous
honesty and acceptance of
responsibility. The reward is a
New Beginning.
