Addiction affects everyone - not just the addicted individual.  Likewise, the impacts of women's successful outcomes within recovery extend beyond individuals and often includes reunification with children, family and community: healing for one is healing for many.

Friends and Family Members of women in our programs are encouraged to support their loved one as she stabilizes in recovery and begins to learn new ways to cope and communicate. 

Those with loved ones in New Dawn are encouraged to support her through the initial 30-day Stabilization process, which involves discontinued phone contact with Family and Friends (with the exception of children under 14 years of age).  This temporary suspension of telephone contact with Family and Friends is designed to reduce distractions, help ground women, and support  them to focus their attention to their recovery so they can achieve their own best long-term outcomes. Women can write and send letters to Family and Friends during Stabilization, and can receive letters from Family and Friends after the first 30 days.
