St Louis Alcohol Treatment Centers and Drug Rehabs

New Dawn Family Healing is an outpatient program specializing in supporting loved ones of those suffering with a substance or alcohol use disorder.  New Dawn understands that addiction does not only impact the individual using substances, but also those closest to them.  We offer an evidence-based trauma informed supportive environment to support you before, after and/or during your loved one’s treatment.

Most people that have witnessed the struggle of addiction have experienced an increase in stress and trauma in their own lives.  These experiences often lead us to feeling tired, fearful, and uneasy.  Typically, our coping mechanisms during these difficult times play a part in keeping the cycle of addiction going.  By coming to New Dawn, you can learn strategies and tools to assist in reducing your stressors and begin supporting your loved one’s recovery and stop supporting their addiction.

Member Melissa – “I’m grateful for Sana Lake and New Dawn. I can’t imagine that I could maintain without the amazing staff and my family group.  I am taught every day to let the healing happen and that I cannot and do not have to fix everything”.

Member Shannon – “I have not felt this at peace as I do since having a family therapy session with my brother.  Thank you”.

Member Sarah – “New Dawn has helped me so much.  I do not know what I would have done without it”.

Member Alex – “Thanks so much! I find so much comfort in the program and of course knowing you are there as well!”

Member Angie – “If you, as the family have not checked out the New Dawn program, DO IT! They were there for me reminding me of all the things my mind knew but my heart did not want to remember.  Having people there to support me along this path is making it all suck just a little less. So here is to finding the silver lining in the suck; thank you New Dawn for the continued support”.
