Ann Lewis2024-05-02 New Chapter is truly a beautiful place of miracles. I highly recommend this heavenly place of healing and recovery from addiction. New Chapter Faith Based Recovery Centre is by far the best addiction recovery centre that my son has experienced. It is the only Christian addiction recovery centre that effectively worked for our son after trying several recovery places in the past. As a mom, I've been praying 🙏 for my son to receive God's best for his life. I believe that New Chapter ✨️ was the answer to my prayers. My husband is also very happy to see a "New Chapter" in our son's life. Here our son found his way back to the Lord and understands that the Lord has a very special abundant plan for his life. The moment I spoke with Ann on the phone that day, I knew the Lord was directing our son to New Chapter. Jim and I so very much appreciate Ann's warm, gracious and compassionate heart ❤️ for our son's mental health and well-being. All glory to God for the great things that He has done for our son through the ministry of New Chapter. Our son is miraculously starting an amazing "New Chapter" in his life. "The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy" ***Psalm 126:3*** Adam Gunton2024-04-25 Ann and the whole team at New Chapter genuinely care about people that are suffering from addiction and mental health issues.

On Alcohol,drugs and any addictions. But they have a great team because Ann is a woman of love,Grace,hope, wisdom, knowledge and light.
