A Center of Healing for Addictive Disorders

           
NewStart is Meriter Hospital's comprehensive chemical dependency rehabilitation program. We provide confidential, caring treatment to adults and adolescents suffering from chemical dependency.

NewStart's team of experts - physicians, nurses, counselors and many others - develops individual treatment plans for each person and family. We also draw on community resources to strengthen our treatment program.

For more than 35 years, NewStart has helped individuals and families from throughout the Midwest find their way toward a new, recovering way of life.

Our Beliefs at NewStart

     
The road to recovery begins with caring and support. Each person's needs are different, so NewStart designs our programs and services to give the amount of help necessary for each individual to move toward recovery.

NewStart believes that caring for the family is as important as treating the person with the disease.
