THE HEART OF OUR PROGRAM:
Family-Owned, and You're Family-Treated
New Found Life was founded by Edward and Mary Ann Spatola more than three decades ago after experiencing their own recovery journey through Alcoholics Anonymous. What began as a commitment to give back has grown into a community of more than 4,500 alumni and their families.
Clients often say treatment here feels like coming home.
We believe recovery happens in connection — not isolation. Residents share meals, complete daily responsibilities, attend meetings together, and build friendships that last well beyond treatment. Many of our staff are alumni, creating a culture of shared experience, accountability, and understanding.
Family involvement is central to everything we do. Our intensive family program, weekly multi-family groups, and ongoing Wednesday night family support meetings help loved ones heal alongside the client.
Recovery isn’t just about stopping substance use.
It’s about restoring family, rebuilding trust, and rediscovering purpose.
Help. Hope. Happiness.
It’s a Beautiful Thing.

The goal of our family programming is to initiate and solidify recovery for the entire family unit. We encourage families to participate in family therapy during their loved one’s treatment journey.

![“My daughter went to 6 different treatment centers before New Found Life. The program is amazing. They guided her along the way, with treatment, finding a job, moving to the apartment…holding her accountable. It is not like the other programs, [where after] 4 weeks you are done. So blessed that she went there. Changed her life in so many positive ways.”](https://www.newfoundlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/shutterstock_2252244439.jpg)

We collaborate with each client to create tailored care plans that address specific needs and recovery goals. Information gathered from the initial intake interview and screenings provides a foundation for where to start with treatment. Care plans also personalize treatment to meet the specific needs of certain groups. For example, we have LGBTQ friendly programs.
We accept private insurance and many of the most common insurance plans. Medicare and Medicaid may also offer partial or full coverage of addiction recovery. To learn more about the insurance providers we accept, call our office today.
